    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Fact: One of the first Settlers of Wethersfield, Connecticut

    Notes:

    Name:
    He is said to have come to New England about 1642; was made a freeman, May 10, 1643, in Weymouth, Mass. there is reason, however, for thinking that there were two John Hollisters in New England at the same time, one at Weymouth who afterwards returned to England, and the other at Wethersfield. In June, 1644, was a member of the jury at Hartford, from Wethers, Conn. he was a deputy fourteen ties from 1644 to 1658, and had the title of Mr. when he first came to Conn., but after 1657, was styled Lieut. Hollister. In 1656, he became involved in a church quarrel with the Rev. John Russell, of Wethersfield, who excommunicated him that year, and refused to give any reason for his act. Hollister and his friends petitioned the Court, Aug. 17, 1658, for an order compelling Mr. Russell to give his reasons. this petition was granted. As near as we can judge from the scant records which have come down to us, Mr. Hollister had accused Mr. Russell of having given false testimony in a certain case which was probably true, through perhaps, not intentional. the result of the quarrel was that Mr. Russell and his friends moved to Hadley, under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, in 1659.
