    • Elizabeth (Seymour)... m. at Wethersfield, 7 Feb 1711/12, Gideon Belding, b. at Wethersfield 24 Mar 1692/3, d. in 1733, s. of Samuel [3] (John, [2] Richard, [1])" (1)
      "John Belden, son of Richard Belden, was born in England about 1631, and accompanied his father to America, settling in Wethersfield, where he was made a freeman in 1657. He enlisted as a trooper under Captain John Mason during the years 1657-8, and took an active part in the affairs of the town. He inherited a large portion of the real estate of his father, and acquired much of his own by purchase, building a moderate fortune. He was licensed to be a tavern keeper by the town, and in all probability was a merchant. The inventory of his estate amounted to 911 pounds. He died June 27, 1677, aged forty-six years. The Wethersfield Land Records, pages 225-258, bear his autograph "John Belden". John Belden married Lydia Standish, daughter of Thomas and Susanna Standish. Their children were: 1. John, born June 12, 1658. 2. Lieut. Jonathan, June 21, 1660. 3. Joseph, April 23, 1663. 4. Samuel, mentioned below. 5. Sarah, March 31, 1668. 6. Daniel, Oct. 12, 1670. 7. Child, Jan. 8, 1672. 8. Lydia, in March, 1675, married Stephen Kellogg. 9. Margaret, March 29, 1677." (2)
