Notes for William Lord: Some records show a spouse as Harriet Nickerson born in 1621 in Saybrook, Middlesex, CT. William actively acquired land. He purchased much of the land that later became the town of Salem and in April 1669 he received 8 square miles of land from Chapeto, a kinsman of Uncas. William was on good terms with Chapeto and Uncas. In 1678 Saybrook voted to build a new stone meeting house measuring 50 feet by 30 feet. William was appointed to the committee to “consider the capacity of the town for erecting of a new meeting house.”

GEDCOM Note

Moved to Saybrook/Lyme about 1645

The son of THOMAS & DOROTHY (BIRD) LORD, he came to America with his parents in 1635. He took the oath of a freeman on June 6, 1638 in Massachusetts. The Boston Transcipt of Nov. 5, 18?? states that his first wife was Harriet (Hattie) Nickerson, but I know of no proof of this and she is not named in other sources. He and his first wife removed to Saybrook (now Lyme), New London Co., Conn. in 1645, being one of earliest settlers and founders. They were the parents of eight children:
WILLIAM LORD (1643-1698), m. SARAH BROOKS (my ancestors) Thomas Lord (1645-1730), m. Mary Lee abt. 1693 Lieut. Richard Lord (1647-1727) m. Elizabeth Hyde in 1681/2 Mary (Lord) Olmstead (1649-1736) m. Samuel Olmsted Robert Lord (1651-1739) m. Ester Ward on Jan. 20, 1696 John Lord (1653-1689) Joseph Lord (1656-1687)

In addition to the land division in Saybrook, in 1648, he purchased an eight square mile tract of land in Lyme from Chapeto, a Mohegan of Woncolus according to the following deed: "Know all men by these presents that I, Chapeto, a Mohegan of Woncohus my grandfather and Ananpau my father, both of them sachems of Paugwonk, and the said Chapeto having had long acquaintance with William Lord, my very loveing friend, and having singular respects to him did move me to him rather than to any other man to sell my land for acertain sum and Sums of Money, already received the lands specified are as described. . ." Signed by Uncas (his mark), Chapeto (his mark), the Mark of Chapeto's son "Maskoram". The deed was recorded April 6, 1669. In 1681, this deed was confirmed to William's sons. This parcel of land became the village of Salem, Conn.

On June 3, 1664, William married Lydia (Buckland) Brown, daughter of William & Mary (Bosworth) Buckland and widow of John Brown. He filed a prenuptual agreement before their wedding. They were the parents of: Benjamin Lord (1666-1713), m. Elizabeth Pratt on May 13, 1693 Ensign James Lord (1668-1731), m. Elizabeth Hill Samuel Lord (1670-1701), m. Susannah Collins. Dorothy (Lord) Hopson (167201705) m. John Hopson of Guilford Daniel Lord (1673-1702), m. Alice Wheeler of Easthampton, L. I. Hannah (Lord) Maltbie (1675-1696) m. John Maltbie Elizabeth (Lord) Hubbard b. abt. 1676, m. Ebenezer Hubbard on March 11, 1707/8.

His widow, Lydia, married (3) Thomas Dunk of Saybrook, CT, and (4) Abraham Post of Saybrook.
