Rem. to Hartford, CT. Thence to Springfield, where he is mentioned in the Compact of settlers in 1636. Rem. to Northampton.

Granted land in Charlestown, MA in 1634, thus he had become a resident and owned a house before 2 April that year.
Admitted as freeman of MA Mar 4, 1634-35, on same list as his future son-in-law Thomas Woodford. Was a member of the Roxbury Church, but no record of him living there. Among the names of those who were admitted to the Charlestown Church appear "John Blacke and Susanna his wife" 1634..in the original town record is a list of the inhabitants of the town in Jan 1635, one of whom was John Black. "Against Black's name in the list of inhabitants in the transcript made by the Town Clerk Green in 1664, there has ben written in the margin the name "Robt Blott".
Was appointed cow-keeper in Boston Town Books 1660.
Robert Blott was the only man of that surname who was admitted to the First Church in Boston during this early period and he was the only Blott owning lands in Suffolk County prior to 1680, as proved by the Boston Book of Possession and the Suffolk County Deeds. References cited to Thomas Blott, and others were probably Robert Blott.
His home-lot in Boston was bounded by the streets Washington and Winter, now in the heart of the business section.It has been shown that Robert Blott and his wife Susanna were, in Dec 1644, admitted to membership in the First Church of Boston from the Church of Charlestown. It has also been surmised that she was the widow of John Black of Charlestown, who with his wife Susanna was admitted to the Charlestown Church in Jan 1634-35. If Blott's wife was the widow of John Black, she did not marry Blott until after 1634, and therefore she was not the mother of his older children and perhaps of none of them.
The Boston Records give the death of Susanna, wife of Robert Blott, on Jan 20, 1659-60. The records do not disclose the date of Robert Blott's death, but it must have taken place between March 27, 1665, the date of the codicil to his will, and Aug 22, 1665, when an inventory of his estate was taken.5 daughters listed.
From "The Fulton-Hayden-Warner Ancestry in America", compiled by Clarence Ettienne Leonard. Tobias A. Wright Publ. NY 1923.
He came in 1632 from England to America and settled at Roxbury, MA, removing first to Charlestown, and then in 1644 to Boston.

Israel Dodge, son of Tristram Dodge was born about 1646. [1] He married Hannah.[1]
Birth: 1645, England
Death: unknown
Israel Dodge was the second son of Tristram Dodge. After the arrival of Tristram Dodge Sr from the north of England near the River Tweed to Block Island, Rhode Island, in 1661, his four sons (including Israel) followed him in 1667. These sons were named as "Freemen" in July, 1670. The first settlers to Block Island were Baptist. Israel died soon after 1725, being over eighty years of age.[2]Oct. 1, 1720, Israel Dodge of New London, late of Block Island, sold land located in Block Island, formerly belonging to his father, Tristram, to his brothers John, Tristram and William of Block Island. He was on a farm in North Parish (Montville) New London, Connecticut, in 1694. In 1705, the Queen's Court reported him settled there on Indian Fields. As the New London records were burned by Benedict Arnold on September 6, 1781, it is difficult to give dates concerning the family of Israel. He appears to have disposed of all of his real estate before his death. In 1707, he bought land in Montville of Samuel Rogers. In 1719, he and wife Hannah gave his son John a part of this land.[3]

Biography
The bio below is from FindAGrave.
Tristram Dodge came from the north of England near the River Tweed. [1]
It is believed that Tristram Dodge arrived in Massachusetts from England in 1660, having first stopped in Newfoundland, that he sailed April, 1661, from Taunton, Massachusetts, with the original fifteen settlers and their families who settled on Block Island, Rhode Island. Block Island's first settlers were Baptists.
The first mention of Tristram Dodge in the records of Block Island appears in May, 1664, when he is listed as "Freeman." In 1672, [Block Island] was incorporated as the Town of New Shoreham (from the ancient town in Sussex, on the coast, nine miles west of Brighton), otherwise Block Island, and among its officers elected in 1676, were Tristram Dodge, Sen. Sergeant.[2]
Tristram Dodge is named as one of the passengers in the "shallop" which sailed from Taunton, 1661; although he was not among the first purchasers, he was among the first party of settlers.[3]
The beautifully carved gravestone designates the final resting place of Trustrum Dodge, one of the original settlers who came to Block Island in 1661. His descendants, especially noted for their exploits on the seas, have been among Block Island's most illustrious citizens.[4]

Also listed with the family on the 1850 Census is William Heard (sp?) a laborer from England
Deborah is not mentioned by either May Sommers or Mrs. Weber. She is included in the genealogy from Lonnie Demouth McManus. She is also listed in Marsha Bybee's genealogy. She is in the right place, Morris County, marrying a man from the neighborhood, Lewis Tucker of Pequannac. She is at the right time to be Jacob's child. Born in 1809, she would be the youngest, and would come as her mother reached the end of her childbearing years, her early 40's. She also bears her mother's name. Deborah married Lewis Tucker in 1829. Children of theirs that I found are Mary Ann, John Henry, Harriet, Alice, and George W. John Henry died in the Civil War.
