Notes for this person

Note: From "A Catalogue of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut.": Wadsworth, Hon. James, son of John, sen'r., of Farmington, and grandson of Hon. William, sen'r., of Hartford. In 1708, Maj. James Wadsworth and 34 others, obtained a patent, confirming to them the proprietors of the lands in Durham. Maj. Wadsworth had resided there previous to this time. He is familiarly known as "Col. Wadsworth." He was by profession a lawyer, and enjoyed by his ability and qualifications, as many of the responsible offices of the town of Durham as he desired, and received several appointments of trust and honor from the colony. He was the first military captain, the first justice of the peace, and the first town clerk of Durham. In 1739 he was appointed colonel of the 10th regiment of militia--was a justice of the quorum for some time in New Haven --and an assistant for many years. In 1724, he with others, were appointed to decide all matters of equity and error which came before the General Assembly by petition, and was for a time a judge of the Superior Court of the colony. Colonel Wadsworth was an important man in the colony. He died in 1756, aged 78 years. He left two sons and one daughter, viz. sons, John Noyes and James.
