Note: THE 27 PROPRIETORS OF 1672 THE 27 PROPRIETORS OF 1672 In 1672 the "27 Proprietors" purchased land west of the "Myanos River" from the remaining Indians. This tract was called "Horseneck" because of the neck of land (now known as Field Point) was a common horse pasture. Official title to the land didn't actually come until 1686. In the 1857 History of Greenwich by Daniel M Mead, we have Thomas Close and Thomas Close Junior recorded as being two of the 27 Proprietors of 1672. The author apparently found the list on "a stray leaf of the well worn records". This is interesting because whilst Thomas did have a son called Thomas he was not born until about 1674, i.e. after the Proprietors had assumed ownership. This record may be incorrect, but if not then it implies that there were two Thomas Closes old enough to own land at the time. In the 1911 History of Greenwich by Spencer P Mead, Thomas Close Junior has been replaced by Joshua Knapp in the list of the 27 Proprietors of 1672. This is confirmed by the memorial stone erected in 1935 to the founders of Greenwich. |
