| 4. | Rev Roger NEWTON died on 7 Jun 1683 in Milford, Connecticut. Notes:
Name:
Rev. Roger Newton, who was a student of theology with her father, son of Samuel Newton. He was the first minister at Farmington, Conn., where he was installed on the day that the church was formed, Oct., 1652, he having preached there some time before. He remained there five years when he was dismissed and prepared to return to England. It was always been supposed that he did go to England and after remaining some time he returned to new England and settled in Milford, Conn. Later researches however, have led the searchers to believe that after he had prepared to go the ship left without him, and that he remained in New England until he was called to Milford. He was installed at Millford, Conn., Aug. 22, 1660, and remained over the church until his death.
Roger married Mary HOOKER in 1644. Mary (daughter of Rev Thomas HOOKER and Unknown ?) died on 4 Feb 1675 in Milford, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Name:
Rev. Thomas Hooker, son of Thomas Hooker, born in England, about 1586, he entered Emanuel College, Cambridge in 1604. he received the degree of B.A. in 1608, the degree of M.A. in 1611, and entering upon a divinity course, he was elected a Fellow of the College. He left the College before completing the first course and receiving the degree of B.D. There are many reasons for supposing that he went from the college direct to Chelmsford and remained there until being silenced, arrested and placed under bonds to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court; he fled to Holland. Came to new England on ship "Griffin" 1633.
The name of his first wife is unknown and nothing of the parentage of his second wife, whose name was Susanna.
His second wife survived him, and though nothing is positively known about her, there are many reasons for believing that in later years she became the wife of Elder William Goodwin and died at Farmington, Conn.
Thomas married Unknown ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
