Stratford, Connecticut Colony, 1639

Anne if you look at this original map and compare it with the later map you will see very few of these original families not on the later one in some form. My point is lot # 8 has John Hurd Sr. The later map has Adam Hurd on this same lot and his younger brother John Hurd is on a different lot[s]. My point is that these original family lots are passed down to younger generations, [father to son]. Adam being the oldest son would have inherited the father's [John Sr.] lot after his death. I also descend from the Bostwick family listed here as Arthur Bostwick also known as Willam. Actor John Wayne also descends from this man per Connection Finder.
