• Notes

  Richard Sperry came to New Haven in 1643. He and his son, Richard are listed as proprietors in New Haven in 1685. (F-68d&e) This info differs slightly from an excerpt in "The Ancestry and the Descendants of Abel Sperry", by L. Steele, printed in 1912 as provided by Anna Mae: "1. Richard Sperry, said to be of Welsh ancestry, was in New Haven, CT in 1640. Wife's name was Dennis ____? He was a freeman in 1644. He had lived on the west side of the rock, one mile from the cave where Goffe and Whaley, the regicides, enjoyed their hiding, and he had supplied them with food. His place was known as Sperry's Farms. (See Savage.) SOME OF THEIR CHILDREN: 1. Ebenezer, * 11. Daniel, 111. Esther, b. Sept 1654, m., June 21, 1682, Daniel* Hotchkiss (son of Samuel, (1): she m. second, Stephen Pierson. iv. Richard, JR, b. Jan 20 1652, m. Martha Mansfield. v. Mary, m.
