WHITING, JERUSHA, wife of Col. John, d. Oct. 21, 1776, a. 75.

WILLS, SOLOMON, Captain of the volunteers from Tolland in 1775, was descended from Windsor ancestry, who were among the most respectable families in a town (Tolland) which peculiarly abounded in such. In the latter part of the war of 1755, he was a subaltern, and was the lieutenant commanding in the expedition to Havana in 1762. He was also a colonel of state troops, temporary levies, &c., in the Revolution. He was a justice of the peace twelve years, and on the organization of Tolland County, was appointed one of the judges of the county court. Next to Col. Chapman, he was the most influential patriot of Tolland. He was elected to the Assembly twenty-two times, semi-annually. The absence or expected absence of Col. Wills and Col. Chapman in the army, seems to have prevented their election several times each. It ought also to be stated that Col. Wills having acquired one or two unbecoming habits, or hard failings, in 1793, the Legislature then and thence forward omitted him in making out the annual judicial appointments. He d. in 1807, a. 76.

(Mass. Hist. Soc'y Coll. 1st Series, Vol. VIII, p. 42.)

Good Mr WINTHROP:

Being credibly informed (as by the enclosed may appear), yt, there hath beene some abuse and Injury done me, by Mr Ludlow and others, of Dorchester who would not suffer Francis Styles & his men to Impayle grounds wheare I appoynted them at Connecticute, Although both by patent which I tooke above 4 years since & prepossession Dorchester men being then unsettled and seekening up the river above the falls for a place to plant upon but finding none better to their likeing they speedily came backe againe & discharged my workmen casting lots upon yt place where he was purposed to begin his worke notwithstanding he often told them what greate charge I had bene at In sending him & soe many men to prepare a house against my coming & Inclose grounds for my cattle & how the damage would fall heavy upon those that thus hindered me, whom Francis Styles conceived to have best right to make choice of any place there. Notwithstanding they resisted him slieghting me with many unbeseeming words such as he was unwilling to relate to me, but justifie upon his oath before Authority when he is called to itt. Therefore we haveing appoynted you to be our govorneur there, the rest of the Company being sensible of this affront to me would have signified their minds in a generall letter unto you I told them sitth it did concerne myself In particular, & might perhaps breed some jealousies In ye people & soe distaste them with our Government, whereupon they Advised me to write unto you to request you with all speed & diligence to examine this matter, & if (for the substance) you find it as to us it appeares by this Information herewith sent you yt then In a faire and gentle way you give notice to Dorchester men of this great wronge they have done me. Being the first yt to further this designe sent my pinnace thither at my own great charge of Aimost 1000£ which now is cast awaye by their detaining soe longe before she coulde unlade & for which In Justice I may require Satisfaction, as alsoe for my provision which cost above five hundred pounds & are now (I heare) almost al spent by this means & not any payling as yet set up at that place where I appoynted them, which had I but Imagined they would have thus greedily snached up all the best grounds upon yt river, my pinnace should rather have sought a pylate at new Plymouth then to have staid ten days as she did in the Bay & to have given them such warning thus to prevent me. And let them spaire (as I am told) they may very well forth of yt great quan

*As to the issue between Gov. Rich. Saltonstall, and the Dorchester people above referred to, his letter gives an ex parte view of the case, and taking Sir Richard's character into consideration, it is probably as fair an one as an interested party could have made. He was an excellent man, and deserved better luck than he found at Dorchester.

tity they have Ingroced to themselves soe much as my proportion comes to & if they have built any houses thereupon I will pay them their reasonable charges for the same. But I pray you either go yourself with some skilful men with you or send Sergeant Gardiner & some with him to set out my grounds where it may be most convenient betweene Plymouth Trucking house & ye falls according to my direction given both to the Mr. of iny pinnace & to Francis Styles, which I think they will not now deny me understanding what charge I am at (with others of the Company) to secure this River's mouth for the defence of them all wherein we hope you will neglect no meanes according to our great trust reposed in you, thus beseeching the lord to prosper the worke begun, I commend you with all our affayers under your charge to the gracious direction and protection of our good god In whom I am Your most assured friend

For my worthyly Respected Friend

Matthew Grant's Old Church Record.
MATH[EW] G[RA]NT.

Church things in general [as they have occurred since our] first setting down here in Windsor, at least [since Mr.] Huits' first coming up here unto us August [1639] and because the elders of the church have [a record] of church proceedings in some things as they had, therefore in such things as [there] be to speak to I shall set down here in the [ord ]er I can : Concerning the admission of per[sons to] full communion I could give account of [all, but judge there is no need of such as are dead and gone from us to other places.

And for children that have been baptized that are with us I shall name in their order and And others that have not made out for full com[munion] only to attain baptism for their children.

I here note down concerning brother Lieut. Wil[ton] did remove from Windsor church to go to North[hampton] to help to further a church there the beginning March 25, and now Feb'y the 6, 1667, he was b[uried] here in Windsor, he died the day before.

[A List of those members of the church that] were so in Dorchester, and came up here with Mr. [Warham] and still are of us.
