Notes

William Trowbridge was brought as a child, by his parents, from England, first to Dorchester in the MA Bay colony, and then to the plantation of New Haven (Conn.). When his father was called back to England, he and his brothers were left in the charge of his father's former servant, Henry Gibbons. William Trowbridge is usually described in the public records of that time as a "planter," and later on as a "husbandman." In 1664 he appears to have been master of the sloop "Cocke", making voyages out of New Haven.
