Notes
General:
On page 43 of The Stiles Family in America -- Genealogies of the Connecticut Family (Henry Reed Stiles, 1895) there is a sketch of Henry Stiles, which says, inter alia, that

He was one of those who occupied the "short seats" of the Windsor Meeting House, in January, 1659-60. As these seats were rated at 3s. a person and 7s. for a man and wife, and as he had a 3s. seat, it was evident that his first wife, whom he had married in 1658, was then dead.

In Sept., 1696, "Corporal" Stiles, as he was then called, and John Hosford were the master workmen employed in the building of a residence for the Rev. Timothy Edwards, at "Windsor Farmes," now East Windsor. In this work he was assisted by his son Joseph (afterwards "Lieut.") then a young man of some 20 years. From this we infer that both father and son followed the family calling of carpenters and builders.

His name is among those proprietors and inhabitants on the East side of the Connecticut River, (present East Windsor), who, in 1680, petitioned the General Assembly for a new town, to be set off from Windsor.
