My 8th great grandfather, Thomas Munson was one of these honored land owners for a short time. He lived in Hartford when he first came to America sometime prior to 1637. He was listed as a soldier, from Hartford, in the colonial army during the Pequot Indian War in 1637. For that service he was awarded land in Hartford. His land was located in Hartford where Interstate I-84 crosses High Street. However within a year or two he had moved to New Haven and was a founder there.
The name of Thomas Munson is the twelfth name from the bottom in this blown up view of the south side of the monument.
