William was the son of Isaac and Sarah Bigelow Learned of Framingham Massachusetts and sometimes spelled his name as "Learned."
William came to the Killingly area in 1712. He was a "cordwainer" (shoemaker), sealer of leather, surveyor, deacon, selectman, and treasurer in Killingly CT. In 1719, William was an original founder of the "First Congregational Church" in Sutton CT. He eventually returned to the Killingly area purchasing land near the falls in Putnam CT. The marriage of William and his wife, Hannah was the first marriage performed by Rev John Fisk the first clergyman of the first church at Killingly.
William Larned died in 1747, leaving his homestead to his son, Captain William, who sold the same to Isaac Parks, whose name still clings to the historic hill and neighborhood.
Isaac Parks and his wife, Hannah are buried on their "own land" one mile east of what is Putnam Village and their land became the old graveyard in Killingly. This writer concludes that "Parks Hill" which was William Larned's land is adjacent to the cemetery.
This burial ground south of the Providence road was originally given to the town by Peter Aspinwall at an early date.
