Although this 1766 colonial map shows Connecticut
nearly a century after the 1669 enumeration, it displays most earlier townships fairly well.

         of Freemen

MILLS (Milles), Simon II
Windsor, Connecticut

Simon was born (1637) and lived in Windsor, the area of the  blue circle.

This precursor to later Censuses listed all freemen within the town's jurisdiction, so any male indentured workers in the township would not be included.  Women, of course, were simply ignored, because they could neither vote or participate in town business — at least officially or in public.

The enumeration included 113 freemen in Windsor proper, plus 13 in the satellite village of Masaco just to the northwest, which was later named Simsbury.

Note that the Simon (at the red dot below) is shown as Milles — standard usage conventions were not yet established in English — generally, spelling was a phonetic free-for-all.

Bissell, Phelps, Pettibon[e] and Buell families in Windsor, Simsbury, and later Norfolk townships.
These forebears are pointed to below with blue dots.
