Hugh Welles was by trade a carpenter, and in his will gave his tools to his son John. The will is dated Nov. 20, 1678.
"The Gen. Court at Hartford, May 21, 1653, having rec'd orders from the Commissioners to appoint a military company, directed the same to be organized forthwith. Hugh Welles was appointed Drummer for the Company."
"The Townsmen have hired Hugh Welles to beate the drum for one whole year from the 25th of April, from that time twelve months, every night and morning, for the setting and the calling of the watch in the morning, and for to beate it every Lord's Day, and the Lecture dates, and for all other occasions of the townsmen shall stand in need for, and the townsmen have provided to pay him twelve pounds."
