     John Stiles was born about 1633 in England.¹ He married Dorcas Burt, daughter of Henry Burt and Ulalia March, on 28 October 1658 (Stiles notes that another source says 1657, and yet another says August instead of October).^1,4 He died on 8 December 1683 in Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut.^1,4
     He came to America from England with his parents.⁵ According to family tradition, when emigrating from England to America in 1635, a woman and her child paid only a single fare if the child were still nursing.

     Dorcas Burt was born in 1638 according to Stiles. However, Terry says she was born in New England, and that her sister Elizabeth was born 4 December 1638 in England.

(This is based on records showing that a "Darkis" Stiles married John Shethar.
