HUGH²BOND ROE Jr. ( Hugh¹Roe, Sr. )  b. 1617, Devon, England, was the first generation of the Roe/Rowe family to settle in America.

Hugh Bond, Jr was the son of Hugh Roe, Sr. and Elizabeth Bond of Devon, England. m. (1) Abigail (last name unknown), who died 1653‑54 and (2) Abigail Stow (1620 - 1689), who Hugh, Jr. married around 1654-5.

He first settled in Weymouth, MA abt. 1674 or earlier he moved to Suffield, MA /CT and received one of the land grants of 40 to 60 acres typically given depending on family size and status. He is among the original 30 families identified as a proprietor [original land grantees] of the Town of Suffield, MA which later became Suffield, CT. He was in Suffield in 1674 and was a voter at the first town meeting.

Hugh may have lived on Martha's Vineyard in 1658; was a Sealer of Leather in Hartford in 1663 and appears to have been a freeman in Hartford in 1669. The profession of Leather Sealer was the town officer who had authority to see that all sales of leather were made honestly as to quality and quantity. The sealer of leather was authorized to put his "seal" or stamp of approval on items he inspected, tested and certified.

The family settled in Suffield, MA, which in 1749 became Suffield, CT, abt 1671-2. Hugh was noted in the first town meeting on March 9, 1681. His land consisted of much of the SE portion of the present inner town of Suffield, or 80 acres. Suffield was founded by John Pynchon of Springfield, and was first called Stony Brook Plantation. It was burned by the Indians in 1675. The settlers returned in 1676 at which time Hugh petitioned to be exempted from military service on the grounds of infirmity. Hugh opened a tavern, probably the first in Suffield, in 1681, and was a constable in 1684-5-8. "I should have asked them when they were alive."
