Notes |
- II. WILLIAM BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 25 July 1666 ; married there 8 March 1692-93, with ELIZABETH . Gregory Wilterton, of Hartford, Conn., by his will of 1674, gave him a legacy of ^"10, in consideration of which his father
deeded laud to him in 1709. Pie settled at Brockway's Ferry, in that part of Lyme to which Joshua, the son of Uucas, gave the name of Joshuatowu ; and died there 29 March 1755, in the 89th year of his age, as testified by his grave stone, still legible in the family cemetery at that place. His wife, it is said, was buried by his side, but no stone is there to tell the date.
His father deeded land to him at Tantum Morautuni, (Joshuatowu) 8 June 1697, Lyme Records II, 302. On this laud he probably settled. At the May session, in 1724, the General Court granted to him, in connection with William Pratt, who lived on the west side of Connecticut river, the right to keep a ferry, which is still known as Brockway's Ferry. He
signed a paper, 7 Dec. 1724, relating to ecclesiastical'
matters in Lyme, North Quarter, now Hamburgh.
