• Name	William WALWORTH  [1, 2, 3]
  	William of Noank, the eldest son of William, of Fisher's Island, was a farmer and a large land owner. That part of the property which fell to the share of William, lay mostly in Noank and Noank Neck. It included also parcels of farm and woodland on Fort Hill, especially on the south and east sides, and reaching northerly until it touched the grounds of his father's great farm on the heights. William also had large possessions in Bozrah and Lebanon and, in the course of thirteen years, from 1720 to 1733, no less than thirty deeds recorded in the Town Clerk's office show William as a party in the sale of land. He had money in abundance which he spent freely in purchasing more land. William is reported to have moved to Bozrah, Connecticut, about 1744, where he afterward lived and died. [1] He was a farmer and large landowner and had large possessions in Bozrah and Lebanon. William had a will dated 30 Nov 1773, with a codicil dated 2 Dec 1773, that was proved 14 June 1774 at Stonington. William's surname is sometimes called Walsworth. William Walworth claimed to be descended from Sir William Walworth, who was Lord mayor of London at the time of the rebellion of Wat Hilliard, in the reign of Richard II. Sir William died in 1383 and was buried in the Church of St. Michael, Crooked Lane, London. His father came to the new London Colony at the instance of Major General John Winthrop commanding the forces of the colony, who afterwards became its governor. [2]
