His widow, Susannah Brasyer Churchill, December 3. 1714, conveyed this same lot to William Provoorst. This property is said to have been located on what is now Wall street. New York City. In the general index to land records of New York is a descrip- tion of a survey of land laid out to William Churchill, 1676 ; eighty acres on northwest side of Staten Island, with six acres of salt meadow fronting said lot, and four acres in the cove, north of Daniel Perrin's lot.

Moss .- John (1) Moss was with the earliest settlers of the New Haven colony in Connec- ticut. and signed with the Planters Associates April 4, 1639. He was a member of the first general court, February 18, 1639, corporal 1642, New Haven and Wallingford, July, 1648, June, 1649, September, 1649, August, 1664. He was chosen corporal June 6, 1642. In 1664 came the entry on the town "Book:" "John Moss being bid to walk the rounds on the Lord's Day, came to the meeting house and stayed there so the service was neglected. He ·was fined 10 shillings." From a statement that John Moss of Boston was one of the debtors to the estate of James Hayward, in New Haven records, we might infer that he had some connection with the families of the name Morse (Moss) who were settling in that vicin- ity. At the age of fifty-seven years he was one of the incorporators of that part of New Haven which was set off as Wallingford, where in May, 1678, he was chosen commis- sioner to marry people. He was elected com- missioner from Wallingford eighteen times, serving as deputy also, and for Meriden as well. The only mention of his wife was the seating of the meeting house in New Haven,
when Goody Moss was assigned a seat. (John Moss claimed John Charles as his brother-in- law). John Moss died in Wallingford, 1707, and is said to have been one hundred years old. This accords with his own statement of his age in 1670, when he signed as one of the incorporators of Wallingford as being sixty- seven years of age, which makes his birth to have been in 1603-4. Children: John, bap- tized in New Haven, January 11, 1639; Sam- uel, born April 4, 1641 ; Abigail, April 10, 1642; Rev.

His homestead was first known as the Old Moss place, now as the Moses Y. Beach Place, in Wallingford. June 18, 1717, the estate of John (2) Moss, of Wallingford, was administered by his widow Mrs. Martha Moss and his eldest son Samuel Moss, while Mercy and Samuel disposed of the home lot. He owned a farm on Ten Mile Hill, another at Honey Pot, and one at Busby Hill, in all over five hundred acres.

Hine .- Thomas Hine (1), immigrant ances- tor, had a home lot in Milford, Connecticut, January 28, 1646. He was first of the name in America. The name is also spelled Hind and Hinde.

The following tradition appears in the following writings in regard to him: In Trumbull's "History of Connecticut ;" Lambert's "His- tory of New Haven Colony ;" "Baldwin Genealogy," "Tuttle Genealogy;" Orcutt's "History of New Milford," Hollister's "His- tory of Connecticut :"
"Some years after Milford was settled by the English a company of Mohawks came within the borders of the town and secreted themselves in a swamp, where they awaited an opportunity of making an attack upon the Mil- ford Indians (the Pequots). Some English- men who saw the Mohawks were friendly enough to inform their swarthy neighbors of their danger. They immediately rallied in great numbers, raised the warwhoop and rush- ing suddenly upon the Mohawks, gained a complete victory. Among the prisoners was a stout Mohawk warrior whom the captors decided to kill by famine and torture. They stripped him naked, and having tied him to a stake, left him in the tall grass of the salt meadows to be eaten up by the mosquitoes. An Englishman named Hine, who found the poor wretch in this deplorable condition, shocked at this barbarous mode of torture, cut the thongs from his limbs and set him at lib- erty. He then invited him to his house, gave him food, and helped him to escape. This kind act was never forgotten by the Mohawks. They treated the English of Milford ever after with marked civility, and did many kind and friendly acts that testified their gratitude towards their deliverer and his family."
