1630 - 1719 (88 years)

Name	Daniel WETHERELL [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
	Daniel Wetherell was born November 29, 1630, at Free Schoolhouse, in Maidstone, Kent County, England, coming to New England with his father when he was but about four years old. When he had arrived at manhood, or possibly before that, he took up residence in New London, Connecticut, where he showed himself to be possessed of superior executive abilities, combined with a trustworthy character, and that community proceeded to make use of him according. He served in one office after another, and often in more than one capacity. He was Town Clerk, Moderator, Justice, Assistant Judge of Probate, and Judge at the County Courts. One is led to wonder what New London would have done without him!! Miss Caulkins, the historian of that town, says, "No man in the country at that time stood higher in the point of talent and recognized integrity." Headstone Inscription: Here Lyeth The body of Capt.
