"Thomas Lupton of New Haven early appears and almost as early disappears as a factor in Norwalk concerns. He was made a freeman in 1664, but the ancient Town Records make name-mention of him prior, by a few years, it would appear, to that date. His home-lot was at the rear, somewhat, of the main line of hearthstone appropriations, but one emanated from thence who became the progenitress of a large family. His daughter Hannah married Ebenezer Blakeley, and had a daughter, to whom was given the mothers name, Hannah, who married John Nash2d. John Nash2d and his brother Nathan, were the only sons of John1st (son of Edward Nash1st). Nathan, it is believed, had no children, which fact would constitute John Nash2d (whose wife's mother was a Lupton), progenitor of all of Norwalk Nash name."
