• Notes

  What is consistently attributed to him is that he was admitted as a freeman in 1670 and listed as a proprietor in 1685. (F-15,29) He moved to Wallingford sometime after 1668. The Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connectiys that he also has a son named Abner, born 1667. This source also said he was married to Mary Brooks and this is a confusion with other Brooks marriages in the Bunnell line. (F-23)
