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 to came to this country and married sisters, the daughters of Sergeant John Strickland.  Jonas Wood md.

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 daughter of John Lum, had a son "Wait," no doubt named for her uncle, though the 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.
