Is there any record of John/1 STOW of Roxbury, father of Thomas/2 and the Rev. Samuel/3, living in Middletown? Another son who died unmarried in 1663, John/2, may also have moved to Middletown, causing this confusion. John/2 STOW was a school teacher. Note that I number generations from the oldest in an immigrant family; John/1's father and grandfather both were named John, but never left Kent.
