During King Philip's War, at a meeting of the Council of War at Hartford in Sep. 1675, John Colt declared that "he was shot at yesterday by an Indian," whereupon the Council ordered the return of Maj. Robert Treat and his troops to Hartford from "up the River." John Colt signed a petition of a new town on the east side at Windsor in May 1680. He was listed in a property assessment in 1691 with "two persons under age, and sons Joseph and Abraham of age." John Colt is recorded as a freeman at Wethersfield on 27 April 1703.⁹
• He was living on 25 September 1713 at Windsor, Connecticut; when he conveyed land at Podunk to his "dutiful son" Benjamin Colt of Windsor.^10,6
• John Colt did not marry, as a third wife, Lydia Fitch. His family as reconstructed by Gale Ion Harris in 1991, placed son Joseph as a son of first wife Mary Skinner, and son Abraham as a son of second wife Hester Edwards. A reconsideration in 2005 switches the position of the two sons Joseph and Abraham, making Abraham the older of the two and a son of Mary Skinner, and Joseph the younger of the two and a son of Hester Edwards.^10,3
