General Notes (Husband)
Thomas Lord (1) married February 23, 1610-11, Doroth y B i r d , daughter of Robert and Amy Bird of Towcester, E ngla nd. The records of the St. Laurence Church, Towcester, sh o w t h a t Dorothy Bird was baptized May 25, 1588.
There is also a record on page 25 of the ancient Marr i a g e L icense Book of Petersborough (near Towcester), En gl an d , o f the marriage license issued to Thomas Lord an d D oro th y Bi rd on February 20, 1610-11. The Towcester Registers, 1561-1633, give the followin g b a p t isms:
Richard Lord, baptized Jan. 5, 1611-12. Anne Lord, " Sept. 18, 1614. Thomas Lord, " Nov. 15, 1616. William Lord, " Dec. 27, 1618. Robert Lord, " May 12, 1620. John Lord, " Jan. 21, 1623-24. Aymie Lord, " Nov. 30, 1626. Dorothy Lord, " July 1, 1629.
("The Founding of New England" by Ernest Flagg; "Lo r d s o f T owcester" by Garvin L. Payne; "Essex Institute , " Vo l. L IV).
Thomas Lord was a man of means, position and influen c e , a n d in 1632 he sent his eldest son, Richard, then a bo u t twe nt y-one years of age, to America. He settled a t Ne wt own, M ass ., which afterwards became Cambridge. I n 1633 , G overno r Hay nes and The Rev. Thomas Hooker, fri ends o f Tho mas Lor d, sai led for America with about tw o hundre d passe ngers im portan t to the colony, and it i s though t possibl e that Ric hard Lo rd went in advance i n order t o selec t a place to se ttle.
From Hotten's "Original Lists," we learn that "on t h e 2 9 t h of April 1635 were registered for transportati o n fro m t h e port of London to New England, in the shi p 'E lizabe th a n d Ann,' of which Capt. Robert Cooper wa s mast er, Tho mas L or d, aged fifty; his wife, Dorothy, a ged for ty-six ; and th ei r children Thomas, aged sixteen ; Ann, ag ed four teen; Wil lia m, aged twelve; John, age d ten; Rober t, age d nine; Aymi e, a ged six; and Dorothy , aged four. " They la nded in Bosto n an d joined Richar d Lord at Newto wn. The ag es of the chil dre n as given o n the ship's regi ster are pr obably only app roxi mate, a s they vary from th e actual bap tismal records.
In 1636, with his entire family, Thomas Lord joined t h e p a r ty of Rev. Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone and one hundr e d me n , wo men and children, which took its departure fr o m Newt ow n t o form a new settlement on the Connecticu t Ri ver.
"They traveled more than a hundred miles, through a hi d e o u s and trackless wilderness to Hartford. They had n o g ui d e b ut their compass; and made their way over moun tain s , th roug h swamps, thickets and rivers, which wer e passa bl e wit h gre at difficulty. They had no cover bu t the hea ven s, an d no lo dgings but such as nature affor ded them . The y drov e with th em one hundred and sixty he ad of cat tle an d subsi sted by th e way on the milk of th eir cows . Mrs. Ho oker wa s borne thro ugh the wildernes s on a litt er. The pe ople gen erally carrie d their packs , arms and s ome utensil s. They w ere nearly a f ortnigh t on their jour ney. This ad venture wa s the more rema rka ble as many of t his company w ere person s of figure, w h o in England had l ived in honor , affluenc e and delicac y, an d were stranger s to fatigue a nd danger . Gov. Hayne s and som e others di d not appear i n the colon y until 16 37." (Trumbul l's Memo rial History o f Hartford.)
It was early in June when they reached their journey ' s e n d . Their first labor was to prepare their dugout s i n th e h il lside and provide shelter for their cattle . The y ha d fo r so me time been close friends and neighbo rs i n Newto wn an d wer e already organized as a church, h ad be en membe rs o f townsh ips and were familiar, therefo re, wi th actio n a s a body. Th ey agreed to purchase terr itory j ointly an d af terwards parc el it out, and Mr. Sam uel Ston e and Mr . Willi am Goodwin wer e appointed, in be half of t he propri etors, t o treat for lan d with the tri be of Suck iage India ns, of wh om at this tim e Sequasse n was the Chi ef Sachem . In this th ey were success ful an d soon purchas ed a larg e area. It i s not known what t he y bartered--pro bably clot h, axes, kniv es, etc. That a co n sideration wa s given, tha t it was incre ased when Sequa sse n confirme d the grant an d was enlarged a gain when hi s heir s and su ccessors renewe d it "to near th e value th e land wa s este emed at before t he English came i nto the se parts" i s app arent from the de ed of renewal itse lf . As soon as acqu ir ed, the land was d istributed to th e n ew proprietors.
Thomas Lord thus became an original proprietor an d o n e o f t he first settlens of Hartford. He lived on th e no rt h si de o f the highway on the bank of the Little R ive r (no w Wel ls St reet), a near neighbor of Gov. Haynes , Re v. Mr . Hooke r, Mr . Goodwin, Gov. Wyllys and other s of th e prom inent in habita nts. His sons, Richard and T homas, h ad th e lots nex t to his . The Hartford settler s were larg ely pe ople of som e cultur e cast into raw con ditions, an d ther e was a mingli ng of hig h breeding an d rough life.
Neither the date of death nor the place of burial of T h o m a s Lord (1) is known. There is an entry on the Hartf o r d To w n Votes, under date of January 29, 1643-4. The G ov er nor , Mr . Hooker, and several others, including Thom a s Lor d, S r., a nd his son Thomas, were freed from "Comm o n worc k in t he hyw ay" for the next three years. As th i s is th e last re ferenc e to Thomas Lord, Sr., in the vo lu me, it m ight be co njectur ed that he died shortly afte r t hat time . ("The Foun ding o f New England," by Ernes t Flag g.) The l and records o f Hartf ord show that Doroth y Lor d owned land s as early a s May 29 , 1651, and that o n Marc h 7, 1652, sh e sold some l and to Ri chard Goodman , and ac cording to th e laws in effec t at tha t time (se e Epaphrod itus Peck's "T he Property Righ ts of Hus band a nd Wife und er the Laws o f Connecticut") a w ife coul d no t make contr acts while he r husband was living . The gra v es of Doroth y Lord and quit e a number of descend ants a re i n the grav eyard in the rea r of the First Churc h o f Hartford , and t he names of Thoma s Lord and his son R i chard are insc ribe d on the granite m onument as among t he f irst settlers . D orothy Lord died i n 1675 at the ag e of 86 , and her wil l , dated February 8 , 1669, is now o n file amo ng the prob at e records in the C onnecticut Sta te Library a t Hartford , an d is as follows:

Porter's "Hartford, Conn. Settlers" quotes from town re c o r d s:
"March 1640" "An Order Concerning Graves" "It is ordered that Thomas Woodford shall attend the m a k i n g of graves for any corpses deceased: and that no c or p s e sh all be laid less than four foot deep; nor tha t b e ab ov e fou r years old, shall be laid less than fiv e foo t dee p ; nor th at be above ten, shall be laid les s than s ix fo o t deep. "He shall receive for giving notice by ringing the be l l , m a king the grave, and keeping of it in seemly repai r , s o th a t it may be known in future time,-- when suc h gr ave s hav e b een made for the lesser sort, 2s. 6d., f or th e mi ddle s ort , 3s., and for the higher sort, 3 s . 6d."
"Town Crier" "It is further ordered, that if any person hath lost an y t h i ng that he desireth should be cried in a public mee ti n g , h e shall pay for crying of it 2d. to Thomass Wood for d , t o b e paid before it be cried; and the crier shal l ha v e a b oo k of the things that he crieth."
"February 22, 1651" "There was an agreement between the town and Richar d L o r d : He is to have the use of the burying place, t o pu t i n h or ses and calves; he to make and maintain th e fenc e ab ou t it , that belongeth unto it, until the tow n shal l desi r e to ta ke it into their own hand; and the n they a re to g iv e a year 's warning; and if he desire t o leave i t, he i s al so to giv e the like warning."
"September 29, 1664." "This writing witnesseth an agreement between Richa r d L o r d of Hartford, and the Townsmen respecting the bu ry in g ya rd : "The said Richard doth covenant, promise and enga g e t o a n d with the said townsmen, that there shall b e a s uffi cie n t pale fence set up round about the said b uryin g grou nd,- -t hat is to say, so much of the said fen ce a s doth pr operl y b elong to the burying yard, and th e fenc e next th e highw ay,- -the pales and post heads t o be hand somely sha rped, an d th e said fence set up stra ight, an d the pales s et even b y a l ine at the tops, an d this t o be done at o r before th e 25t h of October nex t ensuin g the date hereof . The said R ichar d is to fee d off the g rass with horses a nd calves, ac cordin g to th e former agr eement. He is at n o time to suffe r hog s t o come into th e said burying yard , nor to fodder c att l e in it. The sai d Richard is also t o reduce the divid e nt fe nce between h is said orchard an d the burying yar d t o its an cient boun ds. All this to b e done accordin g to thi s agreeme nt, an d so maintained dur ing the whol e term tha t the said R ich ard shall improve th e said bur ying-yard.

General Notes for Child Anna Lord
Mrs. Anna is first mentioned in the records by that n a m e , i n 1653, but was probably his only wife. She is su pp os e d t o have been the sister of Robert Lord,(*) as th e l att er , i n a letter recorded, calls William Bartholom ew , "bro the r, " and the relation could not have been thr oug h Rober t Lo rd' s wife, as the names and intermarriage s o f her fam ily a re w ell known. She may have also held that relation to Edward Bro w n o r h i s wife Faith, as Edward Brown in his will in 16 59 , al so m en tions his "brother Bartholomew." William Bartholomew's house, in Ipswich, was between R o b e r t Lord's on the east and Edward Brown's on the west. She survived her husband and died in Charlestown, 2 9 J a n . , 1682-3. Her gravestone, still standing in Charl esto w n , i s inscribed A. B. died Jan., 1682-3.
