Note: Robert Royce was a shoemaker, then a highly regarded and valuable trade. His antecedents are unknown, however, and he first appears in the historical record in Stratford in 1648 when land was recorded in his name in that town. He was appointed to the General Court in 1656 and was made leather sealer for the town.

He moved to New London not long afterwards and was named constable in that town in May 1660. In 1661 he was chosen as a deputy to the General Court and was town leather sealer in 1662 and 1667, tax collector in 1667, and townsman in 1668. He entertained the new minister, the Reverend Simon Bradstreet, for sometime after his arrival in town and the town voted "to Goodman Royce for ye ministers dyet, 15 lb."

Robert Royce and his wife Mary are the 4th great grandparents of President Millard Fillmore.

Note: Lt. John Richards was an important citizen of New London. In 1690 he was employed in "searching guns" for the town. In 1711, when French privateers threatened the town, a watch under the command of John Richards was kept for forty-six days at the mouth of the harbor. He was a feofee (trustee, in effect) of the Bartlett lands for the support of a public Latin school and later bought this land, situated on the Thames River above the town of New London.

He was a successful merchant and Frances Manwaring Caulkins, author of a history of New London wrote that "no spot in New London was more noted than Lt. Richards's corner, now opposite the court house.

An inventory of his estate indicates that he was a wealthy man as it contained gold buttons, silver plate, gold and silver coin, etc.
