John D'aubin

  General Notes:

NOTE The name Dublin is in Middletown land records and family records;the marriage record shows Dubbin.. "Presumably this is a corruption ofD'Aubin, to-day commonly written Aubin, one of the many patronymicsderived from the name of Ste. Aubin(latine Albinus), bishop of Antwerp.In 1707, John Dublin petitioned the General Assembly of Rhode Island thathe might receive some allowance for the shot he received in his headwhile engaged with Col. John Wanton, in the capture of Frenchprivateers.He alleges that by this wound he lost one of his eyes. The Assembly ...voted him four pounds a year for five years; and, in 1720, the Assemblyvoted him the same pension during his natural life. This is in evidenceof the spelling ofthe name, as John was contemporary with Mrs. Savage,and might have been a nephew." (Gen. of CT Families)

John married about 1630 in Middletown, Middesex, CT.
