Misc. Notes
According to [9, pg. 126]:
“James Trowbridge learned the trade of a “cord-wainer," or shoemaker, in his
native town, and followed it in New Haven and also in Stratford, Conn., whither
he removed in September, 1693. He and his [second] wife were admitted members of the
Stratford Congregational church April 8, 1694. In Stratford he was chosen
sealer of leather at the town meetings held from 1698 to 1702. He lived on Long
Hill. In 1712 he removed to the town of Norwalk, Conn., purchasing a large
farm on Chestnut Hill in the parish of Wilton. He there passed the remainder
of his life, engaged in farming.
He was probably one of the three original members of the Wilton Congrega-
tional church, and was appointed a committee to make arrangements for the
settlement of the Rev. Mr. Sturgeon. He was appointed a deacon of the church,
an office which he filled until his death. In the town of Norwalk he served as
fence viewer in 1717, grand juror in 1719 and town collector in 1721.”
