Notes 
Individual:

1614: James York was born.
"New England Marriages Prior to 1700" compiled by Clarence Almon Torrey; p. 846; The Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc.; Baltimore, Maryland; 1985 (974.0 NEa/Marriage SCGS)

1635, June 20: " . . . there embarked on board the good ship "Philip", Richard Morgan, master, forty-two passengers, who were to be transported from England to Virginia, in America. They had been previously examined by the minister of Gravesend as to their conformity to the orders and discipline of the Church of England, and had taken the oath of allegiance.
"James York, Sr., was one of the passengers of the good ship "Philip" in 1635, rated therein at the age of 21 years, consequently he was born in the year 1614. It is not known at what place in Virginia Captain Morgan landed his passengers, or whether he landed them in that colony at all. If they were landed there, our James York did not remain there long. He doubtless soon after his arrival in this country, came north, whether by land or water we do not know, but the first record we have of him is in Braintree, Massachusetts.
1660: "James York, Sr., came to Stonington, Connecticut when this town was under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and called by the name of Southertown, and settled on grants of land which then included the present farm of Gideon P. Chesebrough, east of Aquilla, or Wequetequock Brook, also the farm of Erastus D. Miner and the Simon Rhodes place, and there he built him a dwelling house on the north side of the then Indian path, now known as the Old Post Road, where he lived the remainder of his life.
1683: James York died, aged sixty-nine years. His widow died in 1685. [Research of Nancy Ann Norman, WorldConnect]
