Connecticut Soldiers in the Pequot War of 1637

The first levy of ninety men for war against the Pequots was made May 1, 1637, calling for forty-two men from Hartford, thirty from Windsor and eighteen from Wethersfield (Colonial Records, Vol. I., 8.) The second levy of thirty men was made June 2, 1637, calling for fourteen men from Hartford, ten from Windsor and six from Wethersfield. The third levy of ten men was made June 26, 1637, calling for five men from Hartford, three from Windsor and two from Wethersfield (Colonial Records, Vol, I., 10). These three levies called for sixty-one men from Hartford, forty-two from Windsor and twenty-six from Wethersfield, making a total of one hundred and thirty men. There is no record of the enlistments for these levies and no muster roll or pay roll of those in the service. The Hartford soldiers were given land by the proprietors in the “Soldiers’ Field,” but there is no vote or record setting out this land and no list of their names. The Colonial Records mention many Pequot Soldiers, and twelve of these, although known to have been from Hartford, are not known to have had land in the “Soldier’s Field.” From the Hartford land records (Distributions) the names of perhaps more than half of the Hartford soldiers may be gleaned. Some of the lots were two or three times as large as the lots of other men of the same rank, and this, taken with the fact that soldiers known to have been from Hartford have no record of land in the said field, indicates that the rights of some soldiers to said land were purchased by other soldiers before the tract was distributed, thereby leaving us without any record of their rights in the said land. Several lists, more or less complete, from the various towns have been compiled by different persons, with more or less accuracy. The locations given by the various compilers cannot always be depended upon, for in some instances they included men who settled in the respective towns after the war, as, for example, Mr. Adams and Dr. Stiles include Samuel and Thomas Hale in the Wethersfield list, because they settled there, although they were evidently living in Hartford in 1637.

It should be borne in mind that there were no settlements in Connecticut, at that time, other than Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield and the beginning of a settlement at Saybrook. With the exception of nineteen men under Captain Underhill (a few of whom were from Saybrook and the rest from Massachusetts), only Connecticut men were in the Mystic Fort fight in May, 1637. In the Swamp fight at Fairfield, June, 1637, there were, besides the Connecticut men, some one hundred or more Massachusetts men under Captain Israel Stoughton. There does not appear to be any list of those who went from Massachusetts. Bodge’s “Soldiers in King Philip’s War,” has a brief account of the Pequot War and claims to have drawn from all available sources. It gives a list of Hartford and Windsor men, a list of the volunteers raised in Plymouth, Mass., to go, but never went, and gives no list of the men under Stoughton and Underhill.

The Colony of Connecticut gave land to thirty-six of these men, or their heirs, and in connection therewith stated that such grants were in consideration of service in the Pequot War. Many of the men hereinafter named received land grants which may have been in consideration of such service, but inasmuch as land grants, without special service, were common we have not, with one or two exceptions, cited land grants in which there is no reference to service in the Pequot War. In the following “Soldiers’ Record” we have designated these thirty-six men by references under “service mentioned,” by reference to the volume and page of the Colonial Records where the grants, with mention of service, may be found. So far, we have the names of only ninety-five men that are said to have been Connecticut soldiers in the Pequot War. Five of these men were probably from Saybrook and three of them cannot be located, thus leaving the number from the river towns at eighty-seven out of the one hundred and thirty called for in the three levies. Of the ninety-five soldiers hereafter named, it is probable that fifty may be credited to Hartford, on its quota of sixty-one; eighteen to Windsor on its quota of forty-three, and nineteen to Wethersfield on its quota of twenty-six. Of the fifty men from Hartford, Francis II. Parker, Esq., gives the names of twenty-nine men who had lots in the Soldiers’ Field at Hartford, as hereinafter stated in the “Soldiers’ Record.”

While the following list of soldiers is neither complete nor perfect, it is based upon the conclusions of several workers who have examined every accessible data as to the three river towns with such care that any statement of service in the Pequot War of men whose names do not appear in this list, should be doubted, unless accompanied with satisfactory reasons for such statement.

CLARK, JOHN , of Hartford

Enlisted from Hartford. (Tarbox, Talcott, Bodge, Stuart and Parker.) Ha d a lot in the Soldiers’ Field. (H. T. V., p. 61.)

CLARK, JOHN , of Wethersfield

Sold his lot in 1638 and removed to New Haven where he consented to the Plantation Covenant of 1639. The confusion arising out of the various John Darks prevents us from following him fur ther. We cannot determine whether Adams and Stiles claim that there were two John Clarks in the Pequot war, one from Hartford and the other from Wethersfield, or that the one John Clark was from Wethersfield instead of Hartford. The lot in the Soldiers’ Field clearly establishes the service of John Clark, of Hartford. (Same references as to John Clark of Hartford, also Adams, in Stiles’ Weth., p. 260, and Barber’s Conn. Hist. Collections, p. 138.)
