    Notes:

    Name:
    They settled on Plain Hills, in the north part of Norwich. He was a farmer, and his record was that of an enterprising business man, and a good citizen. In religion he was an earnest and zealous disciple, searcely satisfied with what he looked upon as too rigid and formal, the modes adopted in the established Congregational Church, with which he united in 1732 - his wife having been a member from 1717. After her death, which occurred April 20, 1730, he married (2) August 5, 1731, Mary Kelly, who, the same year united with the First Church of Norwich. It was during her lifetime that the great outbreak occurred from the Separatists, and both she and her husband were among the leaders in that disturbing movement. Both of them were warned to appear before the church, August 25, 1745, and answer for their presumption in joining with others to 'set up' a separate meeting. Mr. Lothrop assigned five reasons for his separation, viz: 1. "The minister (Rev. Dr. Lord), denying the power of godliness, through not in word, yet in practice. 2. Insisting on imprudences, and not speaking up for that which is good. 3. Not praying for their meeting (the Separatist) and not giving thanks for the late glorious work (that which attended the preaching of Mr. Whitfield). 4. Not a friend to lowly preaching and preachers, particularly not letting Mr. Jewett preach once, and once forbidding Mr. Crosswell. (These were both separate and revival preachers, and therefore obnoxious to the standing order). 5. Not having the sacrament for six months in the most glorious part of the late times; and often enough since the church is in difficulty, and oftener now than ever."

    Mrs. Lothrop assigned these reasons for her withdrawal: 1. "As to communion in the church at the sacrament, I did not commune because I was in the dark, and thought I was not fit. 2. Another reason, because I was not edified. 3. Because the power of godliness, it seems to me is denied here, and is elsewhere. 4 By covenant I am not held here any longer than I am edified."

    Mrs. Lothrop died in Norwich, April 19, 1760, and he married (3) May 20, 1761, Phebe French. He died Set. 27, 1778, as his gravestone, still standing quite by itself on the south side of the old part of the Norwich Town cemetery, testifies. His will, dated Oct. 25, 1771, names as legatees, his wife Phebe; son Andrew, grand daughter Sarah, only surviving child of son Ezra; Jeremiah, Eunice, and William, children of son Jeremiah,, deceased; son Ebenezer; son Jonathan; son of John, and son Zachariah.
