[34] Though the name of John Ruggles was on the list of "goers" and a house lot was drawn for him, he did not settle in Woodstock. The family of Ruggles is prominent among the first settlers in Pomfret. [35] This Jonathan Peake was the father of Jonathan Peake, Jr., born in 1663, who came to Woodstock in April of 1687. [36] Lot 43 was given to Clement Corbin soon after the drawing of home lots. The inscription of his rude gravestone reads: "Here lies buried the body of Clement Corbin, aged 70, deceast August ye 1st, 1696." [37] The inscription on this small gravestone in the burying-ground on Woodstock Hill is read with difficulty and is as follows: "Here lies buried ye body of Lieu. Edward Morris, deceas'd September 14, 1689." Many of the first settlers now have no stones to mark their graves, and perhaps never had. [38] At that time twenty-four years old. [39] MSS. of Deacon Jedediah Morse, in the possession of Henry T. Child, of Woodstock. [40] Windsor was first called Dorchester and Hartford was first called Newtown. [41] Born in England, son of Henry Sewell of Rowley, Mass., and grandson of Henry Sewell, mayor of Coventry, England. In 1684, he became an Assistant.

John Richards. [45] Thomas Gilbert, D.D., of Oxford University, author of "Carmen Congratulatorum." Judge Sewell visited him in England, and was shown by Dr. Gilbert the Bodleian Library, "a very magnificent Thing." See Sewell papers: Fifth Series, Mass. Hist. Soc. Collection, vols, v., vi., vii. We may be allowed to suppose that Dr. Gilbert took Judge Sewell to Woodstock, only eight miles from Oxford University, where the latter perhaps was impressed for the first time with the name and historical associations of Woodstock. [46] Capt. Ruggles of Roxbury, who died Aug. 15, 1692, of whom Sewell says, in his Diary, Aug. 16th: "Capt. Ruggles also buried this day, died last night, but could not be kept."
