". . .John Murdock, born at East Hampton, Long Island, in 1706, and died at West Saybrook, Connecticut, in 1788. This John Murdock, often called Judge Murdock, or Major Murdock, was one of the most prominent men in the colony of Connecticut. He was prominent in social, official, church and military circles. He was the wealthiest man in Saybrook. Several times he represented Saybrook in the Connecticut legislature, held prominent positions in the religious organizations of the Congregational church in Connecticut, and later became judge of the court of common pleas for New London county. He was one of the most eminent lawyers in Connecticut, and during his occupancy of the bench, was possibly the best known jurist in the state. He took a prominent part in military affairs, was a captain in the Connecticut line in the famous expedition of General Abercrombie in 1758 against the French under Montcalm, took part in the disastrous campaign against Ticonderoga, and for his gallant conduct during the assault on that fortress was promoted to the rank of major. Injuries received at that time and the effect upon his health prevented a further participation in military affairs after that campaign, and he devoted himself to his legal, religious and other social obligations which were many.
He left a large estate, and died well known, as one of the most prominent men in the then new state of Connecticut. He was twice married, his first wife being Phebe Sill, of Lyme, Connecticut; she left no surviving children. His second wife was Frances Conklin, of East Hampton, Long Island. They had thirteen children. . . "
