Quint thinks, John, and James. His wid. he says, m. Monday, perhaps
Henry of Salisbury, and next Mason. GILES, Hartford 1639, had
Joanna, bapt. there 25 Mar. 1649; was of the earliest sett. at New London,
but his gr. of 1648 was soon sold or forfeit. by non. resid. and he
was of Fairfield 1651, there d. 1669. He left sec. w. Eunice, not mo. of
his ch. wh. had been wid. of Jonathan Porter of Huntington, L. I.;
three s. Samuel, Eleazer, and John; three ds. Elian, if that be a
possib. name; Elizabeth Jackson; and Joanna Gray, nam. in his will of
10 Sept. 1669. HENRY, Dorchester, came in the fleet with Winthrop
perhaps req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, and was rec. 18 May
foll. may be thot. the gent. wh. with Ludlow, Pynchon, and others, was
commis. in Mar. 1636 by Mass. to govern the first sett. on Conn. and
act. at Hartford lG38. See Mass. Col. Rec. I. 170, with Conn. Col.
Rec. I. 17; but whether he was or not, the Rev. HENRY, first min. of
Wethersfield, I cannot confidently decide. On the whole, I conclude,
since Mather puts the Wethersfield min. into his first classis (as of those,
in the actual exercise of their min. bef. they left Eng.), that this man
was only in civ. life, for he is not dignif. with the prefix Mr. and would
never seem to be looked on as cleric. in Mass., and prob. the min. of
Wethersfield came not for five, or even six, yrs. more. See Winth's. letter
of June 1636 to his s. John, Gov. of the new planta. in Hist. I. Appx. A.
60 of the Ed. 1853. He, in 1636, rem. to Springfield with Pynchon; was s.
by a former h. of that wid. Sanford wh. had m. Pynchon, and this s. had m.
his P's. d. Ann, I suppose bef. the m. of his mo. with the f. of his w. possib.
bef. they, any of them, came from Eng. to confound tbe two, if there
were not three (wh. seems improb.) Henry Smiths. I design always to
put the names in the order of their com. to our country, so that Rev.
Henry, tho. older, must follow the Springfield man. Felt has, in his
Eccles. Hist. of N. E. 253, made the min. wh. was receiv. of the ch. of
Charlestown in midsum. of 1637, one of the commission to govern the
Conn. planta. in 1636, with Ludlow, Steele, Pynchon and others, when
we may feel sure, that it was Pynchon's s. in law wh. had that honor; as
also, that the Wethersfield min. was at the date of 1636 in his native
land, had Ann, and Mary, wh. were b. bef. his rem. the latter, bur. at S.
15 Nov. 1641; Martha, b. 31 July 1641; Mary, again, 7, bapt. 12 Mar.
1643; Elizabeth 22, bapt. 27 Oct. 1644; Margaret, 26 Apr. 1646, d. at two
yrs.; Sarah, 6 Oct. 1647, a. soon; Margaret, again, 1 Nov. 1648; Rebecca,
1 Apr. 1650; Samuel, 23 June 1651, d. next yr.; and Abigail,
10 Feb. 1653; was rep. 1651, and, with his min. Rev. George Moxon,
prob. in disgust at the proceed. against his f.-in-law, went home 1653.
Prob. most of the ch. went with the f. but Mary perhaps contin. here
with her uncle Pynchon, and m. 15 Apr. 1665, Richard Lord of Hartford;
