Notes:  CONNECTICUT'S rudimentary government, providing for rule by eight men, lasted only about one year. This group, called "the magistrates," consisted of Roger Ludlow, William Phelps, William Pynchon, Henry Smith, John Steel, William Swaine, Andrew Ward, and William Westwood. They did not attempt to select a governor, since John Winthrop, Jr., had been acknowledged as head of the territory.  (Andrews, “Beginnings of Connecticut”, p. 29-30;  Col. Records, Vol I, pg.9)
