Notes:

James Trowbridge was likely born at Dorchester after his parents immigrated and was baptized there in 1637 or 1638. After his family's move to New Haven, CT, his mother died and, at about age 8, in 1644, his father returned to England, leaving James and his two brothers in the care of a Sgt. Thomas Jeffries, possibly a relative from the Taunton, England area.

As the result of a lawsuit against their father's steward in New Haven, James acquired his father's property in Dorchester, MA and moved there, where he married his first wife in 1659. He removed to Cambridge Village, now Newton, in 1664. After the death of Deacon John Jackson, his second wife's father, he was chosen Deacon of the church at Newton.

In 1675 he purchased 85 acres of land and a dwelling house and out buildings from Dep. Gov. Danforth; he had occupied this land for some years. He was chosen one of the first Selectmen at the organization of the town 27 Aug. 1679 and held that office for 9 years. He was clerk of the Writs in 1691 and 1693, and Commissioner, Lieutenant and Representative to the General Court in 1700 and 1703.

James married Margaret Atherton on 30 Dec 1659 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA.

Notes:

William Trowbridge was brought in childhood by his parents from England, first to Dorchester in the MA Bay colony, and then to the plantation of New Haven. When his father was called back to England, he and his brothers were left in charge of his father's former servant, Henry Gibbons. The latter mismanaged the property left for the boys' support, and after a time they were taken away from him by the town authorities and put under the care of Sergt. Thomas Jeffrey and his wife, and in their home William and his brothers passed their boyhood. His schoolmaster was Mr. Ezekiel Cheever.

Soon after reaching his majority, William Trowbridge made an attempt to bring Gibbons to an account for his stewardship. His efforts were continued over a series of years, but gained little result during his father's lifetime. A few years after the latter's death, Gibbons made some restitution as can been seen in his father's notes.

William Trowbridge is usually described in the public records of that time as a "planter", and later on as a "husbandman". In 1664 he appears to have been master of the sloop Cocke, making voyages out of New Haven. In July, 1667, he sold his house and lot in the village of New Haven, and probably about that time became one of the first residents in the parish of West Haven. He probably built a house on that part of the "Lamberton Farm" that through his wife came into his possession on May 4, 1677. His share was one-sixth of the Lamberton farm, and it included all the land between the present Campbell and Washington avenues from Brown street nearly to Long Island Sound. He also owned 144 acres on the Sound near Oyster river.

William Trowbridge was nominated a freeman of the colony of CT on May 13, 1669. He lived on his farm in West Haven the remainder of his life. He made gifts to his children during his lifetime of much of his real estate, so that the inventory of his estate mentions but 55 acres of "second division" land and a small amount of personal property. He made no will. He and his wife were admitted members of the First Church in New Haven on April 28, 1686.
