Farmington 1653, prob. br. of Joseph, had been one of the sett. at Hartford
1640, tho. not orig. propr. had, w. Elizabeth but no ch. and d. aft. short resid.
at F. From his will of 4 June 1657, giv. all his ho. and lds. at F. to w. for
life, and aft. to his br. John K. and two m. sis. all dwel. in O. E. and
order, that br. and sis. shall pay cous. i. e. neph. Joseph�s three ch. �6.
&c. my corresp. infer. as most sound. he might, �that the fam. had an Eng.
origin, rather than a Scotch one.� This would correct the suggest. in Geneal.

kn. that within the bounds of N. E. at the date of that will there could not
be one Scottish family in two thousand. However, in the same Vol. XIV. 377,
a more reasona. tradit. is offer. that the fam. was from Isle of Wight.
