JOHN1 STILES.(*)
John1 Stiles, the second son of the Millbroke Family, was baptized in St.
Michael's Church, Milbroke, Bedfordshire, England, the 25th of December,
1595, (see page 17): married Rachel (???).(+) and was forty years of age when
he came to Windsor, Conn.
He had a home lot, next south of that of his brothers Francis, twelve rods
wide, along the east side of the highway. In 1663, this was in possession of
his eldest son Henry, who resided thereon until 1673, when he exchanged
places with John (son of William) Gaylord. In 1660, John Stiles, Jr., had
from his father, twelve acres wide, of the north side of Henry's lot, next
the ferry road, [Bissell's Ferry Road], which he sold, in 1653, to Nathaniel
Bissell, "that I, John Stiles, formerly lived upon."
In the seating of the Meeting-house, at Windsor, in 1659-60, among those who
"have paid and and were placed in the long seats when they paid," were "John
Stiles, Senr.," and his wife,?? as is evidenced by the 6s. set opposite his
name, that being the price for a man and wife.
John Stiles died at Windsor, Conn., June 4, 1662-3, aged 67. His widow died
Sept. 3, 1674. In regard to her see also page 16 ante, and Mathew Grant's Old
Church Record.**

(*) We take the same view of the order of Generation that President Stiles
did, in his MSS. wherein he says: "Altho John Stiles II. (b. 1633) be the
Ancestor of the Subsequent Collections yet I consider John Stiles I. born
1595 as truely the first Ancestor who came to America. I mean New England."
(+) The mention of her name in his will. corrects Savage's supposition (N.
E., Geneal. Dict.
iv., 194). that it was the "Joan. aged 35." of the Passenger List given on
page 26?? Stiles' Hist. Apeient Windsor, pp. 149-150.

FAMILY 2.
6. Sergeant Henry2 Stiles, [2] (John,1) was born in England, about 1629;(*)
resided at Windsor, Conn., and was twice married, (1) to Mrs. (???) Ketch, of
Stratford, Conn., about 1658; (2) to Elizabeth (dau. of William) Wilcoxson,
of Stratford,(+) April 16, 1663. His rateable estate, in 1716, was œ79 2s.
6d., "north of the [Farmington] rivulet;" on this list he is called
"Sergeant."
He was one of those who occupied the "short seats" of the Windsor Meeting
House, in January, 1659-60.?? As these seats were rated at 3s. a person, and
7s. for a man and wife, and as he had a 3s. seat, it was evident that his
first wife, whom he had married in 1658, was then dead.
He is also thus mentioned in the records of the Quarter Court, at Hartford,
Dec. 1, 1664: "Hanna Bancroft pl. contra Henry Stiles deft. In an action of
defamation to the damage of Twenty-five pounds, the plt. appeareth not."
July 3, 1667, during some Indian troubles up the Connecticut Valley, we find
his name among "those of the dragoons that have received pouches of Thomas
Dibble, which he got made and is to be paid by the town--Henry Stiles,
one."**
In Sept., 1696, "Corporal" Stiles, as he was then called, and John Hosford
were the master workmen employed in the building of a residence for the Rev.
Timothy Edwards, at "Windsor Farmes," now East Windsor. In this work he was
assisted by his son Joseph (afterwards "Lieut.") then a young man of some 20
years.(+)(+) From this we infer that both father and son followed the family
calling of carpenters and builders.

living, '. 75, who in
1762 shewed me a Memoir he had made of his Father's death, May 22, 1724, aged
(95) Ninety-five years, hence he must have been born in England, 1629, about
five years before his removal
to New Englant." (Pers. Stiles' MSS., 176??).
