- John Budd and Joseph Budd came to this country about the year 1632. On the records of London, is Joseph Budd's name, aged 15, sailed for New England. They arrived at New Haven, and John Budd's name occurs on the records of New Haven in 1639 as one of the first planters of that place, (New Haven Col. Rec. vol. 1-7-425) He subsequently removed to Southold Long Island, from whence he removed to Rye, Westchester County, New York,in 1661, In 1663 John Budd was deputy from Rye, to the General Court of Connecticut. He was the first proprietor of Apawquamus, or Budd's Neck, purchased of the native Sachem Shamarocke and other Indians. This original conveyance is on the records of Westchester County, dated Nov. 8, 1661, and was so large a grant of land, that the other proprietors of Rye were jealous, and they petitioned the General Court assembled at Hartford, (Now Conn.) not to confirm; but John Budd's influence was such that he retained his purchase. He married Kathlene Brown, and left two sons, John Budd and Joseph Budd. His will dated 13th October, 1669, bequeaths to his son John, all his portion of the mills on Blind Brook, and to Joseph all of Budd's Neck.

"JOHN BUDD was in New Haven, 1639, as a Freeman. The first we know of him on Long Island is in October, 1640. "Mr. Jones hath the lott granted unto him which was formerly granted unto John Budd of Yeancock (Southold)." In 1648 "it is ordered that John Budd have granted him 4 acres off new ground added to his other ground to make an 8 acre lot." In 1650 he is mentioned at Southampton as owner of a water mill and running the same, and is called Lt. His name occurs there no more after 1651. He moved to Westchester County, 1660, on account of some difficulty with his neighbors. The Budd house is still standing. In 1679 Lt. Budd sold it to John Hallock and it now belongs to Jonathan W. Huntting. John Budd figures in Indian deeds in Rye, May 10, 1673, and granted, 1681-2, a meadow in Rye to Jon. Horton.
