About Dr. John Brockett
http://www.timslife.com/family/intro02.html
Note: The following is paraphrased from Edward J Brockett's book "The Descendants of John Brockett". You may download it for free or read it online at http://www.archive.org/details/descendantsofjoh00inbroc.The book has many inaccuracies before immigration to New World, but is reasonably accurate for New World data.
John Brockett, the eldest son of John 1st, was born in New Haven in 1642, baptized Jan. 31, 1643.
In Davis' History of Wallingford it is stated that he was born in England. His tombstone in the Montowese Cemetery states his death in 1720, aged 78 years, which would make his birth in 1642, when, from the official records, we find that his father was in New Haven, and the record of his baptism in New Haven, it would seem, that, in this respect, Davis' record was inaccurate.
He was, however, educated in England and at Oxford, for a physician. He commenced practice in New Haven, but located at Muddy River, near North Haven, between New Haven and Wallingford, remaining there during his lifetime.
He had a large and valuable medical library which at his death he gave to Yale College, for the use of the physicians in New Haven ; this became scattered so that no trace of it can now (1904) be found.
He was a man of remarkable attainments for those days and the first permanently resident physician in New Haven Colony. He married Elizabeth Doolittle, daughter of Abraham Doolittle, who, with John Brockett 1st, was elected by the residents of Wallingford to manage all the affairs of the town. Elizabeth was born April 12, 1652, died March, 1731, and was buried beside her husband in the Montowese Cemetery.
In addition to his practice, Dr. John Brockett was a large land holder and carried on farming. He received from his father's estate, large quantities of land, and in the 3rd general division of land in 1680, which was determined by the number of persons in his family and the amount of estate on which he paid taxes, Dr. John received 24 acres, naming 4 persons, and £40, while his mother, Widow Brockett, received 20 acres, having 4 persons and £19. In the first allotment of lands in Wallingford he received 8 acres and in the allotment of 1689 he received an additional 44 acres. In 1 70 1 he was taxed in Wallingford on £87.
He died Nov., 1720; all his property went to his widow Elizabeth.
