Loomis, Joseph, sen'r. Windsor, 1639. From history, tradition and records, it appears, and is believed by the Loomis family, that Joseph Loomis and his family were the only persons of the name who came to Windsor in the early settlement of the town, (as early as 1639)—that he with his family, consisting of himself, wife, five sons and one daughter, emigrated from, at, or near Bristol in England, to New England, in the ship Mary and John, Captain Squid, master [funny name] , which sailed from Plymouth, England, March 20, 1630, and arrived at Nantasket Point, May 30th the same year. From thence with the Rev. John Warham's church and people, in '36, he emigrated to Windsor, (or with Mr. Hewit in '39.) From all that is known it is quite certain that all the Loomises in this part of the country have originated from this family. The names of the five sons are as follows, viz. John, Joseph, Thomas, Nathaniel and Samuel, and daughter, Elizabeth. They all settled in the town of Windsor, and there remained until after Philip's war. Timothy, (in No. 2,) was recorder at a much later period than '39. [Dr. McClure was mistaken as to Timothy's coming to Windsor in '39, with Mr. Huit.] He died in Windsor in 1658—his wife died in '52. Joseph, jr., son of Joseph, sen'r., of Windsor, died in '87. Estate £281. His children were, Joseph, 38 years old, John 36, Mary 34, Hannah 25, Matthew 23, Stephen 20, James 17, Nathaniel 14, and Isaac 9, at his decease. John Loomis was an appraiser of his estate, with H. Wolcott and John Wolcott—perhaps at that time an appraiser could be a relative. John, of Windsor, married Elizabeth Scott, and had John, born in '49, Joseph, Thomas, Samuel, Daniel, James, Timothy, Nathaniel, David, Samuel, Isaac, Elizabeth and Mary. Thomas, married Hannah Fox in '53, and had Thomas, (died) Thomas, Hannah, and Mary. His wife died. He then married a second wife, and had Elizabeth, Ruth, Sarah, Jeremiah, (died) Mabel, Mindwell, &c. Nathaniel, married Elizabeth Moore, and had 12 children. Samuel, married and had 5 children. John, of Windsor, had a grand daughter, Anna Loomis, daughter of Joseph, born in '78. Lynde, Nathaniel, was an early settler of Saybrook—his son, Samuel, was a native of the town. Nathaniel, gave the first building for a College at Saybrook. His son, Samuel, was many years a member of the Council and a Judge in Connecticut.
