I am searching for the last name of Widger (will list variable spelling at end of letter). The only first name I have are James, Samuel, Peter and William. I do know that a Samuel Widger was in Stonington CT about 1704 and that a James Widger took oath of fidel., to Mass 1674. Early family history says that three or four brothers came over in the early 1600's and their names were James, Peter , William and Samuel. I also have a Samuel Widger master of the ship Nicholas 1666. I hope this is not too much information this is my first time requesting information on a mailing list. Thank you for the offer of the lookups without people like you this would be so much more difficult. Sincerely, Darlene Widger - Brant dabrant1@swns.net variable spellings of Widger: Wydger, Wedger, Wyger, Woodger, they always signed their names with Widger.

Would you be able to give me an idea of the amount of content there is for a few names? I don't want you spending lots of time transcribing. I live in northeastern Connecticut, so will be shut in with the same snow as you for the next two days. My ninth-great-grandfather was Governor Thomas WELLES of Connecticut. His daughter, Anne, married Thomas THOMPSON of Farmington. I also have direct connections to John STEELE, Stephen HART, and Thomas JUDD, all of which were founders of Hartford with Thomas Hooker. Thanks. Ken
