Hi Diana,Yes, there is lots to research on your Capt. John, son of Major John, Deputy Gov. and General of the Armies of Connecticut.Because Major John was famous in his day, his offspring were followed pretty closely down through the years.Your Capt. m. Abigail, prob. dau. of Rev. James Fitch of Norwich, by his first wife.He settled in Norwich (CT) and represented the town several times in the colonial legislature, and was one of the Assistants of the Colony. He commanded a company in King Philip's war, and was mortally wounded in the swamp fight at Narraganset, 19 Dec. 1675; was carried to New London (CT), where he lingered until 18 Sept. 1676, when he died.Their children were: Ann, who married Capt. John Denison of Stonington (CT) andJohn, m. 1st (first cousin - d. of Samuel Mason) Anne Mason (they settled in Lebanon then moved to Stonington in 1703, children: John, 1702, Rachel, l706, Samuel, 1707, Jemima, 1709, James, 1713(m. Sarah Denison), Elijah, l715 (m. second cousin Martha Brown).
Capt. John m. 2nd Anne (Sanford) Noyes - Widow of Dr. James Noyes of Stonington and Daughter of Gov. Peleg Sanford of Rhode Island, and granddaughter of Gov. William Brenton of Newport.They removed to New London where he was a teacher of the Indians at Mohegan.He d. Dec. 1736, at London, where he had gone, with Mahomet, grandson of Oweneco, to obtain recognition by the crown, of the right of Mahomet to the Sachemship of the Mohegans.His child by his last wife was: Peleg Sandford, b. 6 April 1720, at Stonington, and who m. Mary Stanton.
If you know which of these lines you are descended from,Diana, I may be able to send you another generation or two.Blessings-Chuck Mason
