Now a different fella who was also on the same ship as Rev. Peter Buckeley the Puritan, was Matthias Hitchcock, age 25.
While Buckeley went to found Concord MA, Mattias Hitchcock was one of the signers of the “Fundamental Agreement” forming rules for New Haven, CT (Quinipiac) in 1639.*
Favorite bit is:
“Mathias had a brother Edward. Mathias and Edward were both fined in 1643 for coming late to training. In the same year Mathias was also fined for disorder in his watch.”
So he was often late and rowdy.
He fed into the Rogers side, Rev Buckeley the Norton side from the same 1635 ship ending up as father and the mother of Jesse Norton Rogers (b 1848), who left Branford, New Haven CT for Pleasantville, Atlantic City, NJ at some point, getting married and dying there, eventually.
* ‘The “Fundamental Agreement” was a self-government document adopted by the colonists of New Haven on June 4, 1639. The agreement established a “Court” composed of sixteen burgesses to appoint magistrates, officials and conduct the business of the colony. The agreement was signed by sixty-three individuals for the regulation of civil and religious affairs of Quinipiac (New Haven, Ct.)’
