transcriptions of Westfield Vital Records show wife of this Josiah as Experience Dewey--but that appears to be a mistake, as children born later are listed to Hepzibah. Also, Ebenezer listed as son of Josiah and Experience in Westfield Vital Records shows as son of Josiah and Hepzibah on his gravestone. Also Hepzibahs gravestone in Lebanon's Old Cemtery is inscribed as husband of Josiah.

Notes:

John Burrows was born at Wethersfield, Hartford County, CT in 1642. He was the son of Robert and Mrs. Mary (Ireland) Burrows. He was married in New London County, CT on 14 December 1670 to Hannah Culver. Hannah was the daughter of Edward and Ann Ellis Culver. She was born 11 Apr 1651 and died abt. 1731. John Burrows became a freeman in October 1669 at New London, CT. The part of New London that he lived in became Groton in 1705. He was the sole heir of his father and inherited a large amount of land.
John and Hannah Burrows became members of the First Congregational Church of Stonington, CT on 3 January 1685/86. The members who lived long distances from the church petitioned for a site for a church on the Groton side of the river. The pastor, Rev. Saltonstall opposed this and the differences became bitter. John Burrows must have been on who opposed the pastor's views, because there is a record "John Burrows was re-admitted July 20, 1701, having been suspended for offense to Mr. Saltonstall".
On 12 February 1716, John Burrows died at Groton, CT without leaving a will. He had previously given his large land holdings to his son, John. His inventory was valued at 249 pounds, 6 shillings and 4 pence. Among the items found in the inventory of his estate was "1 bedd and beding for the negro Gearle". John is buried in the Wightman Burying Ground at Groton, CT. His grave is covered with a large flat stone known as a "wolf stone" to keep the grave from being dug up by animals.

Notes:

The first record of Thomas Dewey in the new world is 1633 in Dorchester. Speculation is that since he first appears in a record in 1633, he may have arrived in July 1633 on an unnamed ship which sailed from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England. But again that is speculation.

It has been claimed that he was from Sandwich, Kent, but there is no evidence. And most of the early settlers of Dorchester were from the West Country of England, not Kent.

He married Frances Unknown, widow of Unknown Clark, in Windsor on 22 Mar 1638/39. It has been stated that her first husband was Joseph Clark of Windsor, but Clarence Torrey proved in 1928 that this was not the case.

Thomas died 27 April 1648 in Windsor.

His widow Frances remarried Nov 1648 the widower George Phelps, another of our ancestors.

Thomas Dewey appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and the above information is from that source.

Among the descendants of Thomas Dewey are Mamie Eisenhower, Admiral Thomas Dewey and three of the "Beach Boys" Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson.

Notes:

Many online genealogies show Frances Randall Clark as the daughter of Philip Randall. She allegedly married 1) Joseph Clark 2) Thomas Dewey and 3) George Phelps. We have been unable to confirm this through the Dewey Family History, as Thomas Dewey's wifes maiden name is not mentioned.

Philip Randall in his will mentions the children of his dau Phillury and George Phelps, but he does not mention the children of Frances and Thomas Dewey. That would imply that the Frances who married Thomas Dewey was not his daughter.

Also, Clarence Torrey in the NYGBR 59:214-215 shows that the wife of Joseph Clark died before he did. And that the widow Frances Clark who married Thomas Dewey was not previously married to Joseph Clark, her first husband being unknown. Her maiden name is unknown, I can find no valid citation for the use of Randall as a maiden name.

Notes:

Robert Burrows was born in England. His parents are not known. He was married about 1641 at Wethersfield, CT to Mrs. Mary Ireland , widow of Samuel Ireland. She was born about 1605 and died 3 October 1672 at Mystic, CT.

Robert came to America on the "Arbella" in 1630 with a group of Puritans on the flagship of Winthrop's Fleet. Tradition has said that he had been driven out of Manchester, England with his two brothers, John and William because of religious persecution due to their being Baptists. Supposedly, one brother settled in New York and the other in Pennsylvania. No basis has been found for this tradition.

Another theory on his birthplace is that because of his friendship with Robert Parke who also came on the "Arbella" and who came from Lancaster County, England, that this may have been his home. He was apparently also on close terms with Governor Winthrop of Connecticut who often visited him in Mystic.

In 1639, Robert Burrows settled in Wethersfield, CT. He was a carpenter by trade. He moved to Mystic CT and in 1660 was appointed by the General Court of Connecticut as the ferryman across the Mystic River. He ranked third in that town in the amount of taxable property held. Robert Burrows died in August 1682. There is no record of his burial.

Most of the above information comes from the book “Robert Burrows and Descendants” by R Earl Burrows 1975.

John Burrows , b. 1642. Marr. 14 Dec 1670, Hannah Culver . Died 12 Feb 1715/16.

Notes:

Edward Culver was born in England and died In New London, Connecticut 1685 in what is now called Groton. He married Ann Ellis at Dedham, Mass 19 Sep 1638. Ann Ellis died after 1682.
(TAG 31P129-137)

It is often said that Edward Culver was a scout in King Philips War in 1676. However he would have been over 60 years old at the time. Most likely this reference should go to his son, Edward.
(TAG 31P129-137)

in 1881 James P Snell in "A History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey" stated that John Culver, born England 1575-1580 had 3 sons; John who remained in England, Edward who emigrated to America in 1635 and Joseph who emigrated to Ireland. We do not have any source records for this.

A book by Frederic Lathrop Culver written in the late 1800's gives a genealogy of Edward Culver going back to Edward Culver of Kensington Parish, Middlesex, England who married in 1549. There are no source records and the book as a whole is considered unreliable.
