Windsor, Connecticut Colony, 1654

Plan of Ancient Windsor, 1640-1654, from The Phelps Family of America and Their English Ancestors, 1899.

In our post of 1 May 2018, we met Robert White, his wife Bridget Allgar White, and four of their children—John, Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna—who immigrated to America during the Puritan Great Migration.

This is a map of Windsor, Connecticut Colony,  in 1654—24 years after its settlement in 1630.

Note these names and places in the bottom-middle of the map, to the left of the title Plan of Ancient Windsor:

  • Joseph Loomis

The trading post was established by the Plymouth colonists in 1633.

Joseph, John, and their families settled in Windsor in 1638, eight years after its settlement.
