  John Dumbleton was born abt 1625 in England, son of Jonathan Dumbleton and Mercy ______ who had ten children in toto. "John Dumbleton, Springfield, 1649, came in the serv of William Whiting of Hartford..." Savage Vol 2. p79. John Dumbleton was granted several parcels of land in Springfield. At that time Springfield lay on both sides of the Conn River and it appears Dumbleton was granted land mostly on the west side of the river though Chickepey was on the east side. *Springfield Pynchon 22 Jan 1651 4 acres16 Feb 1652 14 acres next to John Lambe at Chickepey (present Chicopee on the east side of the Conn River) 21 Nov 1654 3 acres of wet meadow on the other side of Paucatuck Brooke (about 5 km west of the Conn River) 19 Feb 1661 3 acres of the land between Agawam River and the 3rd division 01 Feb 1665 30 acres of upland and swamp at Paucatuck on the north side of Theo Miller's 11 Jan 1668 6 acres above the common fence on the west side of the River. John also served as a selectman for many years from 1655 through 1691 (with some interruptions). In 1654 he was appointed fence viewer for "ye upper end of town from the meeting house upwards" which would indicate his service was on the east side of the river. [1, 5]
