    • The North Family In 1635.
      John North sailed from London at 20 years of age in the 'Susan and Ellen' and landed at Boston 4-16-1635. (see Hotten's Original List) 'A bark of 40 tons arrived 4-16-1635.' ---from Gov. John Winthrop's History of New England. Under the guidence of Richard Saltonstall, some of the party went towards Ipswich, MA.

      On the list of proprieters there appeared the names of both Richard Saltonstall and John 'Northe'. (1637). According to Ipswich town records for 1637 John North was granted 'three acres of land near the reedy marsh and three acres of the lyke ground to enjoy the sayd Land, his heirs and assigns forever'. In 1652, John North appears in the Hartford, CT. town records. In 1653, in the Farmington land records. He was one of the 84 original proprietors among whom the unoccupied lands were divided in 1672.

      John North and his wife were members of the Farmington Church. He was made a freeman of CT. 5-21-1657. In 1684 he had an estate of 157 pounds. His marriage record is cloudy, but most historians agree his wife was Hannah Bird, a daughter of Thomas Bird. (Some say that he was married more than once.) John, the eldest son (b. 1641) became Dr. John North, 'professor of Physic' of whom there are several medical records. The Norths became especially eminent in medicine in New England-----particularly surgery (bonesetting) and almost every succeeding generation had several doctors.

      Probably like the Saltonstalls, with whom John North came, on the same boat, he was from the parish of Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In the records of the parish of Rotherham is entered the marriage of John North and Elizabeth Robinson 12-6-1614--who may have been his parents.

      Caroline North's HISTORY OF BERLIN however, establishes John's ancestry in England as follows:
      Dudley 3rd Lord North b. 1581 d. 1666 Sir John North b. 1551 abt. d. 1597 Roger 2nd Lord North b. 1530 d. 1600 Edward 1st Lord North b.1564 abt. d. 1594 Roger North Esq. - A London Citizen
      Roger North Esq.
      Thomas North
      Robert North

      Both Thomas North and Hannah Newell were members of the church. Hannah was married at 13, if records are correct, and had two sons by the time she was 17. Dhe died at 101.

      After his marriage and the birth of his first two sons, Thomas enlisted under Capt. Henchman in King Phillip's War. He was stationed with the Conn. Troops in the vicinity of Boston in 1675, and was with the garrison at Hadley, MA. (See 'Soldiers of King Phillip's War') . He was made a freeman 2-8-1678 and received a grant of land for his military service in or near Northington (now Avon) where he and Joseph Woodford were pioneer settlers.

      There he lived on the east side of the river near the old Marshall's Tavern 'under the mountain' and north of the Hartford and Albany Turnpike. He was a magistrate of the Colony of Connecticut.

      Thomas North Jr. was a pioneer settler in that part of Berlin known as Christian Lane, where he owned much land, possibly a part of the original grant made to his father. He was one of 7 pillers of the original Congregational Church of Kensington, which was formed in 1712. A man of wealth and influence, he lived near 'Seymour Stockade', which was built of 16ft. palisades sharpened to points, and affording protection from Indians. Around this stockade clustered many families.

      Thomas North Jr. and Thomas Hart were a committee to whom Rev. William Burnham deeded land 1-7-1716 for a 'burying place in Christian Lane to by theirs and their heirs forever for the abovesaid use'. The grave-yard had been restored by the Emma Hart Willard Chapter, DAR.

      Isaac North was baptized by Rev. Samuel Goodrich, the father of 'Peter Parley' who preached solid doctrinal sermons under an antique sounding board. Isaac lived in a house still occupied (1921) and in good condition, one mile north of Berlin Village and later known as the Abijah North place. Deacon Isaac and wife Mary are both buried at Beckley Cemetery.
