    "Only one male of this surname has resided in the territory of 'Ancient Woodbury,' but the descendants of this blood in the female line are still numerous in a large number of other family names. John Huthwitt came in one of the early companies from Stratford to Woodbury. The legend is, that he and his sister Ann, were 'of gentle blood,' and left orphans at an early age, under the guardianship of an uncle. The latter being an avaricious man, and desirous of securing their fortune to himself, sent them to New England, under the pretense of giving them an education; after which he squandered their property, and left them destitute. Having found their way to Stratford, they came to Woodbury, with one of the removing parties. John had his home lot where Mrs. Whitlock, in Southbury, now resides. His sister became the wife of Dea. John Pearce. John married Judith _____, and had children:"
