About Dr. John North, Jr.
Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/North-31
DR. JOHN NORTH, oldest son of John and Hannah (Bird) North, was born, probably at Ipswich, Mass., in November, 1641, his father having settled there, and sold land in 1646. He was married by Capt. Samuel Welles, April 15, 1671, to SUSANNA FRANCIS, born Nov. 1, 1651, daughter of Robert Francis of Wethersfield. They removed to that town, Newington parish, where he died Aug. 6, 1682, aged 41.
With his father and brother Samuel, he was one of the original eighty-four proprietors among whom the unoccupied lands of Farmington were divided in 1672. In the list of inhabitants of Wethersfield who petitioned in May, 1682, to settle in what is now Windham Co., Conn., appears the name of John North.
He was said to have been a natural doctor and to have practised medicine in Farmington and New London, where he gave his opinion concerning the sudden death of a captain whose ship was anchored in the harbor, "that it was caused by unseasonable bathing after immoderate drinking."
Miss F. M. Caulkins in "The Family Repository and Horticultural Cabinet," New London, August, 1861, says of him: "Our regular physician, Dr. John North, professor of physic, appears in the plantation during the ministration of Dr. Bulkley. How long he continued here is uncertain, but we venture to suggest that he found the location too healthful, and the few people that composed the plantation too robust for his business, and soon removed elsewhere. Little else is known of this our first Dr. North, but that he died in Wethersfield, Conn., in 1682."
