| 201 | |||| There is mention of earlier Landers situated in the Massachusetts area, but it is uncertain whether they are directly related to the this William Lander. According to the "Pioneers of Massachusetts", page 279, comes the information that a Thomas Lannder or Lannders, age 22, came on the ship "Abigail" in July, 1635. He settled at Sandwich.He married Jane Kerbie on July 2, 1651, and had three children: John, born 2 January 1653; Martha, born 7 March 1654, and Mary, born 23 January 1656. Thomas Lannder died 11 November 1675. There are numerous mentions of a John Lander, of uncertain connection to our known Lander ancestors. John Lander was granted land by the Selectmen of Salem, Massachusetts on 5 April1672, and was a witness in the Court of Essex County, Massachusetts in 1674 (from the "Essex Aniquarian" Volume 9, pp. 38-41). A John Lander, along with his wife, were presented for committing fornication before marriage, and they were sentenced to either be whipped or pay a fine (from the Records and Files ofthe Essex County Quarterly Courts, Volume VI, July 20, 1675). John Lander and wife Sarah Glanfield, daughter of Robert Glanfield, conveyed part of Mr. Glanfield's house to a Samuel Carlton of Salem, Massachusetts on 30 December 1732 (EssexAntiquarian, Volume 10, p. 163). Supposedly, many of the Essex County records were destroyed in a fire, making connection between our William Lander and previous Landers somewhat dubious. | Lander, William (I164)

Thomas played a very important role in what is often referred to as the War for the Relief of Uncas. Chief Uncas of the Mohegan tribe, a valuable asset to the Colonists, was involved ina tribal war with a competing group of Indians. On a slab at the site of Uncas' old main fort, "Shantok", is written: Here stood the fort of Uncas Sachem of the Mogegans and friend of the English Here in 1645 when besieged by the Narragansetts he was relieved by the bravery of Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell ---------- Erected by the Colonial Dames 1898 (See Burpee's History of Connecticut, Vol. II, p.597) Leffingwell built and operated the Leffingwell Inn, a "house of public entertainment" sometime shortly after 1700 (See Trilogy, pp. 177-178). The house still stands at 348 WashingtonStreet, and has been proclaimed the oldest in Norwich. In fact, George Washington, on April 8, 1776, "partook of the Hospitalities of Leffingwell Inn". In additon to the Inn, Thomas hadpaper and fulling mills, and a store that sold "lamb's gloves, sattin, cambricks and stuff shose; lute strings, palongs and humhums".
