Thomas Judd, second son of Deac. Thomas Judd, married Sarah Steele, daughter of
John Steele, of Farmington. He was one of the first planters of Mattatuck, or
Waterbury; and was the first deputy sent from that town to General Court, May,
1689. He represented the town, at one or both sessions, for 11 years, between
1689 and 1703. Was several times a deputy with his nephew, Deac. Thomas Judd,
when the town sent two. He was an Ensign in 1686, and a Lieutenant and chief
officer from 1696 or 97 till his death, there being no Captain till after his
decease. He was the first Commissioner for Waterbury, 1690 to 1698, and a
Justice of the Peace from 1699 to 1703, aged about 65. The inventory of his
estate was 407 pounds. He left only three children. They were born in
Farmington, but their births are not recorded. He died without making a will,
as did his father and all his brothrs except Samuel. Thomas Judd, as a
proprietor of Waterbury, was entitled to a large quantity of land in that great
township, and was still a proprietor of Farmington. Indeed, land in those days
was more plenty(ful) than any thing else, but the greater part of the upland
was then deemed of little value. A tract in Waterbury was named Judd's Meadow,
in the 17th century. Children__. 3. Thomas. 4. Sarah, born about 1686, and died
May 11, 1693, in her 28th year. She left son Thomas and two daughters. 5. John.
