General Notes: Husband - William Redfin


He was probably an early immigrant from England into Massachusetts. By 1639 he occupied a house and four acres of land on the south side of the Charles river, about six miles from Boston. He sold this place in September, 1646, and from that time his name disappears from the Massachusetts records. With some of his neighbors he probably joined the stream of migration to Pequot, later New London, Connecticut. The first certain evidence of his presence there is on May 29, 1654, at which time he had already built a house. The change of name to Redfield seems to have begun at New London, about the time of his death.
