Farmer and Merchant

According to the Bristol, MA (now RI) Town Record, Henry was born 10 Dec 1690 on the "Mount Hope Farm". He removed to Groton, New London County, Ct, where he married, Mary Rose, and where he lived, and there died, in 1763, day and month unknown, His occupation is not certainly known, but tradition says he was a Merchant. However this may have been, he certainly was a farmer, owning considerable land down to 1760, and was an active business man through life, and much respected in the community in which he lived. The Land Records of Groton show twelve conveyances of land to him and six from him, his first purchase having been from his brother John, who is given in the record as then a resident of Groton. His last purchase was from his son Paul, April 14, 1746. His first conveyance was to his son Paul, 14 Feb 1745. "For Love and Good Will to his son"; others to his sons Reuben and Thomas; again to his son Paul, "The farm he now lives on," 15 July 1760, and finally, his last to Hezekiah Stoddard, 10 acres, 27 June 1763, In 1760 and 1761 he seems to have settled his estate, in a way then quite common, by disposing of his lands and by making an arrangement with his son, Paul, to support himself and his wife, Mary, during their lives. That his judgment was respected is proven by the fact recorded in the "Conn. Colonial Records, " that in 1750 "Preserved Randall with Henry Pelton of Groton, were appointed by the Colonial Legislature to sell lands of Jonathan Randall deceased, of Groton," etc.; and that he was a public spirited and religious man by his conveyance of a piece of land to "The Church," For affection for the Excellent Church of England."
