Hi, I purchase this book from Barnes Noble a few month ago. A very good book for genealogy in that area. Shirleebaker@aol.com

Cherryl-- Coming from a disfunctional family (meaning not into genealogy:>)) I have many brick walls. Does the Hartford book touch on the late 1800s? I hate to impose but could you possibly check to see if there are Webbs in there... especially a William Henry Webb ca. about 1882??? Thanks so much for your effort. Jan in Texas

Cherryl Ball, I noticed on someone else's query that you would look up a name in the Hartford VT History. I also have a HUTCHINSON I am interested in. Fanny Frances HUTCHINSON was born around 1805. When she married Lemuel GOODRICH, my great great grandfather, in 1829 she was from Hartford. I do not know her parents. If you see any mention of this name, I would be very excited. She is my 'brick wall'. Thank you.

Randall: The fact that Amelia wound up in Connecticut around 1858 poses no mystery. If you will check the date, this is the time when the North and South were getting into some serious bickering. No war yet and no secession yet but serious situation. A lot of the folks from the South who were Northern sympathisers moved north to escape the rath of their neighbors, just as the Southern sympathisers from the North moved South (A couple of my ancestors did this in 1859 - Connecticut to Kentucky) There was a lot of movement by families during this time so your Amelia and her family were more than likely Northern sympathizers and moved to get away. Just a thought.

Is there a list of the members who belonged? 4. Is there a record of any kind for Davidson M. Barr, Past Commander? 5.

Dear Subscribers to the Connecticut River Valley Mailing List, The Connecticut River Valley town of Hamden, New Haven County, Connecticut was home to Charles H. COOPER in 1870, according to the U.S. Census of that year, page 260. Charles H. COOPER's wife Amelia (maiden name unknown to me) was said to be a native of Georgia! She was 31 in 1870, thus was born about 1839. It is naturally a matter of curiosity that this woman who was born in Georgia found her way to Connecticut by 1870. Actually, Amelia's arrival in Connecticut must have occurred by 1858, because she had a son William H. COOPER, who was born in Connecticut and was twelve years old in 1870. I will add that Charles H. COOPER was a son of Judah Paddock COOPER and Lavinia FOWLER, who lived in Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut from about 1821 until their deaths, which occurred in 1862 and 1867. Charles H. COOPER was born in 1834 and had a brother William COOPER, who was born 2 Jun 1821. In the Civil War, Charles H. COOPER enlisted in Company "B" of the Twenty-first Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry, 23 Aug 1861, while a resident of Suffield, Connecticut. Charles H. COOPER was medically discharged from the service at Newport, Rhode Island, 12 Dec 1862. If you have any information on Amelia and her Georgia birthplace or her parents, please share such with me! Or, if any of the items mentioned in this post interesect with your interests, likewise, please contact me, so we can explore these matters together. Thank you! Randal W. Cooper in Ohio

Hannah Fidelia Alger, daughter of Albert and Harriet (Lawrence) Alger, apparently was adopted by Henry and Adelia (Hunt) Russ and renamed Frances. She married Franklin Hutchinson and had at least two children. Where are they buried? Is there any further information on Frances and Franklin?

I can check film #0028354 next time I'm at the FHC (probably Monday) for Hutchinsons. But, Hartford, VT is The Land Of Brick Walls. And if Pat Behrens manages to find those church records, I'd really, really, really like to know about that! There are some ancestral abodes that are extremely hard to research, and Hartford, VT is a major player in that field of hopelessness.

Are there any records for this church. I am particularly looking for the birth of Fanny Frances HUTCHINSON about 1800-1810. I do not know her parents names.

Warren: So you mean he didn't make certain that all the Harley Davidsons were licensed?
