John Budd and Joseph Budd came to this country about the year 1632. On the records of London, is Joseph Budds name, aged 15, sailed for New England. They arrived at New Haven, and John Budd's name occurs on the records of New Haven in 1639 as one of the first planters of that place,(New Haven Col. Rec. vol. 1-7-425) He subsequently removed to Southold Lon Island, from whence he removed to Rye, westchester County, New York,in 1661, In 1663 John Budd was deputy from Rye, to the Generl Court of Connecticut. He was the first proprietor of Apawquamus, or Budd's Neck, purchased of the native Sachem Shamarocke and other Indians. This original conveyance is on the records of Westchester county, dated Nov. 8, 1661, and was so large a grant of land, that the other proprietors of Rye were jealous, and they petitioned the General Court assembled at Hartford, (Now Conn.) not to confirm; but John Bud's influence was such that he retained his purchase. He married Kathlene Brown, and left two sons, John Budd and Joseph Budd. His will dated 13th October, 1669, bequeaths to his son John, all his portion of the mills on Blind Brook, and to Joseph all of Budd's Neck. Hope this info helps! Kathy Davis
