Notes:

In regard to the marriage with Joan Smith, in history of New Netherland of O'Callaghan, Vol. ll, page 222, a foot note says:
"We find it recorded of him, that he was married in April, 1648, at Flushing, to Joan Smith, by Wm Hark, (or Hart), then Sheriff of that place, against the consent of the woman's parents, and without being legally authorized so to do by the Supreme Authority." "As this is an indecent and never heard-of manner of marrying," the sheriff was fined 600 carolus guilders, and "the indecent marriage" was declared null and void. To prevent the daughters of honest and respectable inhabitants being married against the will and without the consent of the parents, by unlawful and unauthorized persons, the bride and bride-groom were fined 300 gl. and ordered to have their marriage again solemnized after three previous proclamations of banns, which was accordingly done."

Richard was from Wales, and was on the fidelity list of March 7,1647-8 in New Haven, where he married, in 1650 the daughter of John and Thomasine (Fry) Meigs (a son of Vincent Meigs). Like many of the ingabitants of Wales at the present day, (1880), he could not write the English language.
The first settles of (now) Bridgeport, and members of the church, were Richard Hubbell, sen'r, Isaac Wheeler, James Bennett, sen'r., Samuel Beardsley, Matthew Sherman, Richard Hubbell,jr., David Sherman, and John Odell, Jr., in 1695. It was a part of the town of Stratford. Most of these names are yet familiar in the town of Bridgeport.
He was admitted a planter at Guilford, Connecticut, February 25, 1653-1654. About 1663 he removed to Fairfield, Connecticut, and was accepted as a freeman of Connecticut colony, October 13, 1664. At Fairfield he was Sergeant of the trainband, and he served as Deputy to the General court at three sessions, May, 1678, 1679, and 1681. He acquired a good estate, and was an original member of the Stratfield church in 1695. He married first about 1651, Elizabeth Meigs , married second about 1669, Elizabeth Gaylord b. October 4, 1647 (daughter of Samuel Gaylord), died probably early in 1688; married third by marriage contract dated April 16, 1688, Abigail, daughter of Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford, and widow of Joseph Walker of Stratford.
A peculiarity of this family is that he had 2 sons named Samuel, the one by his first wife being called Senior, and the one by his second wife, Junior. His will, made a few months before his death, named his last wife and all his children. The widow died early in 1718, leaving a will.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Fact: 1657, Freeman

Notes:

John changed the spelling of the name to Meigs, its present form. He was married in England, and his eldest child, Mary was born there. John resided in Weymouth, Mass. and in New Haven, Conn. in 1647; removed to Guilford, Conn. in 1654, and to Killingworth, Conn, in 1663, where he was made a freeman in 1669. In 1654 he was admitted a planter in that portion of Guilford now included in Madison, upon certain conditions pertaining to the purchase of land there. He is not represented as having been a quiet man, nor Puritanical in his character, for he was sometimes turbulent and given to having litigation with the town authorities. Yet he was public spirited withal, and rendered some good public services.. He was a man of superior intellectual type, as appears by the manuscripts and books mentioned in his will, and he must have been a man of considerable education and culture. He was many times entrusted with public business, serving as Constable, and Representative to Hartford. Was a tanner , had a large estate, and some books, of which one was a Latin and Greek Dictionary. John was a one time, 1648-1658, second owner by purchase of the Cutler lot (SE corner of Chapel and Church streets, New Haven). The deed of conveyance reads: "Wm Jeanes passeth over to John Meigs his house and house lot lying at the corner over against Mr. Gregson's--betwixt the house lot of John Budd and the highway." Col. Return Jonathan Meigs was a descendant, whose son became Governor of Ohio and Postmaster-General of the United States.
According to Stiles' History of the Regicides, it was John Meigs who rode to New Haven to warn the regicides.

John married Thomasine FRY in 1630. Thomasine (daughter of William FRY and Sarah HILL) was born in 1610 in England; was buried in Guilford Cementary. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
