1st Deacon of 2d Church in New London
age 82
"He was a religious leader and became a deacon when a church was formally organized in 1722 (the Second Church of New London, later Montville Center Church). He was delegated to go to Boston to get the new pastor, Rev. James Hillhouse, and bring him to North Parish. He was very active in the parish, serving on committees and as moderator. In 1724, the General Court of the Colony appointed him to serve on a committee to expend "on pious uses" public money raised on unimproved lands. He owned a mill and a good farm near the Norwich, CT line. His homestead was atop Raymond Hill. He and his wife are buried in Raymond Hill Cemetery. In his will, he left his wife an Indian boy, on condition that she teach him to read and write. All ten of their children were born in Stonington, CT." Find A Grave contributor Sue McDuffe
