| Notes |
- Nehemiah Royce (1636-1676) was christened on 30 May 1637 at St Michael the Greater Anglican Church, Stamford, Lincolnshire, England., the son of Robert Royce (c 1606-1676) and Mary Jackson. (There was only one Nehemiah Royce in all of England, coincidentally christened 1637, whose parents coincidentally are named Robert and Mary.)
On Nov. 20, 1660, he married Hannah Morgan at New London New London County, Connecticut. They were the parents of nine children. She was born on July 18, 1642 at Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts and died on 12 December 1706 at Wallingford, New Haven County, Connecticut. She was the daughter of James Morgan and Margery Hill.
Royce, a carpenter, joiner and blacksmith by trade, was one of Wallingford's original 38 proprietors authorized by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1667 to purchase land from Mantowese and Sunk Squa, daughter of the Great Sachem of the Quinnipiacs. On May 12, 1670, Wallingford was incorporated and about 126 people settled in the town. On May 11, 1693 Royce was elected deputy representing Wallingford to the Court of the Connecticut Colony.
He died on November 1, 1706 at New Haven, Connecticut and is buried in Center Street Cemetery, Wallingford, Connecticut. (from Wikipedia...)
