From Catalog of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of CT," by R. R. Hinman, originally published Hartford, CT 1846, reprinted by Gen. Publ Co Baltimore, 1968:
Gov. George Wyllys was the son of Richard, of Fenny-Compton, in Warwickshire, In England, he was the first of the family who came to New England. He held an estate there of 500 pounds per annum, in possession of George, his eldest son, who he left in England. In 1636, being a Puritan in principle and feeling, he became anxious to remove to CT with his family, he therefore to prepare a comfortable situation in the new country for himself and family at Hartford, during the year 1636 sent his steward (William Gibbins) with 20 men, to Hartford to purchase and prepare for him a farm, and erect such buildings as should be needed for his reception. Mr. Gibbins therefore came to New England, and purchased that elevated and delightful plat of ground, at this day celebrated not only by the location of the Charter Oak upon it, but as the Wyllys Place, at the south part of the city. He erected the necessary buildings, and prepared the grounds for a garden, where the family have uniformly resided. In 1638 Mr. Wyllys removed with his family direct to Hartford. His reputation in England had been of that high character, that in the following year he was made a magistrate, and in 1641 was elected Deputy Governor of the colony, and in 1642 was made Govenor. He was once elected Commissioner to the United Congress of the Colonies. Dr. Trumbull says,"he was a Puritan of the strictest kind, and lived in all the exactness of the most pious Puritans of the day." His death, which took place March 21, 1644, was deeply realized throughout the colony. He left a son Samuel, who was born in England, about 12 years of age at the decease of his father, who at the age of 22, was made magistrate, and became a prominent man in the colony. Gov. Wyllys, as early as 1639, was appointed with Gov. Welles to revise the laws of CT. Among the many important offices which have been held by the different members of the Wyllys family, it is worthy of remark, in this day of shifting and change, that three of the descendants of Gov. Wyllys (viz. Hezekiah, George and Samuel) held in succession, the office of Secretary of State of the Colony and State of CT 98 years. Gov. Wyllys had brothers, William and Richard. This family, so long and so favorably known in Hartford, are now all deceased, and the name become extinct in the State; - and that beautiful seat occupied by them nearly 200 years, has passed, for want of Wyllys heirs, into the hands of a gentleman no less talented than its original proprietors - a regular descendant of the Hon. Henry Wolcott the first, of Windsor. He left a wife, Mary, and children, George, Samuel, Hester and Amy. His son George remained in England, and was there as appears by the will of Gov. Wyllys, in 1644; property was given to his son George in CT, provided George should move with his family to Hartford, &c., otherwise given to his son Samuel. - Records, Trumbull, and Farmer.
From "Witchcraft Trials of CT"
It is appropriate that the Wyllys family, which played such a large role in the history of CT, should be the source of the most extensive collection of surviving original papers on witchcraft trials. These papers, which are original court depositions and records relating to theHartford Witch Panic of 1663, the Katherine Harrison Case of 1668-9 and the Fairfield Witch Panic of 1692, are preserved in the archives of the CT State Library in Hartford CT and the Brown Memorial Library in Providence, RI. The survival of these papers is undoubtedly due to the long continuity of Wyllys descendants; residence in the Wyllys mansion in Hartford from 1638 to 1828. It can only be conjectured why the original Wyllys emigrant, George Wyllys, chose to leave the luxury of his ancestral estate of Fenny Compton in Warwick Co., England for the CT wilderness. He apparently envisioned the formation of a new, Puritan society in New England as more feasible than the struggle for Puritan dominance in England. In 1636 he sent his steward, William Gibbons, with 20 men to erect a house for him in the fledgling settlement at Hartford and in 1638 George Wyllys brought his wife Mary and 4 children, GeorgeJr., Hester, Amy and Samuel, to live in this imposing 10 room mansion.
George Wyllys was very active in the official life of the CT Colony. He was elected an Assistant in 1639, 1640, 1643, and 1644. In 1641 he was Deputy Governor and in 1642 Governor. He died March 9, 1645. The eldest son, George Wyllys, Jr., had returned to England to be Lord of Fenny Compton but Samuel Wyllys remained in Hartford and followed in his father's footsteps. Having graduated from Harvard in 1653 and married Ruth, the daughter of Gov. John Haynes, he was, at the age of 22, elected an Assistant. He was reelected every year from 1654 to 1665, from 1680-1693 and in 1698. He was a Commissioner to the United Colonies in 1662,1664, and 1667. In his first year as Assistant, 1654, he sat on the case of Lydia Gilbert, who was condemned to death for witchcraft.
