Notes:

Excerpt from "Calkins family (66)" by Pane-Joyce Genealogy @babbage.clarku.edu:

"Hugh Calkins was a radical, in religion a non-conformist, and living in the troublous times of Charles, the First, soon became satisfied that there were safer countries than England and Wales-for men who wished to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. Accordingly, he with his wife, Ann, and John, their son, then four years old, joined a body of emigrants called the "Welch Conspany", and with their pastor, Rev. Richard Blinman, embarked and came to American, about 1638 or 1640. They settled first at Green's Harbor (now Marshfield) in New Plymouth colony, but religious distentions arising, Mr. Blinman, Hugh Calkins and others removed to Gloucester. Hugh Calkins became one of the first board of selectmen, and in 1650 was chosen deputy to the general court of that year to Connecticut colony, some say to Saybrook, but he could not have remained there long, as he was soon in New London. The Connecticut colonial records show that Hugh Calkins was deputy at the general court from New London, May 20, 1652. In all, he served twelve times as deputy from New London. By order of the general court, held October 3, 1654, Hugh and another were appointed a deputy magistrate. In 1660 he again changed his residence to the place where the city of Norwich now stands, then a wilderness and owned by the Mohegan Indians. Just previously a treaty had been concluded, by and between the celebrated major Mason and others with the Mohegan chiefs, by which a sterling. Hugh and his son, John, were of the thirty-five original proprietors. Hugh appears in the colonial records as a deputy from Norwich to the general court, ten times. He was a active worker there in all measures for the public good; and also at home constantly identified with public interests. He was a deacon in the first church built in Norwich.

Freeman 27 Dec. 1642 in Gloucester, selectman 1643-48, rep. 1650-52. In New London, selectman, rep., and town clerk.

Hugh married Ann ESTON in 1627 in England. Ann was born in 1605 in Chepstow, Monmouth, England; died in Jun 1688 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Norwich, Old Cemetery, New London, Co., Ct. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
