He was married to Elizabeth on 8 Mar 1691/92 in Lyme, CT. Children were: Dorothy Brockway, William Brockway, John Brockway, Richard Brockway, Elizabeth Brockway, Ebenezer Brockway.

William Brockway⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born on 26 Dec 1693 in Lyme, CT. He died in 1774 in Lyme, CT. William Brockway, son of William (3), son of Wolston (1), m. Prudence
Pratt,
daughter of William Pratt. There seems to be a doubt about the number of
William's children, as there is no record of their births. The Pratt
Genealogy
gives Sarah and William, and adds "perhaps others". In Lyme Records is
recorded a deed in which Wm. Brockway conveys land in Joshuatown to his
son Gideon, dated 4/2/1756, a deed given by Edward B. to William B., Jr,
is witnessed by Thomas Brockway, who may have been another son.
Genealogy of the Puritans: pg 341 states that William Jr. m Oct 1716, and
had
Hannah, b Nov 30, 1718, William b. Feb 22 1728; perhaps others. Parents: William Brockway and Elizabeth.

He was married to Prudence Pratt on 13 Oct 1716 in Lyme, CT. Children were: Sarah Brockway, William Brockway, Gideon Brockway.

William Brockway⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born on 22 Feb 1722/23. He died on 25 Feb 1798. Parents: William Brockway and Prudence Pratt.

Wolston Brockway⁽¹¹⁰⁾ was born about 1640. He died on 14 Sep 1718 in Lyme, CT. The ealiest known mention of this doubtless first representative of this
family name in America, and the ancestral head of all bearing it here
prior to 1800, is found in the Town Records of Lyme, CT where it is
stated that Dec 3 1659 he bought "housing and land of John Reynolds of
Norwich, formerly of Lyme, on the East side of the river, over against
the town of Saybrook." No prior notice of him has yet been found in
either Lyme, Saybrook, or the Hartford State Records, (1887 Brockway
Genealogy, p. 6. He is named as "Cooper of Black Hall". In 1697 Wolston
devised land to his eldest son William "according to God's command to
provide for my children". Wolston Brockway, Sr. marrfied in Lyme, Hannah
Bridges, of that town, daughter
of William Bridges, and the number of children recorded was 10. "Goodwife
Brockway" died Feb 6 1687. Where she is buried is not known. He, without
doubt, died at his son William's house in Joshuatown, near Brockway's
Ferry and was interred in the first burying ground of the fmaily on the
hillside in the rear of Mr. Warne'rs home, but no mark or stone
remains. Many of the next
generation were buried there, also. Of the sons, William, the eldest,
succeeded to his father's homestead, and his descendats were still living
on Brockway property in 1887. Other sons scattered, settling along the
shore of the Sound , and thus were separated from the later branch, their
descendants have been thought to be of a separate family. From "Genealogy
of the Puritans: Pg 341: "Wolston Brockway was a respectable and early
settler at Lyme. He deeded lands in Lyme to John Robins in 1672 signed by
himself and his wife Hannah. He deeded a piece of land in Lyme to his
father WILLIAM BRIDGES; the deed entered for record 1680. In 1682 he sold
land
to Mr. Christopher Christophers, of New London. His wife was the daughter
of
William Bridges; was probably m. before he settled at Lyme. His children
recorded at Lyme were Hannah, B. 1664; Mary, 1669; Briget, 1671; Richard
1673; Elizabeth 1675; Sarah, 1679; Debrah, 1682; Goodwife Brockway d.
Feb 6 1687. Woolson Brockway on the 12 day of March 1671-2, was one of
the Saybrook and Lyme men, against whom John Prentice of New London,
complained for "riotous practices and assaults on New London people,
&ect." The Saybrook people had also complained to the County Court in
Hartford that same year against the people of New London for similiar
complaints. the controversy bewteen the towns was a strip of land which
includee Black Point in Lyme.

*John Brondig⁽⁶¹⁾ was born before 5 Jun 1593 in Rattleden Parish, Suffolk Co, England. He died after 20 May 1639 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Parents: *Thomas Brundish and *Agnes Tompson.

He was married to *Rachel Hubbard in 1621 in Belstead Parish, England. From "The Washington Ancestry", page 544:

"...the order of the Particular Court of the Colony of Connecticut on April 2, 1640, relating to the estate of John Brundish(1) - '30L to the sonne and 25L a peece to each of the 4 daughters to be payd into the Court for their use when each of them come to the age of sixteene years and in the meantyme the widow to have the use of the land for bringing up the children.'....

In a footnote on page 53 of 'One Thousand Years of Hubbard History, by Edward Warren Day, it is stated that Rachel, daughter of James and Naomi (Cocke) Hubbard of Mendlesham, Suffolk, England, 'married John Brandish of Ipswich, Suffolk, England, and came to New England in 1633. They lived in Salem, Mass., Wethersfield, and Fairfield, Ct...."

John Brundish was a tanner who moved from Watertown, Massachusetts to Wethersfield. He made a deed dated May 20, 1639, witnessed by Andrew Ward, Edmund Wood, and Robert Rose, but did not sign it; the uncompleted instrument was confirmed November 23, 1639, by his widow as administrator of his estate. The inventory was taken October 27, 1639; his heirs were his widow Rachel and five children: two older girls, a boy, and two younger girls, all under sixteen years. About 1655-57 the property was divided between Mary, wife of Francis Purdy, John Brundish, Bethiah Brundish, and Posthume Brundish.

From "A Brundage Family Genealogy" by Thomas William Brundage, 1989, page 2-1:

"At Weathersfield John and Rachel lived on what is now Sandy Lane. He died, probably by suicide, without a will; his estate was valued at 174L in chattels and 130L in house and land. The chattels included books as well as tools. Rachel was granted the chattels and the real estate was to be for the childrens portion when they reached sixteen. the land was sold before May 1641, presumably when Rachel left Weathersfield for Fairfield." Children were: James Brundish, Mary Brundish, Ann Brundish, *John Brondish, Bethia Brundish, Posthume Brundish.

*John Brondish⁽⁶¹⁾ was born in 1635 in Salem or Watertown, Massachusetts. He died before 2 Oct 1697 in Rye, New York. Parents: *John Brondig and *Rachel Hubbard.

He was married to *Hannah Hunt about 1660. From "The Washington Ancestry", Vol. 3, by Charles Arthur Hoppin, 1932, page 544:

"Sometime after the death of his mother about 1643, and when he had become old enough to be apprenticed, to sell his labor, or to run away and maintain himself independently, he left his stepfather, Anthony Wilson of Fairfield, and entered into some engagement with one of the several families that had settled in the westeern part of Stamford that became in 1665 the town of Greenwich in the colony of Connecticut. When John Brundish arrived there the place was in the colony of New Haven. Probably he was there by 1650, alone of his family. On June 29, 1660, Peter Disbrow and two others at Greenwich purchased of Indians the island of Manussing in Long Island Sound, and in July or August, 1661, they with John Brundish and eleven other Englishmen removed to it. Manussing Island was then not under the jurisdiction of any colony or province, but the colony of Connecticut soon claimed it; later the province of New York included it in a new township of Rye, also originally claimed by Connecticut but later yielded up as the easternmost town in the county of Westchester, province of New York.

So John Brundish was one of the fifteen founders of the town of Rye, and one of its first settlers. These few men, in boldly and privately effecting the purchase of the island and in removing there, were viewed with suspicion by the chief officials of the colony of New Haven.... These men took up a most unusual position, as is indicated in a document now quite famous, locally, which they prepared and proclaimed.... The inference is easy to draw from the declaration of the nine signers of the locally famous instrument that they were averse to permitting themselves and their island to fall under the jurisdiction of the colony of New Haven or of the province of New York. They gave the name of Hastings to their settlement, afterward changing to the name of Rye, it covering a section of the adjacent mainland as well as the island....

'Hasting, July 26, 1662. Know all men whom this may Concarn that we the inhabitants of minnussing Iland whos names are here under writtne do Declare unto all the trueth that we Cam not hether to live without government as pretended and therfore doe proclayme Charles the Second our lawful lord and King; and doe vollentaryly submitt our selves and all our lands that we have bought of the english and yndians; under his gratious protection: and do expect According to his gratious declaration: unto all his subjects which we are and desierre to be subject to all his holsom lawes that are Just and Rightious According to God and our Capablenes to Receive; where unto we do supskribe.

Here is the evidence of the beginning of a town, so definite that it can go down in history free from the vagueness and doubts in which such events are sometimes obscured....

On March 26, 1663, John Brundish signed his name 'John Brondig,' with nine others, to a formal address to their 'Much Honnored Sires', the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut, setting forth that the signers have established the town of Hastings upon land which 'wee have bought with our money: the which: wee understand doth lye within your patent,' and acknowledging the jurisdiction of the colonial court, appointing their deputy to attend its sessions, and requesting the court to give their newly chosen constable at Hastings the power to grant warrants in case of need. A month after this address, the four original purchasers of Manussing Island and Hastings from the Indians, conveyed by deed of April 28, 1663, the island and some land on the main to John Brondig and six others, at the price of forty shillings a lot payable in cattle or corn. There were one hundred acres of good land on the island.

A section of Hastings became known as Rye, both names being given for the two adjoining towns of Hastings and Rye in the county of Sussex, England. On May 11, 1665, the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut decreed that the entire area of the town of Hastings be called Rye, and on May 10, 1677, John Brundish was elected by the inhabitants of Rye as their representative for that year to the colonial legislature at Hartford. He served another term, beginning on May 12, 1681. [Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut, II,300; III,75.] He also served as selectman (townsman) of Rye, having the administration of town affairs in general. He was the first formally chosen clerk of the town of Rye. The town records are in his handwriting. He served for nearly all of the more than thirty years of his life at Rye. He was succeeded in that office at his death in 1697 by Samuel Lane. He became one of the company called 'The Eighteen Proprietors of Penningo Neck,' that purchased Peningoe Neck, on the mainland in Rye. These owners were more commonly called 'The Eighteen Men.' They ruled the town. John Brundish was empowered by the town on November 23, 1686, to procure for the town a patent from the colony of Connecticut....

John Brundish was selectman of Rye at the outbreak of King Philip's War in July 1675.... On May 21, 1696, John Brundage 'made application for himself and Richard Griffen to purchase one hundred acres of vacant land on Byram River near fourteen miles from the Sound, for which they desire a patent.' [Indian Deeds, Warrants for Survey. Albany, NY., Liber I] This land, in what is now the town of North Castle, Westchester County, New York, was close to or adjoining, or perhaps was in part the land purchased in 1701 by his son-in-law, Richard Schofield, of Stamford, as we have seen.

The death of John Brundish at Rye in 1697 prevented his development of that patent of land. At his death, the dispute over the boundary line between the province of New York and the colony of Connecticut was unsettled. The king of England finally settled the question in October, 1700, by giving Rye to the province of New York, thus deciding against the claims of the colony of Connecticut which had held more or less of Rye since it was founded in 1661. The settlement of the estate of John Brundish was effected in the probate court of Fairfield County, Connecticut (abstract):

[Fairfield Probate Records, IV-141]:
