Among the first in New London, John Elderkin kept the inn there.  He built the first corn mills, and the first and second churches in New London and Norwich. In 1661 he constructed the very first merchant vessel ever built in New London, the “New London Tryall', for 200 pounds. Many mills, buildings, and bridges of the area were built by him.
