Notes:

John moved to Bedford, Westchester County, New York in 1681, being influenced to do so by his brother, Eliezer. John did not like Bedford, and very shortly returned to Stamford, making the error of selling his land in Bedford without obtaining the necessary consent of the town itself. The land was promptly confiscated by the town, and it was only through his brother's influence that the matter was straightened out and new land assigned to John. This new land was then sold with the town's consent, and by 1682, he was again a resident of Stamford. He married a third time to Hannah Prunderson, widow of John Gibbs.
