Lum Genealogy by Edward H. Lum, Chatham, NJ, 1927
John Lum is supposed to have been born about 1620 in Yorkshire, England. The
first record of him in this country is at Stamford, Conn., where is in the list
of pioneers in ----ember, 1642. He was granted a home lot and land in the
field to be enclosed, and was there to the end of the year. (He then moved
to L. I. etc.) ---In Southampton town records, Vol 2, pages 18,19,20, under date
of Aug 20, 1660, it is stated that John Lum has moved to Huntington, that he has
been of the "North Sea" Community (Ogden's) in Southampton bounds, that a son,
Samuel stays in Southampton, and that a son Matthew return to Southampton to do
blacksmithing. --- In Huntington records under date of May 1, 1667,
it is stated that John Matthews sold to Thomas Wicks, Jr., the lot he purchased
of John Lum, now of Fairfield, Ct., ---
John Lum was at Fairfield, Ct., Nov 1, 1673, when John Knowles writes his will
and leaves a bequest (a shote) to "John Lum (spelt Loom) who hath been very
helpful to me in my sickness." See Fairfield Records, Vol. 2, pg 71. John
Lum is a witness to the will. John Knowles died in 1686 according to Fairfield
records of deeds and appears to have lived near the center of what is now
Fairfield, and it is presumed that John Lum was a near neighbor, though no
record of lands in his name are found.--
In Halifax, Yorkshire parish register, Vol. 37, page 295, a Jonas Wood, son of
Richard, is stated to have been baptized Aug 3, 1584, and on page 349 a John Lum,
son of George, of Halifax, it is stated, was baptized Feb. 18, 1592. It is
possible these may have been the fathers respectively of Jonas Wood and John Lum

Stamford, Ct 1640, Hempstead, L. I. 1644, and Jamaica, L. . 1672. In his
will he leaves a bequest (cow) to his eldest daughter, the wife of John Lum.
John Strickland has a son 'Twait" who died intestate in Hartford in June, 1670,
and Benjamin Hinman and his wife Elizabeth, believed to be a

spelling is different. Benjamin Hinman had a son Noah (a Judge) baptized
July, 1689, who md. Feb 28, 1710/11, Anna Knowles of Fairfield, Ct. It is
