Notes - Montville: Zipporah Wheeler of Groton, married 1 July 1669. "On the evening of June 6, 1678, while Thomas Bolles was absent from home, Mary and Joseph, with their mother, Zipporah, were murdered by a boy named John Stoddard. The wife and two eldest childdren were found dead, weltering in their own blood, with the infant, not a year old, wailing, but unhurt, by the side of its mother The perpetrator of this bloody deed was a vagrant youth, of uncontrolled passion, who had demanded of the wife shelter and lodging in the house, but was refused. Some angry words ensued, and the diabolical boy, seizing the axe that lay at the wood pile, rushed in and took awful vengeance on his victims. He soon afterwards confessed..." and was tried, convicted and executed at Hartford 9 Oct. 1678.
