DAY FAMILY.
I. Robert Day came from England to New England in the bark Eliza-
beth. He came from Ipswich. in England, and landed in Boston, 1634. He was born, 1604: was, therefore, thirty years of age. He was accompanied by his wife Mary, who was twenty-eight years of age. He first located in New- ton (now Cambridge.) His wife Mary probably died soon after their arrival. He was made a freeman May 6, 1635. which is an indication that he was a member of the established church of the colony. He was a resident of Hart- ford in 1639, and undoubtedly was one of the company who accompanied the Rev. Mr. Hooker, who walked from Cambridge to Hartford in 1636. His name is found upon the monument erected to their memory in that city. He married for his second wife Editha, sister of Edward Stibbins (or Stebbing.) of Hartford, and had four children. as follows:
