John Brockett (1610)

John Brockett the first person of the name of Brockett of whom any
record can be found in this country, was born in England in 1609 and
emigrated to America in 1637, probably in the ship Hector, with Rev. John
Davenport and Theophilus Eaton, which ship arrived in Boston June 26, 1637.
Shortly after the arrival of the Hector in Boston, Eaton and a few
others unwilling to join the Massachusetts Colony, explored the coast along
Long Island Sound, selecting a tract of land near the Quinipiac River, the
present site of the City of New Haven, on which they left seven of their
number to hold it for the winter.
In the spring of 1638, Davenport with others, among whom was John
Brockett followed. They purchased the lands at Quinipiac of the Indians,
and "taking the Bible for their guide," formed an independent government or
"Plantation Covenant" upon strictly religious principles.
In one of the CN religious papers pub. in 1868, is found the
following. "John Brockett, the eldest son of Sir John Brockett, of the
county of Herts., Eng. who was a well known loyalist of the time of Charles
I, becoming convinced of the truth of the Gospel as preached by the
Puritans, relinquished his birthright and all his prospects of honor and
fame, joined himself to the little company of Rev. John Davenport,
emigrated to New England and settled at New Haven in 1637. Of him, as of
Moses, it could be said that he preferred to suffer affliction with the
people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of Sin for a season."
From June, 1675, to June, 1676, the bloody war against the Conn.
Troops called "King Philip's War" raged. (Note: It drug on for 3 yrs. and
1,000 Colonists were killed and 12 towns completely destroyed.) During
this war John Brockett was under appointment as Surgeon.
In the autumn of 1669 John Brockett with about one hundred persons
from New Haven removed to a location now known as Wallingford. These
settlers appointed "John Brockett, John Moss, Abraham Dolittle and Samuel
Street to manage all plantation affairs in ye said village."
