About Joshua Colver of Wallingford
Biography
3. Joshua 2 Colver (Edward1), generally known as Joshua Colver of Wallingford, was bom at Dedham, Massachusetts, 12 January, 1642, and was the second child of Edward Colver the Puritan. In 1667 he re- moved to New Haven, Connecticut, at which place he was married to Elizabeth Ford, the daughter of Timothy Ford, on 23 December, 1672. A little later he moved to Wallingford, Connecticut, being one of the original proprietors of the town, and a man active in its affairs. He was propounded for freeman 8 October, 1685.* In 1668 he built a house at Mystic, which his father occu- pied about ten years later. Major Fitzjohn Winthrop claimed this land by virtue of a deed from Joshua Col- ver, and also as being within the bounds of a tract of land granted to Governor Winthrop by the town of Mystic in 1652-3 "of 20 pole on each side of the river from the place where the flowing tides end." Judgment was given for Major Winthrop. The town records of Wallingford mention Joshua Colver's name frequently, and his descendants are still numerous in the towns of Wallingford, Wethersfield, Hartford and New Haven. He died 23 April, 17 13, at Wallingford.
