Thomas JUDD

Abt 1609 - 1688  (79 years)

• Name	Thomas JUDD  [1, 2]
  	He came from England in 1633 or 1634, and settled in Cambridge, Mass. It is interesting to note that his homestead there probably embraced the spot where the Craigie House stands, the residence of the poet Longfellow. (Paige's Cambridge, p. 595.) He was made Freeman, May 25, 1636, and was probably in Hooker's party for the founding of Hartford that same year. Was one of the first settlers and a proprietor of Farmington, removing thither about 1644; one of the "Seven Pillars" of the church at Farmington and its second Deacon. On the list of members in full communion dated March 1, 1679/80, his name stands second. In October, 1646, he and his brothers were occupying a farm in Farmington belonging to Gov. Haynes. He was a substantial farmer and an influential man in Farmington. He, and Deacon Stephen Hart, were the two first Deputies sent from there to the General Court in May 1647, and he served in that capacity many years. He was one of a commission to notify the Indians of Farmington of an order of the General Court held August 18, 1658, regarding the Indian garrison at Farmington, and March 13, 1661/2, the General Court granted him and Anthony Howkins, 400 acres of land. Hinman says he went to Waterbury before going to Northampton, but this lacks confirmation. His fist wife died about 1678, and Dec 2, 1679, he m. (2) Clemence, widow of Thomas Mason of Northampton, who had a good estate and no children. He lived with her in Northampton most of the time during the rest of his life, and he was Selectman there in 1682. [1]
