CLOSE FAMILY.
Compiled by Spencer P. Mead, LL.B., with the assistance of Arthur S. Kimball, East Orange, New Jersey.
According to Hotten's Lists of Emigrants to America, Phettiplace Close came to Virginia in 1608, and was granted a patent of one hundred acres of land on the James River, in the Corporation of Henrico, in 1626. In response to an inquiry as to him, the secretary and librarian of the Virginia Historical Society, under date of May 29, 1908, states that he has no "evidence to show whether Phettiplace Close (Clause) left a family As the name does not appear here later, I think it probable that he was one of the numer- ous settlers, who succumbed to disease, or was killed by the Indians. "
The name of Close, in New England, first appears in the will of William Frost of Fairfield, Connecticut, dated Jan. 6, 1644, where one Goodman Close is mentioned as having one of the testator's heifers. (See Manwaring's Abstract of Hart- ford Wills, vol. I, page 13.) Goodman Close probably died at Fairfield about 1653, and left him surviving, his widow, Elizabeth, and the following children: Hannah, Thomas, Joseph, and Mary. His widow afterwards married George Stuckey, and had one child, Elizabeth Stuckey.
518
Ye Historie of Ye Town of Greenwich
George Stuckey bought land at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1640, sold out in 1645, removed to Fairfield, where he married the widow Close, and later removed to Stamford, Connecticut, with his step-children. His wife died at Stam- ford, Sept. 4, 1656. He died at Stamford, Sept. 28, 1660, leaving a will, which is recorded in the Stamford Land Records. The will is dated Aug. 23, 1660, and makes men- tion of the Close children, namely, Mary Close, Thomas Close, Hannah Close, and Joseph Close, then deceased. On the settlement of his estate, Nov. 6, 1660, Mary Close was represented by her guardian, which shows that she was not twenty-one years of age at that time. According to the records, the Close family in New England, in 1660, consisted of Hannah Close, who, June 9, 1657, married Joshua Knapp, Thomas Close, and Mary Close, who, June 25, 1668, married Samuel Holly.
A search of the Parish Registers for County York, Eng- land, seems to indicate that Goodman Close was born in Grinton Parish, where the family attained considerable prominence.
Thomas Close above referred to settled permanently in Greenwich, Connecticut, and was one of the original paten- tees named in the patent granted to the Town of Greenwich by the General Assembly in May, 1665. He married Sarah, daughter of Richard and Ann (Husted) Hardy, in 1669. He died in Greenwich in 1709, leaving a will, dated Dec. 30, 1708, which was probated in 1709. He was a member of the General Assembly in 1701.
GOODMAN CLOSE, b. about 1600, in County York, Eng- land, m. Elizabeth -, b. about 1606, in England, came to America about 1642, and finally settled in Fairfield, Con- necticut, where Goodman Close died in 1653. His widow afterwards married George Stuckey, and died in Stamford, Connecticut, Sept. 4, 1656. Her children by her first hus- band were:
I. 2 Hannah, b. about 1632, m. June 9, 1657, Joshua Knapp, and after his death she married John Bowers.
2. 2 Joseph, b. about 1634, d. without issue before 1660.
3. 2 THOMAS, b. about 1637, m. Sarah, daughter of Richard and Ann (Husted) Hardy, in 1669, he d. in Greenwich, in 1709.
4. 2 Mary, b. about 1640, living April 15, 1725, m. June 25, 1668, Samuel Holly.
2 THOMAS CLOSE, above referred to, is the ancestor of the Close family in Fairfield County, Conn., and also of Westchester

His will is dated Dec. 30, 1708, and probated in 1709; executors, wife Sarah and son Joseph; mentions the following children: 3 Sarah, 3 Hannah, 3 Thomas, dec'd (and his three children), 3 Joseph, 3 Benjamin, 3 Elizabeth, 3 Ruth, 3 John, and 3 Lydia.
