name is enscribed on the North side of the Founders monument, 8th from
the top. He was assigned an original (1640) tract of land bordering the
South Meadow. The lot number is illegible on the copy I possess but under
his name is the appelation "Merchant". D. McArthur (Source used

!Waterfield, Peter Whiting. Whiting genealogy. Says William came from
Boxford, Suffolk, England in 1633. His line worked their way up the
Conn. Valley into Springfield, Holyoke and Western Mass.

Hinman, R.R. A Catalogue of the names of the first Puritan settlers of
the Colony of Connecticut... c1968, p. 97 lists many of the positions he
held and things he did in Hartford. Lists his children. Does NOT list a
child born after his death. Joseph was probably the child another source
lists as being born after his death because Joseph was provided for by a
codicil.
William had a sister, Wiggins, who had children.

William married Susannah Abt 1630. Susannah was born Abt 1612; died 8 Jul 1673, Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, United States; was buried 8 Jul 1673, Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, United States. [Group Sheet]

!Her last name might be Wiggin.
!Her first name might be Mary.

!Married (2) in 1650, Samuel Fitch of Hartford, (d. 1659) by whom she
had two sons.
!Married (3) Alexander Bryant (Bryan) of Milford.

!Goodwin said Susannnah died at Middletown, at the house of her
daughter, Mrs. Collins and was buried there July 8, 1673.

!Barbour gives Susannah's sons by Samuel Fitch as Samuel and Thomas.

! I guessed the date of her birth. Her 2nd child was born in 1635. If her
first was born in 1633, and she was 20 when she married, her birthdate
would be about 1612.
