John Scudder was born in Kent, England in 1619 and traveled with his family to Salem in 1636. In 1642 he received a land grant in Salem for himself. In the same year he married Mary King. They appear on the Salem Church list in 1647.
In 1651 John, along with his brothers Thomas and Henry, sailed from Salem to Southold on the eastern tip of Long Island. Southold was originally settled in the early 1640s by a Salem Minister, John Youngs. It was established as a part of the newly founded New Haven Colony. In 1651 Reverend Youngs brought a boatload of Puritans from Salem and our Scudders were on board.
Southold is the oldest English settled town in New York State and their church is the second oldest in New York State, after the Dutch Church in New York City. Originally part of the New Haven Colony jurisdiction, Southhold later joined with the Connecticut Colony in 1662 and was acquired by the New York Colony in 1664.
John Scudder was a currier and tanner of leather while in Salem and he continued this profession after he moved to Long Island.
John and Mary Scudder remained in Southold from 1651 to 1657 when they moved to Huntington. By 1660 they were prominent in Newtown, New York where they lived for the remainder of their lives.
In 1668 John owned what was later known as Schenck's Mill on a dammed river in the Buswick area. There was a fever spreading in the area at the time, and the officials felt the dam was stagnating the river and causing the problem. The Court of Newtown ordered that the dam be broken.
John Scudder died sometime afterwards in Newtown. Mary had died on January 5, 1668.
They had 5 children, all born in Salem, Massachusetts:
came from England with his family before 1635 to Salam, MA?
