General Notes for Child Dr. Thomas Lord
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 .
