"Mary Burr. Born on 14 Jan 1641 at Hartford, CT. Mary died aft 1715. On 15 Jan 1656 Mary first married Christopher Crow, at Hartford, CT. [Barbour, "Connecticut Vital Records."] Christopher died at Hartford, CT, on 11 Dec 1680. Christopher, of Windsor, freeman of Connecticut 1658. [Joseph Savage, "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England," Originally published 1860.] Christopher was first at Hartford, then after a few years (by 1668) removed to Windsor, CT; freeman in 1658. Christopher was at Windsor 1668 when he was allowed by the town to have Edward Bartlett "sojourn with him until he had taken off the crop he had sown"; had a farm at Greenfield, in Windsor; left Windsor and was residing (1683) at Hartford; his wife, also left about 1680, leaving behind her 3 young children in a suffering state; the Connecticut ordinance, 11 Dec 1680, that Samuel and Thos. Burr should take inventory of estate, pay debts, and take charge of the children, which had been done by 1684 - Hinman. [Henry R. Stiles, "The History of Ancient Windsor," 1891.] Children:

4. Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, p. 153: "Daniel Clark (Hon.), and attorney at law; a first settler and man of much influence and position at Windsor; held many public offices; was Sec. of the Colony, 1658-64, and 1665-6; was in the land div. of 1639-40, at Hartford; for his land grant at Windsor see p. 153, Vol. I.
