Some discussion on whether this is the father of John Pelton. Some say h is parents are Charles Pelton/Elizabeth Batchelar of Essex England.(Accord ing to Ancestry World Tree).

came to Boston about 1630 to 1633, as his name and a description of his property appears in the "Book of Possessions," the oldest land record of Boston, made
by order of The General Court in 1634. The record
therein on page 91 runs thus : "Mr. Owen Roe his possession in the limits of Boston. One house and
garden bounded with the streete "north ; the lane west;
the Cove south ; and John Pelton east. John Pelton's possession in Boston. One house and household lot bounded with Owen Roe west ; the streete north; the Cove south ; and the marsh on the east." These lands were Lots 104 to 108, on the south side of Essex St., from Washington St., easterly. See Map F. or No. 6, page 74 where Owen Rowe, (as here spelled,) has lot 107 and John Pelton 108. Soon after, in 1635, probably, he removed to Dorchester, then a few miles out of Boston peninsula, now a part of that city, and which had been settled in the same year but a few months earlier. In 1635 or 1636, he became by grant or purchase a joint owner of the Dorchester Patent, and received his share, as also did his heirs in its many divisions. He was also one of the forty-seven owners of the " Great Lots." (See Clapp's History of Dorchester.) That he was admitted among the very select company at Dorchester, is sufficient proof that his character and religious opinions were considered correct. In Dorchester he lived by the side of the Glovers and others of the best families, as this extract from the *' Glover Memorial " shows. " On Dec. 25, 1700, Nathaniel Glover, Sen. and his wife Hannah, conveyed to their son, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., in Dorchester, several parcels of land, among them his house-lot of fifteen acres, being butted and bounded
on the Easterly end upon the Sea or Saltwater, on the Northerly side by land of widow Pelton and Joseph
Hall, on the Westerly end upon the Highway leading
to Tileston's Mills, standing upon Neponsett River,
and on the Southerly side by land of Mrs. Brick
(Breek)."
The time and place of his marriage and the maiden name of his wife, are unknown ; we learning only
from his will that her Christian name was Susanna. They were probably married about 1643, a date that strengthens the opinion (See Introduction, p. 19) that he came to Boston when young, and received his allotment of land there as an "able youth." His occupation and history are unknown, excepting that from his will we learn that he was engaged in the fisheries, then, as now, a valuable business. He died in Dorchester, January 23, 1681. His will dated January 3, 1681, twenty days before his death, proved March 16, following, mentions his wife Susanna, his sons John, Samuel, and Robert the youngest, and his daughter Mary. His widow probably lived until May

[garygarbe60.ged]

J. M. Pelton states on pages 34-37 of The Pelton Book,
"Our knowledge of his life is unfortunately, very meager. It is, howeve r, known from the land records of Suffolk County, Boston, Suffolk Count y, Mass., that he lived for some time on Long Island, NY, then called Nass au, where he and his wife, Sarah, signed a deed of certain parcels of la nd in Suffolk, County, Mass, May 24, 1714. Nothing is known of the pla ce or time of his death, which last was probably at middle age. It is sa id that he lived in or near Huntington, L.I., which is probable, his young est
brother, Benjamin, having bought a house and land there, in 1723.
The maiden name of his wife, tradition says, was Whiting, which is also pr obable, as
relatives of that name, it is known, visited her descendants in Connecticu t.
Diligent search among the defective town records of Long Island has brough t
no knowledge on these points or as to the death of his wife Sarah. As Samu el
was probably married by 1700, or soon after, it is more than probable he h ad
several children before the birth of Robert. This opinion is confirm ed by 'An
account of money laid out for provisions for my Aunt Mary Pelton,' running
for some length of time, and found on the last page of an account bo ok of his
grandson, Samuel, now in possession of William H. Pelton, of Warwick, N.Y.
now 1892, living in Passaic, NJ. Robert's son, Samuel Pelton with son
Richard, and probably his two daughters, Hannah and Rebecca, as well as hi s
father, Robert, and brother Richard, and, perhaps, a sister or two of Robe rt,
lie buried in the 'Pelton burying-ground,' on the homestead in Darien now
owned by John V. Hecker, of New York city and Darien. It contains a costly
family vault built by Mr. John T. Hecker, deceased. From an account-book o f
Samuel Pelton, owned by his grandson, Henry Pelton, now 1892, of Passai c, NJ
and from the cover of a 'Sum-book,' used by his grandson, Henry Pelton, no w
owned by Samuel Pelton, of Warwick, Orange County, NY, many of these name s, facts and dates have been obtained. Not a person bearing the name of Pe lton now lives in Darien, Conn., neither a person of the name who was bo rn there."

Henry was a Farmer and a Merchant. According to the Bristol, MA (now R I) Town Record, Henry was born 10 Dec 1690 on the "Mount Hope Farm". He re moved to Groton, CT, where he married, Mary Rose, and where he lived, a nd there died, in 1763, day and month unknown, His occupation is not cert ainly known, but tradition says he was a Merchant. However this may ha ve been he certainly was a farmer, owning considerable land down to 176 0, and was an active business man through life, and much respected in t he community in which he lived. The Lan Records of Groton show twelve con veyances of land to him and six from him, his first purchase having been f rom his brother John, who is given in the record as then a resident of Gro ton.
