| Notes |
- Possibly the first of the Cone name in America is Daniell Cone, of Scottish descent, who was one of 28 persons who received from the Connecticut Colony a grant of land situated on both sides of the Connecticut river, about thirty miles above its mouth. . . . The town was called Haddam. . . . He resided in Haddam until 1680, when he removed to the east side of the river, to near "Machi-Moodus."
Patriot James Cone, who we honor today, was a great-grandson to this founder of the Haddam community. James Cone was born 4 September 1742, youngest son of James and Grace (Spencer) Cone. The family believed in active support of their ideals, with service in the military, legislature and the community.
James married 3 May 1764 Alice Crocker, daughter of Ebenezer and Anne (Eldredge) Crocker of Barnstable, Massachusetts. They had 12 children over a period of 26 years. Patriot James Cone continued the family ideal by service to country during the American Revolution. He served 2nd Regiment, Connecticut Light Horse Militia, James Green’s Troop. In 1779, James Cone was detached from the 2nd Regiment to serve in the Continental Army in Westchester for the period from October 1779 through January 1780.
After the Revolution, James Cone appears in the 1790 census, but has died by 24 July 1797. His wife and most of the family located after his death to New York and points west. Alice Crocker died in New York in 1815. His son Samuel, located to Lewis County, New York; Gurdon, is found in Mexico, Oswego county in 1800; Ambrose, in Oneida county, and by 1818, Salmon, who is in Painesville, Ohio.
