Notes:

Name:

Wilmot Spofford Ames states that John Ames of New London was born at Woburn, Middlesex County, Massachusetts to Robert and Elizabeth Ames on the above date. Frances Manwaring Caulkins states in her HISTORY OF NEW LONDON that John was from Massachusetts, and mentions (specultively) that he is of the "Andover" family. However, Genealogist John M. Raymond deals with John's origins exhaustively in his article "The Ancestors of John and Robert Ames of Wethersfield, Connecticut."

In his paper, Raymond states definitively that John Ames who arrived in New London in 1696 was of the Woburn Family of Robert and Elizabeth, and is the John mentioned by Caulkins in her HISTORY as arriving in New London County in 1696. He further affirms that John, being mentioned in Robert of Woburn's will, and in Ames Family Histories and Genealogies, is without doubt the John of the Woburn Family.

John Ames married Abigail Rose Morgan at Groton, New London 1 Feb 1698. They had 5 children (known) before Abigail's death 25 Feb 1713. Their first child was John, Jr., born 14 Aug 1701. John, Sr. remarried Paltiah Stebbins on 20 Jul 2013, and they had 3 children.
