Samuel Brockett

Notes:

Jacobus (citation details below) has Samuel Brockett born three months before the date he gives for Samuel's parents' marriage. The citation given for both events is "WV", Wallingford vital records. Perhaps the "15 Feb 1682" date should actually be, in new style, 15 Feb 1683. Or perhaps Samuel Brockett was simply born out of wedlock.

Samuel married Rachel Brown on 15 Apr 1699 in Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut. Rachel (daughter of Samuel Brown and Mercy Tuttle) was born on 14 Apr 1677 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut; died on 24 Jan 1718 in Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"John Brockett was one of the original settlers at New Haven, where he was made a freeman in 1639, and was one of those to sign on June 4, 1639, the compact to govern the community according to the scriptures. He was an excellent surveyor, and was called upon soon after its settlement to lay out the square in the centre of the town, which he did with great accuracy. A few years later the Governor of New Jersey sent for Brockett to lay out Elizabeth Towne (Elizabeth, New Jersey). When the first General Assembly of New Jersey convened at Elizabeth Towne on May 26, 1668, Brockett was chosen as its representative in the House of Burgesses."
