It is possible, but a lot of my research is not recording on Ancestry.com, so I don’t have that good comprehensive record of the early Massachusetts or Connecticut settlers.
I just found out that my great x3 grandfather acted as a bodyguard to Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons.
You might want to check out the New England Historical and Genealogy Society. They have very good records for early Massachusetts and Connecticut settlers.

You also might want to try the local Mormon office. They have excellent records and have some good people who know the records and it’s free.
I LOVE IT! That is a GREAT story!
I live in MA now and their early records are superb. The town halls actually have the original handwritten records that I’ve gone to copy. And the town books are unbelievably valuable. RI is much tougher because they put out data in waves and you need to go through book after book to get the original information. But every library in MA has the set of town genealogy books, minus the ones that have disappeared over the years.
