HOME-LOT XXVII.
THOMAS LUPTON.
Thomas Lupton of New Haven early appears and almost as early disappears as a
factor in Norwalk concerns. He was made a freeman in 1664, but the ancient Town
Records make name-mention of him prior, by a few years, it would appear, to that date.
His home-lot was at the rear, somewhat, of the main line of hearthstone appropriations,
but one emanated from thence who became the progenitress of a large family. His daugh¬
ter Hannah married Ebenezer Blakeley, and had a daughter, to whom was given the
mother's name, Hannah, who married John Nash^<^- John Nash^'^- and his brother Nathan,
were the only sons of John'"'- (son of Edward Nash'"'-). Nathan, it is believed, had no
children, which fact would constitute John Nash^^- (whose wife's mother was a Lupton),
progenitor of all of Norwalk Nash name.
A grandson of John Nash^''-, viz. : Abraham ^'^-(son of Abraham Nash'"'-) was the
Abraham Nash of Troy, N. Y. fortune-fame. He married Sally Benedict of Ridgefield.
