| William Northrop1694 b. Milford a possible ancestor. In Fairfield by 1722. Bought land by Aspetuck River 1728/9. Children recorded Greenfield 1729 - 1743. Marriages recorded Greenfield 1744 Gilbert & 1745/6 Drew. |
1725 Greenfield Hill residents assembled in a tiny building in 1725 for their first worship as the “Northwest Parish” which had recently been permitted to separate from the First Church of Fairfield. There were 13 men. 1729 Redding The first Society meeting was held June 5th, 1729-less than a month after the parish was organized.... The three first committee men of the parish, elected at this meeting, were John Read, George Hull, and Samuel Sanford. 1757 Norfield Parish set off (Weston) 1762 North Fairfield set off [ Easton] Following the Pequot Swamp war between the Native Americans and the English in 1637, Fairfield and Stratford were being settled by 1639. The city of Bridgeport, and the towns of Trumbull, Shelton, and Monroe were non-existent at the time as was the town of Easton. Parts of what were then Stratford and Fairfield, eventually became Easton and southern Redding. In 1667 The Connecticut Colony ordered a survey of the boundary of Stratford and Fairfield to settle land disputes. The northern boundary of Fairfield was set at the current site of Cross Highway in Redding. That survey affects areas of Easton down to the present day. In 1667 Captain Nathaniel Seeley had purchased “the lands at the bottom of Aspetuck neck between the Saugatuck and Aspetuck rivers from Crecroes. The Aspetuck Landways Study tells us that Captain Seeley was killed in King Phillip’s Wars but that his descendants were among the earliest settlers of Easton. In 1670/71, the natives Crecroes and James, another native Sachem (chief) signed deeds with the town of Fairfield and the Pequonnocks signed similar deeds with Stratford. This purchase by Fairfield from the natives secured “the last six miles of the town common” of the Native Americans’ land holdings in the area for the sum of 36 pounds sterling. Fairfield’s purchase included what is now northern Fairfield, Easton, Weston, and southern Redding. The Stratford purchase included what is now Shelton, Trumbull, Monroe, and eastern Easton. These remote northern areas were not settled for quite a few years. Shortly after the signing of these deeds transferring ownership of the lands from the natives to the settlers, the local government defined what were called The Long Lots. This followed an English practice of dividing fields into long narrow strips but this was on a much larger scale, with those strips of land reaching 10 miles inland, covering the areas that are now Westport, Fairfield, Weston, Easton, and southern Redding. The lots were distributed to local proprietors based on their tax payments and varied greatly in width from almost 900 feet wide to a just more than 30 feet wide. They reached from a little bit north of the current location of The Post Road in Westport, inland to the rear of Fairfield at the current location of Cross Highway in Redding, and from the Norwalk-Westport line east to what was then the Fairfield-Stratford line, now the boundaries of Fairfield-Bridgeport, Easton-Trumbull, and Easton-Monroe. That eastern line was along the current locations of South Park and North Park Roads in Easton. The Easton-Trumbull-Monroe line now runs a bit farther east than those roads, following the Mill River north of Easton Reservoir. There were no surveys done at that time and expectation was not that these properties would be quickly settled. But a landed elite was created and this played an important role in the economics of the Colonial era in our area. The Aspetuck Landways Survey tells us that there was little coinage at the time so ownership of land became a basis for credit and wealth and led to the existence of Colonial Land Banks. MAP Upright highways, those running south to north from near the coast going inland, were mandated by 1692 but were not immediately surveyed. We are told that due to poor upright highways early in the 18th century, Weston did not begin to be settled until 1725. By 1709, a cart track existed from Fairfield on its way to Danbury, running along what is now Redding Road through Fairfield to the site of the Aspetuck River, and then following the river north, still along Redding Road to it’s intersection with Black Rock Road where it then continued to follow the river north. This came to be called “Country Road.” A map below shows the “upright highways” along with the “cross highways,” the roads that ran east and west. |
During this period events happened of the greatest moment to the colony. Three of the terrible French and Indian wars occurred, to which Redding contributed her full share of men and money, although Fairfield received the credit. Then there were constant alarms of Indians on the border-there were hunting and exploring parties into the wilderness, under the guidance of the friendly Indians, and the usual incidents of pioneer life; all of which would have been vastly entertaining to the men of today, and which a hundred years ago might have been taken down from the lips of the actors themselves, but which has passed away with them forever. Things spoken vanish, while the things written remain, and the unfriendliness to the pen, of the early settlers, has entailed a sad loss upon their descendants. It is evident, however, that this was the busiest period in the history of the town. The men were abroad in the clearings from morn till night, felling the trees, burning, ploughing, sowing, and reaping, or building churches, school-houses, mills, highways and bridges. The women remained in the rude cottages preparing the simple food, carding and spinning wool, weaving it into cloth, fashioning the homely garments of linsey-woolsey and homespun, and rearing their large families of rosy, healthful children. This is the picture in the barest outline; the imagination of the reader will fill it out at pleasure: but, as before said, for our details-acknowledged facts-we must turn to the quaint and musty records of the Society.

| Pequot War lands Nathaniel Seeley Nathaniel Seeley was the son of Robert Seeley of London and Wethersfield, Connecticut. Born in London, he resided in New Haven in 1646 but later removed to Fairfield by 1657. In 1667 he purchased land at Aspetuck Neck between the Saugatuck and Aspetuck Rivers from the sachem Cockenoe. Seeley was a sergeant in 1674 and the following year promoted to captain of the Fairfield County Dragoons and lieutenant of the Third Company of Robert Treat’s Connecticut Regiment. He and twenty of his unit died at the Narragansett Swamp Fight in December 1675. Authorities subsequently granted Seely’s widow two hundred acres of land at Fairfield.

Jackson, Henry, -1682Henry Jackson, mill owner, probably migrated from England to New England in 1635. He settled in Watertown, Connecticut, in 1637 and moved to Fairfield Country in 1648, where he established a mill. After selling the mill to Samuel Morehouse in 1653, he moved to Poquannock (i.e. Fairfield), where he bought a home and lot from Thomas Wheeler, Jr., and where he negotiated and witnessed the land agreement between the town of Fairfield and the Poquannock Indians in 1657. He was made an assistant of the Connecticut General Court in May 1658. Two years later, the Court appointed him to settle a land dispute between the Indians and settlers of Norwalk. He left a will dated Nov. 11, 1682.

| The first long lot in what is now the village of Georgetown was known as the Osborn long lot granted to Richard Osborn for military service in the Pequot Indian War. This was bounded on the west and northwest by the then Norwalk, now Wilton line and came to the boundary rock in the Norwalk River. This sec-tion is in the Weston part of Georgetown. It has been said that Richard Osborn built on the Osborn long lot at an early date but this has not been proven. The first settler we have record of who built on this section was William Osborn, who built a log house in 1734 on or near where the Gregory Osborn house now stands. (This house is now owned by William E. Osborn of Westport, a direct descendant of Richard Osborn, the first owner of the land.) Later members of the Osborn family built here, giving it the name of Osborntown. http://historyofredding.net/HGsettlements.htm |
