COLT, JOHN, JUN., (so called,) owned a house and lot of six acres at Podunk, he purchased of Samuel Olmsted, and other lands recorded as early as 1691, and Joseph Colt purchased the house and six acres of John, Jun., at Podunk. At a meeting of the council, at Hartford, Sept. 1, 1675, John Colt declared before them that "he was shot at yesterday by an Indian," and that another party of Indians were discovered near the north meadow in Hartford the last night. The council ordered the return of Major Treat and his troops forthwith to Hartford. This John Colt was in the list of freemen at Windsor, May 13, 1669.
