Peter Buell
M, b. 19 August 1644
Sergenant Peter Buell of Windsor, CT., third child of William Buell, of same place, was born there 19 Aug. 1644, whence he removed in 1670 and settled at Simsbury, Ct., where he became one of the pioneers and earliest settlers. He died at Simsbury, 8 Jan. 1729, aged 84 years.
Simsbury, Ct. was never included within the limits of Windsor, Ct, it was, however, by general consent considered as belonging to that Plantation, and hence, in 1663, a committee, consisting of Captains Newberry, Edward Griswold, and John Morse, were appointed "to lay out all those lands that are yet undivided at Massacoe (the ancient Indian name of the town) to such inhabitants of Windsor as desire and need it." The committee in Dec. 1666, specified the terms upon which those who took uplands at Massacoe should have them. These were- that within two years they should make improvements by plowing, mowing, building and gencing, and that they should live on their grants two years.
The first grants by the committee, of which any record exists, were made in 1667. These consisted of meadow lands, bordering on the river, and were made to various person. Peter Buell was awarded a portion of the Hop Meadow, but it does not appear how much land was allotted him, or what consideration he paid therefor, probably nothing more than his proportion of the acutal expenses of the committee. The name of Peter Buell as a foreman appears in the same list of names.
At the May Session of the General Assembly, in 1677, the name of Peter Buell appears to a petition, with nine others, asking that the rates for defraying the public charges be levied only upon lands, which prayer of the petition was granted.
On November 3, 1674, Peter Buell, as one of a Committee of Three, for the Town of Simsbury, joins his associates and grants the privilege to various Indians to hunt for venison in the Town of simsbury during their lifetime.
On the 7th of May, 1682 Peter Buell is found to have joined in a petition to the General Court for liverty "to put the church in Gospel order."
" On a training day, November 29, 1686, Peter Buell was chosen by the train band of Simsbury their Sergeant; he had twenty-three votes, and so was orderly proclaimed by the chief military officer, Sergeant of the Train-band of Simsbury."
"December 29th 1687, voted by the inhabitants of Simsbury to allow Peter Buell for his Deputyship and expenses, twenty shillings.
In May 1688, Peter Buell drew lot no.2, in the tier of lots lying in the Easter section of the Town know as Turkey Hills (now Granby), the lots mumbering from North to South.
In 1694 Peter Buell's name appears among the list of persons against who taxes (town rates) were laid; and in 1696 Sergeant Buell's name appears among the list for Ministers' rates; also Peter Buell's name appears in the same list for 1691. Alsoas one of the Representatives elected from the Town of Simsbury to the General Assembly, at the May Session in the year 1687; also at the October Session in 1691 and 1696.
He was married at Windsor, Ct. 31 March 1670 to Martha Coggens, daughter of Thomas Coggens, of Taunton, Ma. She died at Simsbury, Ct. 22 May 1686.

Edward Raynsford1
M, b. before 10 September 1609 (chr, d. 16 August 1680
Owen Rowe, writing to John Winthrop during the winter of 1636, requested that "Mr. Rainsford may be accommodated with lande fro a farme." Thereupon the Puritan Government gave Elder Edward Rainsford a small island of eleven acres located between Peddock's and Long Islands, about a seven miles' sail from Boston. This island has for many years been called one of the Harbor's prettiest, but in its present runinous state it is hardly attractive from the channel. West Head still contains many delightful nooks and coves, however, and the High Bluff on the eastern side is a well known landmark. This bluff slopes away on the inside to form a flat area large enough for a baseball diamond. Between this land and West Head there is a narrow strip of beach, formerly wide enoooough for a road but now barely passable at high tide. When seen from the air, the island remembles an elongated animal.
Edward Rainsford, or Raynsford as the name was sometimes spelled, was the brother of Sir Richard Rainsford, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. At the time of the Antinomian Controversy, the Puritans declared Rainsford a heretic and disarmed him. Elder Rainsford lived to a good old age and died on August 1680. His widow, who survived him by eight years, is buried in King's Chapel graveyard. By his second wife, Elizabeth, Edward Rainsford had ten children.
Edward was born before 10 September 1609 (chr at Staverton co., England. He was christened on 10 September 1609 at Staverton co., England.2 He was the son of Robert Raynsford and Mary Kirton. Edward immigrated to (an unknown value) in 1630.3 He married Mary NN---- before 1631 at prob. England.4 He married Elizabeth Dillie or Dilloe ? in 1633 at prob. Boston, Massachusetts.5,6 Edward Raynsford was present at Solomon Rainsford's christening on 25 December 1648.4 Edward Raynsford was present at Elizabeth Rainsford's christening on 25 December 1648.4 Edward Raynsford was present at Edward Rainsford's christening on 15 August 1654.4 Edward died on 16 August 1680 at Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts.7,1
His body was interred on 17 August 1680 at in King's Chapel Boston, Massachusetts.8Children of Edward Raynsford and Mary NN----
