Haddam
In 1660 the General Court received a petition of "Severall members of this Collony prsenting their desires unto this Court of setling a Plantation at 30 Miles Island;" whereupon, a committee to view the land was appointed and reported back favorably. Thereafter, in 1662, two women, Sepunnemoe and Towkishk, with Turramuggus, Unlaus, and others of the Wangunk Indian tribe, sold land (Haddam) to agents of the Colony of Connecticut.
On October 8, 1668, the town was incorporated by this Act: "The Court orders that the plantation of Thirty Mile Island shall ? be called Haddum, and this Court grants them the power and Priuiledg of a Plantation." In the following year the General Court granted "? that the bownds of Haddum shall runn from the great Riuer westward into the wilderness six miles, and from the great Riuer eastward into the wilderness six miles.
