Richard Brockway
- Born: 11 Sep 1699, Lyme, Connecticut
Noted events in his life were:
• Family History: From The Brockway Family, Francis E. Brockway, 1890, Page 10. III. RICHARD BROCKWAY, b. at Lyme, Conn., 11 Sept. 1699; married, probably, with DEBORAH REED. He settled near the First Church in Lyme, and was probably a member of it, but the loss of the early records makes the proof difficult. Mr. Charles Hallam Brockway furnished the names of his children, as we have given them. Possibly he had a wife BRIDGET, as a gravestone at Brockway's Ferry seems to show that Thomas Brockway, son of Capt Richard and Mrs. Bridget Brockway, died 16 Sept. 1742, in his third year. A pair of small stones, near those of Thomas, bear no inscription except R. B., and may mark the grave of another child of Richard Brockway. Richard Brockway was one of the signers of the Lyme North Quarter paper 7 Dec. 1724.
