Notes for Joseph LOOMIS
Recorded in the 1640 Town Records at Windsor in the list of “First Settlers of Windsor, five years after their removal from Dorchester.” (NEHGR 5:365) [The list includes people who arrived after 1635, such as those who came with Huit in 1639]
Joseph’s immigration is set by a deposition recorded in 1639 and later held at the CT Hist Soc:
Hills of Charlestown, taken 30th July, 1639:(*)
"Joseph Hills of Charlestowne, in New England, Woollen Draper,** aged about 36 yeares, sworne, saith upon his oath that he came to New England undertaker in the ship called the Susan & Ellen of London whereof was master Mr. Edward Payne, in the yeare of our Lord one thousand six hundred thirty and eight, the 14th yeare of the raigne of our Souraigne Lord the King that now is and this knowes that divers goods and chattells, victualls & commodities of Joseph Loomis late of Brayntree in the County of Essex, Woolen-draper, wch were put in three butts, two hogsheds, one halfe hogshed, one barrel, one tubb & three firkins, transported from Malden in the County of Essex to London in an Ipswch Hye, were shipped in the said ship upon the eleventh day of Aprill in the yeare abovesayd, and this deponent cleared the said goods wth divers other goods of the said Joseph Loomis and other mens, in the Custome-house at London, as may appeare by the Customers bookes, and this dept saith that the said goods were transported into New England in the said ship where she arrived on the seaventeenth day of July in the yeare aforesayd."
Joseph is traced to Braintree through a 1650 letter from William Lingwood to his “cousin Clarke” in which he mentions his “cousin Loomis”.
Joseph purchased land in Windsor on 2 Feb 1639/40, thus he likely came to Windsor in the summer or autumn of 1639. This fits with the supposition that he camewith Rev. Ephraim Huet, who arrived at Windsor, Aug. 17, 1639. He brought with him five sons, all of whom were freemen, Oct. 7, 1669, and three daughters. His house was situated near the mouth of the Farmington river on "The Island," so called because at every great freshet it became temporarily an island by the overflowing of the Connecticut River. (This land is currently the site of the Loomis Chaffee school, established in the 1870s by five siblings who were descendants of Joseph.)
The order of birth of his children is set by a document in the Records of Particular Court for the colony of Connecticut, vol. 2, p. 115. The agreement of the children of Mr. Joseph Loomis respecting the division of the estate of said deceased, as approved by the court Dec. 2, 1658 is signed by the children in the following order: Joseph Loomis, Nicholas Olmsted, Josias Hull, John Loomis, Thomas Loomis, Nathaniel Loomis, Mary Tudor, Samuel Loomis. Marriage dates also follow this order.[ [521]]
Savage’s: JOSEPH, Windsor, was not first at Dorchester perhaps, and the fam. tradit. that be came in the Mary and John is wrong; and more likely is it, tho. no evidence is found, that he accomp. Rev. Ephraim Huet, in 1638, and brot. s. Joseph, John, Thomas, Samuel, and Nathaniel, beside ds. Mary, w. of John Skinner, wh. when wid. m. 13 Nov. 1651, Owen Tudor; Elizabeth wh. m. 20 May 1641, Josiah Hull; and one wh. m. Nicholas Olmstead. His w. d. Aug. 1652, and he d. 1658.[ [500]]
