Captain John Mead Biography

Captain John Mead was born on October 7, 1682 in Greenwich, Fairfield County,
Connecticut. He was the son of Constable John Mead (b. ca 1658; d. May
12, 1693, both in Greenwich) and Ruth Hard(e)y (b. ca 1658 in Stamford,
Fairfield, Connecticut; d. between March 20, 1712/13 and 1727 in Greenwich).

It is interesting to note that his parents' marriage was the first marriage
that was recorded in the Town of Greenwich on October 27, 1681. Paul Prindle,
F.A.S.G. wrote the following in his article "Some Early Finch-Mead Problems,"
The American Genealogist, Vol. 48(2): 93-99, April 1972, pages 93-94:

====

The marriage on 27 Oct 1681 of John(2) Mead is the earliest vital record
to be found in Greenwich Early Records (originally called Greenwich Common
Place Book): "John Mead and Ruth Hardey were Married by Mr. Richerd Laws,
Commissioner. unto ym they had borne in ye year 1682, october ye 7, a Sonn,
being theire first borne sonn, his name being John."
