Individual Notes
• The Rev. Richard Denton is covered in the “History of Stamford.” He led the settlement of the town and, bristling under the jurisdiction of New Haven Colony, took his followers to Hempstead. Denton was, likewise, from Yorkshire, Halifax to be precise. [1089, p 2]
• Hempstead was settled in 1643 by CT people led by Rev. Denton, who brought his people in from the Stamford area. [1089, p 2]
• Accounts seem to mark Denton as a religious radical bent on strict Puritanical rule, etc. Could Geo. Mills (1605-94) have been a devoted follower, in both senses of the word, of this religious leader? [1818, p 2]
• From the first there seems to have been a degree of restiveness among the settlers in regard to the limited franchise they enjoyed under the jurisdiction of the New Haven colony. As early as 1644, but a little more than three years after the settlement, this impatience, under such restrictions, was shown by the secession of quite a portion of the colony. Mr. Denton and those who agreed with him, decided to try their fortunes under Dutch government on Long Island, and accordingly removed and located at Hempstead. This removal took away from Stamford the following list of the settlers: Richard Denton, father and son, Robert Coe, John Karman, Jeremy Wood, Richard Gildersleeve, Wm. Rayner, Benjamin Coe, John Ogden, Jonas Wood, John Fordham, Edmund Wood, Thomas Armitage, Simon Seiring, Henry Pierson, John Coe, Robert Jackson, Thomas Sherman, Francis Yates, and John Ellison.
