   Marriage: By about 1615, unknown; "old widow Randall" died at Windsor 24 Aug 1665, aged 87 (probably exaggerated). (A "Phillippe Randole" married 10 Apr 1608 at Allington, Dorset, Joan Fush; this seems too early for the immigrant.)

3.   estimate based on birthdate of daughter's son
4.   Stiles read the date of 1662 for a Philura rather than Philip and assumed that the immigrant was the Philip who died in 1648, but Stiles had not seen the will. The Philip who died 1648 was his son.

Founders of Windsor, CT

Windsor was the first permanent English settlement in Connecticut. Local indians granted Plymouth settlers land at the confluence of the Farmington River and the west side of the Connecticut River, and Plymouth settlers (including Jonathan Brewster, son of William) built a trading post in 1633. But the bulk of the settlement came in 1635, when 60 or more people led by Reverend Warham arrived, having trekked overland from Dorchester, Massachusetts. Most had arrived in the New World five years earlier on the ship "Mary and John" from Plymouth, England. The settlement was first called Dorchester, and was renamed Windsor in 1637.
