ENFIELD
http://listentotherain08.blogspot.com/2008/08/enfield.html
'ENFIELD is almost unique in at least one respect, for no history of
Massachusetts is complete without including the history of Enfield for the
first seventy years of its existence, nor would a history of Connecticut be
complete that failed to include the entire history of Enfield. When William
Pynchon, 'the father of Springfield,' Massachusetts, settled on that portion
of the Connecticut, he believed that he was within the jurisdiction of
Connecticut and so Enfield, which belonged to the territory settled by
Pynchon and his company of settlers, was believed to be in Connecticut. That
this belief was general, is shown by the fact, that Mr. Pynchon, as a
magistrate, attended a Court held in Hartford in November, 1636.
