[The name of John Bouton appears on p. 17, as among the
first settlers of Norwalk. At what time he came to this country
the family have no record. He was a French Protestant, and it^is
said there are many of the same name still living in France and
Germany, and that a great similarity exists between the families
there and here. He had five children after his marriage as here recorded,
viz. John, Matthew, Rachel, Abigail, and Mary. He
must also have had children by a previous marriage. (See record
of marriage of Daniel Kellogge to Bridget Bowten, in 1665,
p. 187.)
His son John had"two children, Jakin and Joseph, and perhaps
more, although po others appear on the record.
