LOOMIS
 |
| The Loomis Homestead, oldest house in Windsor, Connecticut from the website Historic Buildings of Connecticut http://historicbuildingsct.com/?p=8582 |
Joseph Loomis was a woolen draper from Braintree, Essex,
England who came to New England with his wife and children on 11 April 1638
aboard the Susan and Ellen from London, England and arrived in Boston on 17 July
1638. He resided first at Dorchester,
Massachusetts and then removed to Windsor, Connecticut.
Joseph Loomis was granted land near the confluence of the
Farmington and Connecticut Rivers. His
land was called “The Island” because every spring it flooded, but the house was
built on high ground.

I descend from the CT Loomis family directly through my Griswold, Buell and Porter line. The Buells removed to Vermont from Litchfield, CT.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to find another cousin connection with you, Marcia!
DeleteHi there. My name is Coralyn Loomis. I am a descendent of Joseph Loomis and his son Samuel's blood line. Most of my Loomis relatives still live in CT. My father was from there as was his father and my great grandfather and so forth. Perhaps some of you are my long lost cousins 😉!
