16. Samuel Dayton, born February 07, 1623/24 in Ashford, Kent County, England; died July 05, 1690 in Bellport, CT. He was the son of 32. Ralph Dayton and 33. Alice Goldhatch Tritton. He married 17. Medlin/ Madeleine/Madlin September 12, 1654 in Long Island, New York. 17. Medlin/ Madeleine/Madlin, born 1624; died 1664. Notes for Samuel Dayton: Or, did Samuel die at Brookhaven, Long Island, New York? There is some belief that Wilhemina and Medlen were probably same person - just an aka. "I am very curious about the Indian woman. In my records I have Samuel Dayton marrying three times: 1. date? Medlen (Madeline) 2. 14 May 1666 Mary Dingle 3. about 1669 Elizabeth (Harvey) Beardsley, widow of Tom Beardsley When was he supposed to have been married to Wilhelmina?? Perhaps he was! I am curious. Thanks." Roz says born in Long Island, New York " Occupation: Cordwainer. In 1645 Samuel was in New Haven with his father. He lived briefly in Flushing, LI, before he settled in Southampton, where, on 6 May 1648, the town "ordered that Samuel Dayton shall be accepted as an Inhabitant, & hath A fifty pound lot granted unto him provided the said Samuel (being a stranger to us) we are of good approbation in ye place where he last lived at Flushing, and do demeane himself well heare for ye time of approbation namely six months next to come." Several accounts of the early Daytons mention a fourth wife "Wilhemina," by tradition an Indian, but Jacobus could not find evidence for her." "On 12 Sep 1653, Samuel's wife, not named, was sued for slander by Thomas Vail for £40, and four days later a jury gave the plaintiff £3 damage with cost of Court." source: "Donald Lines Jacobus and Arthur Bliss Dayton, The Early Daytons and Descendants of Henry, Jr., New Haven Colony Historical Soc., 1858." Notes for Medlin/ Madeleine/Madlin: "or was she Medlen Harcre (Harker)?" * "Information from the Mormon Church computerized files is that Medlen was a Montauk Indian from Long Island. Samuel & his father Ralph were interpreters to the Indians. Medlen was also known as Wilhelmina, probably a Christian name bestowed on her by the Dutch settlers who were prevalent in the area in the 1630's. Samuel and Medlen had 10 children, one of whom drowned in long island Sound at about the age of 12. The Montauk tribe is now extinct". Roz says: she was a Montauk Indian from LI, born abt 1650. Maybe also called Wilhelmina. Marriage Notes for Samuel Dayton and Medlin/ Madeleine/Madlin: an alternate marriage date is about 1648.

20. Christopher Todd, born January 1616/17 in Pontrefact, Yorkshire, England; died April 23, 1686 in New Haven, CT. He was the son of 40. William Todd and 41. Katherine Ward. He married 21. Grace Middlebrook 1636 in New Haven, CT. 21. Grace Middlebrook, born Abt. 1620 in Hold Mills, Yorkshire, England; died April 23, 1686 in New Haven, CT. She was the daughter of 42. Michael Middlebrook. Notes for Christopher Todd: reference: "Parish Register of Pontrefact", Vol. 122, pg. 56 Christopher was in New Haven in 1644 and took the oath of fidelity there. In 1681 he was the miller. His will, dated 1656, notes his mill, bakehouse and lands; and the estate inventoried at 985 pounds. His name appears frequently in the division of land but he did not have much to do with public affairs. See: "The Todd Family in America or the Descendants of Christopher Todd 1637 - 1919", compiled by John Edwards Todd, D. D. and edited by George Iru Todd. Diana Thornton notes: "The first known instance of the name Todd, is noted in the Normandy region of France in the 10th century. It is believed that the family in England originated from there, arriving first in Scotland, the highland region. As this area was during that time under the rule of predecessors of William the Conqueror, it is possible they settled there at the same time. They appear in the Yorkshire area of England in the 11th century, abt. the time of William's arrival. The name means fox, or someone with the looks or characteristics attributed to a fox. Some forms include Tod, Todman, Todt, Todte, Todde, Todcastle, Todenham, Todlebru, Dodd, and, of course, Fox. There was a market gardener in Middlesex, brought before the magistrate for not having the words "taxed cart", his name or residence printed on his cart. He insisted that he had complied and had the judge inspect his cart which had inscribed: " A Most Odd Act on a Taxed Cart", Amost Todd, Acton, a Taxed Cart. John Todde was high sheriff of York in 1390, sir William in 1477 and was execher to the king and Lord mayor ten years later. He rebuilt the walls of the city with his own money after the war that had raged there. He was knighted by the king as well. Having no mail heirs, he passed his heritage on to his nephews, from whom our family of Todds descend. I don't know what his brother's name was. There were two inscriptions on the walls of York described by Leland: "Under a piece of indifferent sculpture of a senator in his robes and a woman kneeling by him. 'A. Dom. M. CCCC. L.XXXXVII. Sir William Tod mair jou-ates some tyme was schyriffe did this cost himself.' Near to this on a table under the city's arks, is "A Domini M. CCCC.L. XXXVII. Sir William Tod, KNight L. ... Mayre this wal was mayde in his dayes Lx yerds." One eminent Yorkshire Todd was Rev. Robert Todd, a dissenting minister of Leeds. During the great plague he "preached repeatedly and impressively on Heze- kiah's boil." There was another Sir William who was high sheriff under Charles I. In 1642 Thomas Todd was held in an inquisition into the death of Sir Richard Elleher, knt. He lived at Tranby Park and possessed the same arms as the Pontefract Todds. There are records of a Reginald Todd, freeman of York and assumed to be the father of William I of Pontefract.Some of the parish records for this family are: Sept. the 24 dai Wyll Todd and Isabell Rogerson were married June the 29 dai Wyll ye sone of Wyll Todd was baptized October the 18 dai John ye sone of Wyll Todd was baptized July the 22 dai John Warde and Isabell Bruster were married November ye 29 dai Katherine ye daughter of John Warde was baptized May the 22 dai Willm Todde and Katherine Ward were married 1614 October the 15 dai Mary the daughter of Wm Todde was baptized 1617 January the 12th day Xrofor the sone of Willn. Todde was baptized 1617 May the 8th day Willm Todd was buried. William II died in a duel less than four months after the birth of his son Christopher. What the duel was about or what occurred to his mother is not known. His sister and her husband and his wife's sister and her husband traveled to the colonies at the same time. It has been noted the William I died the same day as II, but it is not known at the present if this is the case or the records were confused. Christopher was married to Grace Middlebrook, dau. of Michael Middlebrook of Hold Mills (Actually thought to be Olds Mills, the mix-up attributed to the dialectic accent of the old woman who gave the information.) He was a man of substance as he was called Mr. which denoted a higher position. It was originally postulated by some who have little knowledge of the customs of the day that because Christopher Todd signed with his mark that he was of a lower class. This was not true in that day. Many raised in the upper classes, and his arms indicate this was the case, did not know how to read or write, they had others to do that for them and it was not considered necessary unless you were a younger son who would not stand to inherit and were going into the ministry, or being apprenticed out to a learn a trade or serve a person of the higher class, as was expected of younger sons in that day. Christopher sailed to the colonies in 1637 on the Hector with a group led by Theophilus Eaton and John Davenport. Only those who could contribute financially to the establishment of the colony was allowed to accompany this group, also they had to be married. Christopher and his wife were two of the youngest on the ship, most being in their forties. He was a miller, baker and farmer in the colony of New Haven which they helped to establish in 1638. When he died in 1686 his left a considerable estate, including a mill at the end of Mill Road, later the site of Whitney's gun factory. His will was considered a model for sense and wisdom. He was not active in public affairs except to serve on the general court and to be a viewer of fences, considered a position of high trust and only a few got the privilege. Other than that he kept a low profile (perhaps influenced by the factors around his father's death). He did not hold one of the more important seats in the meeting hall, but his wife did, so it appears this may have been more a matter of choice or because of his reluctance to be very actively involved. When he died his home passed to his son and remained in the family for abt. 100 years. He amassed quite a bit of property, some of which was donated to Yale College at it's creation. Many Todds have graduated from Yale. (Wouldn't they be appalled to see what it has become now.) The children of Christopher and Grace were: "John, b 2 Dec. 1642; m Sarah Gilbert, dau. of Matthew (one of the seven pillars of the church), then Sarah Blakeman, dau of James and Miriam. Samuel, b 20 Apr.1645; d Apr. 1714, m 26 Nov. 1668 Mary Bradley, dau. of William and Alice. He inherited the bakery and mill. Mercy, bpt 16 Sept. 1647, d 8 Apr. 1714; m John Bassett Grace, bpt 15 Dec. 1650. ; m 2 Mar. 1668-9 to Richard Mattock. He deserted her soon after the marriage, however. She was mentally unsound and her father had provided for her in his will as she could not care for herself. At age 13 she was called before the general court and sentenced to be whipped for improprieties of conduct. Michael, b 18 June 1653, d 1712; m Elizabeth Brown, dau. Eleazer and Sarah (Buckley) Brown. She married in 1715 Lt. Samuel Street, then Capt. John Merriman. Mary, b 18 Feb. 1655, d 1 May 1676; m 19 Aug. 1668 Isaac Turner, son of Capt. Nathanial Turner who died on the Phantom Ship and was the right arm of the colony.
Michael is the son from whom you descend. It can be assumed that he was a businessman, as his brother John inherited the farms. Michael's male heirs were also businessmen of some note. It was his oldest daughter, Elizabeth who married Isaac Dayton. She was born 12 Feb. 1690. This family became very large, with many persons of note who descended from it. In instance after instance, descendents are described as honest, honorable, upright, straightforward, etc. This is the family crest and arms. The motto, Opertet Vivere, means We Shall Persist, or persevere. The border is green, the foxes, the cap, the mantle are red, or fox color. The middle of the shield was described as silver, but is depicted in white, as silver faded too easily. the cap is upturned in ermine. The helmet is either that of an esquire or knight, it is hard to tell if it is grilled, this indicating a knight." Roz says born 1619. Christopher Todd. Born ca 1617 in York, England. Christopher was baptized in Pontefract, York on 11 Jan 1617. Christopher died on 23 Apr 1686. "His allotment was a third seat. He continually added to his real estate. In 1650 he bought 1 1/2 acres on Elm Street in the Aristocratic "London Quarter" known as the "Blue Meeting House Lot" and it remained in the family for 100 years. He was a bright level headed man without much education. His lot in the London Quarter was purchased from Jasper Crane. A part of this lot is where St. Thomas Church stands on Elm Street. He bought a grist mill called "Yodds Mill" for many years. It was on the site of Whitney's Gun Factory of Whitneyville, a northern suburb of New Haven, Conn."
