Notes:
Benjamin Gorton, born in about 1678 in Warwick, married Ann Lancaster, daughter of William Lancaster; lived at Warwick and East Greenwich, and was in 1713 a Deputy to the General Assembly. He later settled upon a tract he purchased September 20, 1717, for L500 of Peter and Mary Mason--"500 acres, bounded westerly and northwesterly on the great pond called Twenty Mile Pond, alias Massapeage." It was in the town, now county, of New London, but was reckoned within the town of Norwich, which is adjoined, and he was always listed as a resident of that town. Massapeg Pond, also called Gardner's Lake, is situated in the present towns of Norwich, Bozrah and Colchester. The landscape surrounding it is of exceeding beauty. massapeg Station is on the New London and Williamantic R.R., about four miles from Norwich and eight miles from new London centre, and about six miles from the lake, which is now a favorite resort for people of affluence.
William Lancaster settled at Norwich at about the same time that Benjamin Gorton settled there. The records show close intimacy between the families. The graves of their son, Robert Lancaster, 1694-1770, and his wife, Elizabeth, 1706-1782, and of their son, John, 1738-and his wife, Anna Bentley Tripp, 1755-1831, and of Mercy Lancaster are in the Christ's Church burying-ground at Chelsea.
