General Notes: Husband - Ens. Thomas Leffingwell


After marriage, the family moved to Norwich in 1660. Young Thomas was made a Freeman by the General Court at Hartford in 1671 and was a made Representative later. In 1700 his house, located near that of his father became the 'ordinary' of the town. At this period only the best of citizens were permitted to "enterteign" strangers. It was also one of the places where ammunition was stored for emergencies. At his death his estate was valued at £9793 9s 11d. Miss Caulkins in her "History of Norwich" says "It is doubtful whether any other estate in the town equalled this in value."
