Notes:

Excerpt from "Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines":
The parents of Joseph Loomis, of New England, were probably John and Agnes Loomis, of Braintree, co. Essex, England. If so, he was their only son and the executor of the father's will in May and June, 1619.......
They remained in England until the spring of 1638 when, on april 11, with their eight children, they embarked at Maldon (the nearest seaport to Braintree) on the "Susan and Ellen" on which their goods also came and arrived in Boston on July 17, following. It is theorized that they spent their first year in this country at Dorchester though proof of that opinion has not yet been found, but in the summer and fall of 1639 the family removed overland to Windsor, Connecticut, probably in the company with the Reverend Ephraim Huet who arried there August 17, 1639.......
Joseph served on a jury on March 2, 1642, and on another in company with NATHANIEL FOOTE in September 1644. On January 6, 1650, he was sued by William Buell for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him...

Name:
"The Hull Family in America": Joseph Loomis, the father-in-law of Lieut. Josiah Hull, before coming to New England, was a woolen draper of Brintree essex County, England, and was married in said county, June 30, 1614, to Mary White, daughter of Robert White and his wife Bridget Alger. He came to America in the ship "Susan and Ellen", leaving England April 1, 1638.....

He was a woolen draper in Braintree, co Essex, Engl., and came in the ship "Susan and ellen," leaving London, april 11, 1638 and arriving at Boston, July 17, 163, as is proved by the deposition of Joseph Hills of Charlestown. (N.E. Reg., 30, p. 459.) He brought with him his sons, Joseph, John, Thomas, Samuel and Nathaniel, and daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, and another who m. Nicholas Olmstead. He is supposed to have come to Windsor, Conn. in company with rev. Ephraim Huit, who arrived there Au. 17, 1639. Feb 2, 1640, he was granted twenty-one acres of land adjoining the Farmington river, and his house was on what was known as the "the Island" because at every freshet it became temporarily an island. Stiles says "This Ancestral Home" has been in perpetual possession of his descendants coming down in an unbroken regular succession to Epaphras Loomis,who sold it to Rev. George Loomis, who in turn sold it to John Mason Loomis. He served twice on the jury of the Particular Court, March 2, 1642/3 and September, 1644.

Joseph married Mary WHITE on 30 Jun 1614 in Messing, Essex, England. Mary (daughter of Robert WHITE and Bridget ALLGAR) was born in 1590 in Shalford, England; was christened on 24 Aug 1590; died on 23 Aug 1652 in Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
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.

Thomas married Ann ? before 1635. Ann died about 1678 in Farmington, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
