1. Robert1 Day, born in England, about 1604, died at Hartford, Conn., between 20 May and 14 Oct. 1648; … Two men named Robert Day, not far apart in age, came to New England. One came in the Elizabeth of Ipswich the last of April 1634. He was aged 30, and brought with him a wife Mary, aged 28. The other came in the Hopewell, 3 Apr. 1635, … One Robert Day settled in Ipswich, Mass., while the other settled in Cambridge and removed to Hartford. It is the latter in whom we are interested. The deciding factor is that the Cambridge records show Robert Day to have received 3 acres in Westend Field, 4 Aug. 1634, hence he must have been the immigrant of 1634 with wife Mary. On 20 Aug. 1635 he is named in a list showing the proportions of proprietors, and on 8 Feb. 1635/6 in a list of those who have houses. He was made freeman in Massachusetts, 6 May 1635, and probably removed to Hartford the following year.
The will of Robert Day, dated 20 May 1648, gave to his wife, Edatha Day, his house and lands at Hartford for life, and after her death to his children. If his wife should remarry, security might be required. He made his wife executrix, and desired 'my Deare Brethren Mr. Tailecoate, Wilterton and Stebbing' to assist her. The inventory was taken 14 Oct. 1648, and totaled £142.13.06."
