Isaac Goddard served as a private in the Revolutionary War from the state of CT. He applied for a pension while living in Granby, CT in Hartford Co. He stated that he was born in Simsbury, now Granby, CT in Hartford County, 12 Mar 1752. At age 90 Rosanna applied for a widow's pension on the service record of her late husband, Isaac Goddard. It was stated that Isaac died 16 April 1840 in Granby, CT. Isaac married Rosanna Holcombe sometime in April 1776 in Granby, CT and lived there his entire life. Rosanna's father is given as Joseph Holcombe. Her father died sometime prior to May of 1843. Rosanna and Isaac were married by Judah Holcombe a Justice of the Peace in Hartford Co., CT. No relationship to Judah was stated. In 1843, Rosanna gave her age as 90 years old but she did not state her birth date. One son Isaac Goddard, Jr. was mentioned in the file and Linus Goddard signed some of the papers. Isaac Goddard, Jr. was deceased in 1852 according to the file. In 1853 Linus Goddard referred to Isaac Goddard, the Rev. War Solider and as the grandson of said solider. In 1843 John Goddard stated that he was present at the marriage of Rosanna and Isaac Goddard. He was a resident of Granby, Connecticut. In 1843 John Goddard was 83 years old. In 1832 Joseph Holcombe stated that he was a resident of Peru, Hampshire Co., MA, and that he was on a tour with Isaac Goddard in the Revolutionary War. In 1832 Nathan and Austin Goddard made claims in support of Isaac Goddard when he applied for a pension. In 1845 Joel C. Holcombe, Judge of the Probate Court for Granby, CT, and Ardon B. Holcombe was the clerk of the court in Hartford County but no kinship was stated. In 1853 A. B. Holcombe and Ellen Holcomb witnessed the signature of Linus Goddard a grandson of Isaac Goddard.

The names of the children of Isaac and Rosanna was gathered from the family papers of James Pease and his wife Janetta Fetrow. Those papers are on file with Donna Haddock Cooper.

Nathan Gillett had a lot that was on the West side and paralleled his brother, Jonathan's lot. Nathaniel joined the church at Windsor, CT, Aug 29, 1641. He was granted 50 acres of land near Simsbury on 12 Oct 1671, for his services in the Pequot War. He died between 1688 and 1692 in Simsbury, Hartford, CT.

"In the grant of meadows beyond Neponset in Dorchester, N. Gillet held Lot #33, four acres. (A grant of two acres of marsh on 27 June 1636 to "Jellets" may have been to Nathan as well as to Jonathan." 

Granted fifty acres by Connecticut court for service in Pequot War, 12 October 1671.

In the Windsor, CT, land inventory in January 1640 Nathan Gillett held five parcels: a homestead of five acres (annotated "sold to his brother Jonathan"); three and a half acres in the Little Neck (annotated "sold to Mr. Warham"); "in meadow and upland adjoining in the second meadow twenty[?] acres more or less" (annotated "sold to Robart Hayward"); "in Long Meadow three acres more or less and adjoining to it two acres" (annotated "sold to J. Enows"); and "over the Great River begins one hundred sixty rods back & then is in breadth eleven rods, in length two miles and half" (annotated "this is now Owen Tudor's"). This list was amended 5 June 1660 to include "fifteen acres of land" granted to Nathan Gillet. 

On 31 May 1678 Nathan "Gillit" and John Moses came to an agreement allowing John Moses three rods of Gillett's land. "Elias Gillit and John Mosses Junior, both sons to the aged men above written, to perfect and settle the line," also agreed to the line as it was run.

In an undated deed "Nathan Gillit of Windsor who is deceased did give unto his son Elias Gillit his heirs and assigns forever and ordered me so to record it to him and them ... as attest Jno Slater, Register".  The same John Slater noted that the record of "Nathan Gillit Senior's" land laid out in 1672 or 1673, being approximately eighty-six acres, was re-recorded in the town records, the original "being burnt".

"In the year 1687 or 88 Nathan Gillit of Windsor ... being disposed before his death to dispose of his land did in his lifetime make distribution to his children of said meadow lot in the township of Simsbury to each his proportion being personally himself present ... and is as followeth: "First to his son Elias being the eldest son living" three acres and three rood at Weatoug; to "Nathan Gillit Junior" one part of "Nathan Gillit Senior's" meadow in Simsbury; and to "Thomas Wapples of Hartford" Nathan being "his wife's father" meadow in Weatoug being approximately eleven acres and three roods.

On 18 April 1688 "Nathan Gillyt senor of Windsor" deeded to "Nicholas Gozard of the town of Simsbury ... my son-in-law ... and husband to my daughter Elizabeth" fourteen acres of meadow. But Nathan died before signing the deed and "Elyas Gillit being the eldest son to my father that is now living" honored the deed to Gozzard 26 May 1692.  On 19 April 1688 "Nathan Gillit Senr of Windsor" deeded to "Eliez[e]r Hill of the town of Simsbury ... husband to my daughter Sarah" a parcel of land, part upland, part meadow in Simsbury on the east side of the river. Elias confirmed this under the same conditions as the Gozzard deed.

Phelps, Adams, and Griswold Families

From The ancestors and descendants of Edward Griswold of Dryden, New York. by Griswold, Hervey DeWitt, it was learned some more about our Griswold family.  "Edward Griswold came to America at the time of the second visit of Mr. George Fenwick, at which date, also, came a large number of new settlers to the Connecticut settlement. It was at a time when many of the gentry of England and wealthy persons connected with the Warwick Patent were intending removal hither; but the breaking out of the Scotch Rebellion compelled King Charles to call a Parliament, and they stayed at home to carry on their struggle with the King and Archbishop Laud. Mr. Griswold undoubtedly came in the interest of some of these patentees. He was attorney for Mr. St. Nicholas of Warwickshire, who had a house built in Windsor, and also a tract of land "impaled" (fenced), as had Sir Richard Saltonstall. The Rev. Ephraim Hit, who came, also in 1639, was from the same parish, and, also, the Wyllys family, who settled at Hartford."

"His first location in Windsor is not known; but he had a grant of land in Poquonock, to which re removed, in 1649, accompanied by a few families, who there found an "outpost" settlement. His residence at Poquonock was on the site of the present dwelling of the heirs of the late Eliphalet S. Ladd, and who, on the female side, are Griswold descendants. The spot is a beautiful knoll which overlooks the brook on the west, and the Tunxis River on the south and east. As soon as he had fairly established his home, he began to take that active part i public matters which was natural to a man of his character. In 1650 he built the "Old Fort" at Springfield for Mr. Pyncheon; in 1656 he was a deputy from Windsor to the General Court, and continued, with the exception of one session, to represent the town until the reception of the charter from King Charles. At this time he was the principal promoter of a new settlement authorized by the court, called Hommonoscett, which lay immediately west of Saybrook, and to which, about 1663, he removed with his younger children, deeding to his sons, George and Joseph, who remained behind, his Windsor lands, reserving a small life annuity there from. The settlement was organized as a town in 1667 and received, probably from him, the name of his old English home Kenilworth, afterwards corrupted to Killingworth, and now known as Clinton. He was the first deputy from Kenilworth and continued to be its magistrate and representative for more than 20 years, 1662 to 1678-89, and 2was succeeded by his son John."

"The Colonial Records show him to have been a very active, influential member of the legislature - pre-eminently one of those men who, in the first half-century, did so much to make the small colony of Connecticut so important a factor in American affairs. As a member of Sessions, he had the pleasure of meeting with his brother Matthew and his own son Francis; and there has, since that time, rarely been an Assembly of Conn., in which some of their lineal descendants have not been members. He was frequently a commissioner; and in 1678, was on a committee for establishing a Latin school in New London, and was first deacon of the Kenilworth church."

Seymour Phelps and Andrew T.
