Hurlbutt Genealogy

Spouse:     Sarah -??-

Children:  Thomas (ca 1630-1689)
                 John (1642-1690)
                 Samuel (ca 1644-1712)
                 Joseph (ca 1646-1732)
                 Stephen (ca 1649-)
                 Cornelius (ca 1654-)

Notes:    Thomas Hurlbut came across the Atlantic, it is supposed, in the year 1635, for he was a soldier under Lion Gardiner, who built and had command of the fort at Saybrook, Conn.  He seems to have been a man of good standing in the place; he was the Clerk of the "Train Band" in 1640, Deputy to the General Court, Grand Juror and also Constable in 1644. It appears on the records that he received various tracts of land in the several divisions of the Town, which were recorded together in 1647. In 1660, the Town of Wethersfield granted Thomas Hurlbut Lot 39, one of the "four score acre lots" (in Naubuc, east side of the river), which he afterward sold to Thomas Hollister. For his services in the Indian Wars, the Assembly voted him a grant of 120 acres of land Oct. 12, 1671.
 
 

(2) Thomas HURLBUTT Jr. (Perhaps?) ---------------------------------------------  Birth:        ca 1630, England  Death:       Sep 1689, Wethersfield, Hartford, CT  Occ:          Blacksmith In 1662  Spouse:    Lydia KETCHUM (Or KETCHAM)  Death:       bef 1675, Wethersfield, Hartford, CT  Children:  Thomas (ca 1651-1697)	The Hurlbutt Genealogy cites three Thomas Hurlbutts, but Jacobus in Families of Old Fairfield lists only two (Thomas1 and Thomas3).  To date, I have found no records to substantiate the existence of the middle Thomas or of Lydia Ketchum.  It is my belief that this Thomas is an error.
