General Notes: Husband - Matthias Hitchcock

---

He came from England in 1635, landing at Boston, MA, in the spring of that year. In Bond’s “History of Watertown, Mass.,” is a “Record of Matthew Hitchcock, a townsman then inhabiting,” receiving in July, 1636, twenty-three acres of land in the “Great Dividends.” This land he later sold to D. Patrick. In 1639 his name appears in the records of New Haven, CT, where he was among the original signers of the fundamental agreement made on the 4th of the “fowerth month called June, 1639.” He was one of the five purchasers of “South End Neck.” now East Haven, CT, where the five dwelt after 1651. In the Colony of New Haven his name appears in the schedule of planters, prepared before April, 1641. He is reckoned as having an estate of fifty pounds and is given ten acres in the “First Division,” two acres in the Neck, four acres in the Meadow, sixteen in the “Second Division,” and his yearly
rates for land are put at eight shillings. His will is dated November, 1669.
