Notes:

Aaron Stark's first settlement was in Stonington. In May, 1666, Aaron Stark was among those who were to take the freeman's oath in Stonington, and in October, 1669, he was accepted as a freeman in New London. Between these two dates he had purchased the farm of Rev. William Thompson, the Indian missionary, in that part of New London, at present Groton, situated on the summit of Stark's Hill. September 30, 1669, he sold his land in Stonington to Robert Fleming, who evidently bought it for his stepson, Thomas Rose. Aaron was a volunteer in King Philip's War, and was given land in Voluntown in consideration of his service. In 1673 he claimed bounty for killing two wolves, animals which at that time abounded in Connecticut.
