Shortly after settling in CT, (5032) William Chesebrough was the subject of an action against him by Plymouth Colonists who had settled in CT, charging that William had taken up residence with a view of carrying on an unlawful trade with the Indians, to whit, furnishing them with and repairing their firearms. The charges were part of a boundary dispute betwween CT and MA, and were later dropped because no evidence was presented. William at first supported the MA claim, but later aquiesced to CT.

William's will included several horses, 2 oxen, 26 head of cattle, and some swine, along with household items. -- http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1565855&id=I1300
