Notes

Anthony and Molly Needham are said to have gone to Brimfield about 1722, and are said to have been in 1726 the first white settlers of South Brimfield...the name of which was changed in 1828 to Wales in honor of James Lawrence Wales. Absalom Gardner's Compendium of Wales, 1873, p 3224 says "Anthony Needham was one of that band of adventurous pioneers who first made lodgment with a view to permanent settlement in this Town about 1726. He fixed his abode upon what we now call the Orcutt Place...There he lived, there he died". - NEHGR
