  • “PETER BLYNN, the earliest paternal ancestor of the subject of this sketch of whom we have any definite record, born in or about the year 1640, was among the early settlers of Wethersfield, Connecticut. The family is supposed to have been of French Huguenot ancestry, and the name in the early days of phonetic spelling of proper names appears on the records as Blin, Blinn, Bly, Blynn, and even as Blen and Blenn. Peter Blynn was collector for the town of Wethersfield, Connecticut in 1692. He drew his allotment of the common land of the town in 1694; was fence viewer in 1708-9, and filled various other municipal offices. He died in Wethersfield in March, 1724-5, the inventory of his estate being made March 18, 1724-5, and his will bearing date March 2, 1724-5. The will mentions his wife Mary Blynn, and children: Peter, James, William, and Mary, the latter wife of ——Hurlburt; and grandson Daniel Blynn, son of a deceased son Daniel.
  • “WILLIAM BLYNN, son of Peter and Mary Blynn, of Wethersfield, Connecticut, was born July 1, 1675, and died October 17, 1729: He married (first), November 13, 1701, Anna Coltman, born March 11, 1680-1, daughter of John Coltman, who first appears in the Connecticut colony in 1645. He was a son of Thomas Coltman of Newton-Harcoate, county Leicester, England, and came to New England as a member of the family of Leonard Chester, who erected the first mill at Wethersfield, of which Coltman was manager until 1648, when he became part owner. He was a man of education and was the town schoolmaster in 1666. In 1668 he was granted land near the Chester Mill, where he erected a house in which his son-in-law, William Blynn, later resided. John Coltman died about 1696, and his widow married a man by the name of Sherman. Anna (Coltman) Blynn, died October, 1724. William Blynn married (second) December 22, 1725, Thankful, daughter of John Nott. By his first wife, Anna Coltman, he had seven children. He was proprietor of Chester’s mill, at Wethersfield in 1715, when the town records show that he was granted liberty to overflow ‘Deming’s Meadow.’ He resided in the house formerly the property of his father-in-law, John Coltman, in the south part of Wethersfield.
  • “WILLIAM BLYNN, (2), the third of the seven children of William and Anna (Coltman) Blynn, was born at Wethersfield, Connecticut, July 29, 1709.
