11 2. A7ina,-^ who married, October i6, 1646, Matthew Griswold, then
of Windsor (see ©ftlStUClllr)*
12 3. Hemy,^ born January 21, 1610-11; who married, November 18,
1641, Sarah daughter of Mr. Thomas Newberry, "from a Devonshire
family, 'one of the earhest settlers and largest landed proprietors of
Dorchester;'" and died July 12, 1680. His widow died July 16, 1684.
From Stiles's "Ancient Windsor"^ we learn that, according to tradi-
tion, the Newberrys were of county Devon, that they became involved in
the civil war between the Parliament and Charles I., and acted a conspicuous
part as Cromwellians ; and that Hon. J. H. Trumbull of Hartford, some
years since, found old letters of the family, pasted into an old book, in
which mention is made of an " Uncle (or Capt.) Newberry " Hving at
Morchard (now Marchard Bishop) fifteen miles from Exeter, in Devonshire.
Thomas Newberry, the emigrant, we farther learn, becoming a Freeman of
Dorchester in 1634, had many and large grants of land as one of the Dor-
chester Company, and, says Stiles, " laid out a large farm in Squantum,
and built a house there." But he became "early engaged in the Connecticut
enterprise, sold his Dorchester property," and would have removed, had
not his death in 1636 prevented him. His family migrated to the Connec-
ticut. His Will, dated 1635, has been printed in "The New England
Hist, and Geneal. Register." The Inventory of his estate, including land
in England to the value of ^300., amounted to ^^1520. 4. 7.^ In Win-
throp's " New England " is given a letter from " Your loving friends,"
H. Vane Jr., John Winthrop and Flugh Peter, "to our loving and much
respected Friends Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Maverick, Mr. Newberry and Mr.
Stoughton, and the rest of our Friends engaged in the business of Connec-
ticut Plantations in the Town of Dorchester. . . ."'
