Research Log - New London County, Connecticut

There are a couple places where many of our families meet and stay for more than a generation.  New London County Connecticut is one of these places.  More specifically the towns of New London, Norwich and Lebanon.  Dates are approximate times when person lived in the named town

New London - settled 1646, named 1658 is located at the mouth of the Thames River on Long Island Sound and has an excellent harbor. 

"The Indian name of New London," says Trumbull, "was Nameaug, alias Towawog." The first was undoubtedly the prevalent name: it was used, with many variations in the spelling, to designate both the site of the town and the natives found upon it. The Indian names are all descriptive, and this is supposed to mean a fishing place, being compounded of Namas, fish, and eag, aug, eak, terminations which signify land. 

The other name, Tawaw-wog, is not often found on record: it occurs however, as an alias, in several deeds, about the date of 1654. It is probable that this also has a reference to fish; and may be derived from Tataug or Tatau-og, black-fish, for which the neighboring waters are still renowned.

William Janes

Born: 1692 Northampton
Died:  after July 1752, Brimfield, MA

Buried: probably in Brimfield Cemetery, many of his descendants are buried there.

Married: Abigail Loomis, June 5, 1712 in Brimfield, MA

William Janes was the prominent son and leading member of the family of Abel Janes.  He raised up a large and honored family of sons and daughters.  He was the favorite son of the family, and was at home with father and mother till some time after the death of his father, Abel (1718), and in time moved with all, or nearly all his family, from his native place, Lebanon, Conn., to land he purchased for himself and sons in Brimfield, Mass.  From records of the town of Brimfield, its settlement was commenced in 1717, and William Janes, grandson of the first William, the emigrant, was among the first, or nearly so, in purchasing and preparing for the future abode in his family.  He might have removed there with his young family as soon as a part of his five hundred acre purchase was cleared and partially improved, and convenient buildings erected for their occupancy.  The dates are not at hand to determine the point.  But his oldest son was not born till 1713, and his youngest son was born in 1734.  Their births are all recorded in Lebanon, and his mother, Mary, died in Lebanon 1736.  The distance being about forty miles from Lebanon to Brimfield, no doubt a part of the family remained till after the death of their grandmother, Mary, and perhaps all of them spent their winters there till Brimfield could be made to seem to them a real home.  His oldest, Jonathan, married Irene Bradford, granddaughter of Governor Bradford.

Quest. How do you prove this in the second place that the seventh day since Christ's Resurrection ought not to be kept for a Sabbath?

Answ. Because to keep the seventh day of the week was the doctrine of false Teachers, and is contrary to the doctrine and practice of the Apostles of Christ, who did advance the first day of the week above any other day.

In the Gal. 4.10 the Apostle reproved the false Teachers for teaching the Galatians to observe dayes, Moneths, and years, according to the Law of Moses, by dayes is meant that which is less then Moneths, and therefore to be understood of weekly Sabbaths, and yet not of the Christian Sabbath; for those Teachers stood for that which is according to Moses his Ministry, and in Col. 2.16 the Apostle condemns holy dayes, new Moons, and Sabbaths.  Holy dayes are mentioned as greater then new Moons, and therefore are meant of Annual Sabbatical dayes, and Sabbath dayes as less then new Moons, and therefore to be understood of the weekly Sabbaths the Jews kept. 

And that the Apostles did advance the first day of the week to be the Christian Sabbath, will appear in the next place.

Quest. What is Observance? 

Answ. Observance is the second part of Religion, and stands in performance of duty to God, by obeying his Law, which is a Platform of acting for God, and he hath made it known to us for that end.

1. Observance is a second part of Religion.

1. It is a part of Religion, without which Religion is vain.
2. And a second part performed by Faith, Gal. 2.19,20.

2. It stands in performance of duty to God, as God is our Creator, Redeemer, and Comforter, Math. 28.20. 
3. This performance of duty is by obeying his Law, Mic. 6.8.
4. This Law of God is the Platform of well acting, and acting for God, Psal. 19.7, Psal. 118.15.
5. Hence made known for this end.

1. The first Edition of this was in the heart of man at first, a fair inscription of it upon man at first, he being made according to the Image of God in holiness and righteousness, Gen. 1.26, Eccles. 7.29.
2. Some reliques of it in fallen man, so much as may testifie that man was made to be Religious, Rom. 2.14,15, hence Consolence witnessing in respect of God, and a Judge in respect of man.
3. The Law was renewed to the Church of the Jews by a lively voice, Exod. 20 and becomes useful.

Notebook - Pilgrims

Aerial View of Plymouth Colony

Bangs, Jeremy. "1614 - The First Published Reference to the Pilgrims in Leiden," New England Ancestors, Summer 2005.

"Another published reference to the Pilgrims during their Leiden period, and the earliest to appear, is found in the first history of the city of Leiden - Jan Jansz Orlers' Description of the City of Leyden, a 1614 joint effort by three Leiden publishers, Henrick Haestens, Jan Orlers, and Jan Maire."

The book includes a fairly extensive description of the poor and indigent in the city supported by the Welfare Masters who distributed fuel to everyone without any distinction. 

"In Plymouth Colony, the Pilgrims established similar civic systems for providing at common cost for the support of widows, orphans and the poor, as they perceived themselves commanded to do by biblical precept."

"Orlers' description of the English as divided into two congregation indicates his awareness of both the English Reformed Chruch (Puritans) established in 1607, and the Pilgrim congregation of John Robinson and Deacon William Brewster.  Brewster lived just around the corner from Orlers, who had moved to the Pieterskerk Koorsteeg in 1697.  They became friends, so much so that Orlers took some of the books Brewster published, along with his own, when he went to the international book fair at Frankfurt in 1617.  Very well connected, Orlers was a nephew of Leiden's city secretary, Jan van hout, who had ensured that the Pilgrims received permission to come there.  Orlers was in a position to help Brewster escape when the English demanded the suppression of the Pilgrim's publishing activities and attempted to have Brewster arrested."

Quest. What is glorification?

Answ. Glorification stands in the blessed vision and enjoyment of God himself, and all things appertaining to a blessed life, of the  beginnings of which a believer partaketh in this life, and the perfection of it when the Soul is departed out of the body, and ascended into Heaven, and Soul and body shall be reunited and glorified together at the last day.

In glorification we may consider, 1. The Essence of it, 2. The complement. 

1. The Essence of it stands in blessed visions and enjoyment of God himself, Psal. 73.25, Psal. 27.4, Psal. 116.7.

2. The complement of it, all good things belong to a blessed life, Psal. 84.11. it is called glorification, as it maketh believers glorious, Rom. 8.30.

The degrees of this Inchoation and Perfection. 
1. Inchoation, here some beginnings of it,  

1. in direct actings upon God, seeing him as in the glass of his word and Ordinances, I Co. 13.12.  
2. Reflect acts, a believer hath discerning what God hath done for him in working in him repentance and faith; hence an Assurance, that he was elected, and that he was to be forever happy, hence Joy, Rom. 6. 3, 4, 5.
