Thomas and Susan Blodgett came to America from Suffolk, England in 1635 with three small children. He died before he was 40, and in his will wrote about his children,
"should they have a father-in-law [stepfather] who does not treat them well, my will is that the Deacons and our brother Fessington and our brother Windship, they, or either of them, should have the power to see unto it and reform it by one means or another."
His great-granddaughter was Katherine Blodgett who married John Warner.
The Blodgetts had settled in Massachusetts, but Katherine's father, Joshua, and some of his brothers moved from eastern Massachusetts to north central Connecticut in Tolland County in 1719 when Katherine was only 2. Joshua had married a woman named Dinah (many think Dinah Morse) in Massachusetts, and she sued him for abandoment. One book states, "Joshua disappeared from Stafford about 1734 on account of some social disfunction."
Katherine married John Warner who had been born in Connecticut, and they lived in Stafford and were members of the First Congregational Church where the births of their ten children were documented, including our grandfather, Moses Warner. Katherine died in 1802 when she was 85.
