Matthias Sention Jr. (also spelled Sension, and later as St. John) (November 20, 1628 – December 1728) was a founding settler of Norwalk, Connecticut.
He was the son of Matthias Sention Sr. and Mary Tinker.
He served as a selectman of Norwalk. His home-lot was number 25 near the cove.
At a town meeting on December 17, 1678, he was chosen to keep an inn at his residence for "entertaining strangers." He was paid 1 pound, 2 shillings and 6 pence for beating the drum on December 30, 1701.[1]
He is listed on the Founders Stone bearing the names of the founding settlers of Norwalk in the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery.
