The town of Pomfret was on a purchased tract. A list of the proprietors in 1731 mentions David, Jonathan and Nathaniel Stowell as living west of this purchase. Then it says “The Thomas Grow settlement was near the Windham line, now included in the town of Hampton. A large tract of land west of the purchase was owned and occupied by John Stowell.”(Hist, of Windham, p. 529.) His name does not appear afterwards in the records. He was a brother of David, Jonathan and Nathaniel and evidently bought land near them when they did and lived there for a short time; but soon returned to Watertown for all his children, except John, are recorded as bom in Watertown. John may have been born in Connecticut.
