The History of Guilford, Connecticut, From Its First Settlement in 1639

The original town of Guilford, including the present towns of Guilford and Madison, stretched along Long Island Sound from Branford to Killingsworth, a distance of approximately nine or ten miles. The first settlers were adventurers from Surry and Kent, near London, England, and, unlike their mercantile brethren who inhabited New Haven, mostly were farmers. The emphasis of this history is on the 40 early settlers, the purchase and layout of the town, and church and religious history. There are also numerous lists of deacons, town clerks, marshals, judges, magistrates, Masons, deputies, etc., and, most importantly, numerous biographical sketches of many of these early settlers.
