From History of the Town of Gloucester by John J. Babson, 1860
Hugh Calkin, husbandman, was one of Mr. Blynman's company.  He had land in various places, but fixed his residence on the neck of house-lots.  He wad admitted freeman in 1642; was a selectman several years; commissioner for ending small causes in 1645; and representative in 1650 and 1651.  In this last year he left Gloucester; and became successively a resident of New London and Norwich; in both of which places, as in Gloucester, various trust were confided to him by his fellow-citizens."

"He came to America from Chepstow, Monmouthshire, England, in 1640, with what was known as the Welch Company. The Company seems originally to have settled in Marshfield, Mass., soon transferring their residence to Gloucester, Mass., and later to New London and Norwich, Conn. He was a man of mark, and his name comes first on a monument to the early settlers erected in Norwich some thirty years since."
"He was one of the body of emigrants called 'The Welsh Company' that came to New England from Cheapside in Monmouthshire, on the border of Wales, with their minister, Mr. Blinham. The larger portion of the Company settled at Marshfield, Massachusetts, but some removed to Gloucester, upon the rough promontory of Cape Ann. From there after eight years' experiment, most of them removed to New London, Connecticut."
