• Notes

  Jeremiah Diggins was living in Hartford, Conn as early as Apr. 18, 1677 on which date he brought action vs. Thomas Cadwell for detaining land appointed to his wife Mary by executors under the will of Edward Stebbins. On Mar 11, 1678-9 he sold one-third part of seven acres of land given by Dea. Edward Stebbins and his wife Frances to the three children of Thomas Cadwell. This was apparently an exchange for land at Podunk in Windsor where he was living as early as April 1681. In the will of Robert Morris of Hartford dated Nov 9, 1684, bequests are made to Jeremy Diggins and his three children, Mary, Jeremy (Dinkins) Jr, and Elizabeth. His name appears frequently in Windsor deeds until 1730 when he conveyed land "unto my obedient grandson Jeremiah Diggons the third of Windsor. [1, 2]
