About John Douglas Watrous

John Waterhouse

Among the early settlers of Quakertown was John Waterhouse of New London. He located in Groton in the early part of the eighteenth century. He built his house about a mile north of what is now known as Burnetts Corners, where he owned a large tract of land. He was an active Rogerene leader and was succeeded by his son Timothy who is usually known by the shortened name of Watrous.



He was the son of Jacob, Jr and Ann (Douglass) Waterhouse of New London, Connecticut. He bought land east of the Thames River in what later was known as Ledyard and settled there from New London about 1720. A large number of descendants still inhabit the area today.
