Capt. Luke W. Hitchcock, Sr

He was not an "immigrant" he was a COLONIST.

Colonists transfer their culture to a new region, while immigrants assimilate into an existing culture. The English who came to America have always been called COLONISTS and never immigrants.

The Puritan Great Migration. Luke Hitchcock Immigrant migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640). Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: PGM Contents [show] Disputed Origins Following PGM guidelines, he is being detached from unproven parents John Hiscockes and Mary Franklin.

There is also no source that he was son of Luke Hitchcock and Mary Franklin.

Some (IGI) say he was christened 17 Mar 1610/11 Melksham, Wiltshire, England (citation needed; this is three years before his supposed parents' marriage and is in a wholly different part of England than claimed parents).

Others say he was probably born in Fenny, Crompton, Warwich, England.[1] This might be because his wife's supposed family was from that area.

H.G. Cleveland, in 1884, suggested that Luke was probably the brother to Matthias Hitchcock, New Haven, Ct., 1639.[2] Jacobus agreed with him, taking it further and adding a brother Edward Hitchcock:

"Edward and Matthias Hitchcock [took] the [freeman's] oath at the same time [as Luke]. Edward was married by 1638, Matthias perhaps as early, and Luke within four years later. Matthias at least was an original settler, for he signed the fundamental agreement at New Haven, 4 June 1639. It is a reasonable assumption that the three were brothers. At Edward's death, Matthias testified regarding his testamentary wishes, and Matthias and Luke bore the names of two gospel writers. But while Matthias and Edward remained in New Haven until death, Luke shortly removed to Wethersfield."[3] But Anderson (2001) disagreed with Jacobus about Luke as a brother of these two.[4]

Biography Luke Hitchcock[5][6][7] took the freeman's oath in New Haven, Connecticut 1 July 1644.

Soon after removed to Wethersfield, CT.

He served on juries of the Connecticut Court 5 June 1646 and 2 Mar 1647/8.

He was Selectman of Wethersfield in 1653 and 1656.

While the 1884 genealogy states he was a captain at Crown Point in 1645, that's a century off. No record of military service has been found.

In his last year of life, he signed an agreement to remove to Hadley, Massachusetts.

His will was dated 17 Oct 1659 and provides for wife Elizabeth, sons John and Luke, and daughter Hanna, all under 18.

He died 1 Nov 1659, leaving a wife Elizabeth, probably sister of William Gibbons of Hartford, CT.
