Hannah, d. of Joseph Judson, had Hannah, bapt. 11 Feb. 1693; Sarah,

Milton, prob. s. of the first Samuel, was deac. and d. 31 Jan. 1734 in his

Susanna, had Susanna, b. 29 Oct. 1687; and recompense, 19 Mar.

preced. mo. order. the few friends of Hooker, wh. had sat down at B. to
rem. to a safer spot. he was freem. 6 Nov. 1632, and in the great
exodus, June 1636, rem. to Hartford, and there seems to have liv. in the

John Terry of Windsor; and Sarah of the sec. w. m. 10 Nov. 1669,
Jonathan Ashley of Springfield. He d. 1675, his will of 16 May 1675,
