Notes
a. Continued:   Thomas bought a parcel of land containing 9 1/2 acres in Guilford on 10 March 1728/9. The Guilford Town Hall records contain the document called, "A Terrier of Lands belonging to Thomas Hodgkin in Guilford." Some of this document is unreadable in the copy that the Compiler made; but it lists many parcels belonging to Thomas. A list of Guilford Freemen was published on 17 September 1750 and Thomas was listed as Thomas Hodgkin Esq. along with his brother Joseph. Thomas' Will leaves real estate to his nephew Joseph, son of brother Joseph, and to Thomas, son of nephew Joseph, and to the first male child of his nephew Janna, if there should be such a child. He frees his Negro man and leaves him some property; he leaves his Sabbath day house to the two nephews jointly. (A Sabbath day house is a small home in the town where they could spend Saturday night in order to attend church Sunday morning.) A Capt. Thomas Hodgkin was appointed as Justice of the Peace, by the Connecticut State Assembly on 1 December 1744 and every year thereafter until 1753. There is no firm evidence that this is the correct Thomas.
b. Note:   Morton Genealogy says that death was 18 Apr 1754
