Lakeview Cemetery is in New Canaan, CT. I have several ancestors there, Crissey, Weed, Seeley, Hoyt, Hustad,etc. Bridgeport's largest cemetery is Mountain Grove which I also have ancestors in, Wheelers who owned the Wheeler & Wilson sewing factory in Bridgeport, CT. You can contact the New Canaan Historical Soc., do a google search & the address is on the Fairfield County site. Sincerely Patricia (Crissey) Young

I am most interested in contacting any researcher of this family. As found in the 1930 Census - Living at 80 Clifford St., Bridgeport, Fairfield Co., CT Frank L. Whitney, age 47, age at marriage 27, born Conn., mail carrier. Lillian, wife, age 44, age at first marriage 25, born Conn. Kenneth, son, age 19, born CT, occ: machinist at machine factory. Harold B., son, age 17, born CT, occ: sales clerk, electic appliance. Florena, daughter, age 13, born CT, attends school. Henry White, father-in-law My great-great uncle, Henry WHITE was born in Saint-Cesaire de Rouville, Quebec in 1861, the son of Marc LEBLANC & Rosalie LABRECQUE. I have this ancestry to share, as well as family photos. Henry's family, as found in 1900 - 1900 US Census at Bridgeport, Connecticut, Fairfield County, Roll 132 Book 1, Page 239- Living at 498 Hallett Street: Henry F. White, age 38, born Sept. 1861, married 17 years, born Canada Fr., arrived in US 1864, in US 36 years; occ: polisher, silver; months not employed: 0; can read, write and speak English; rents in a house.

(French spelling would be Louis) They had at least 2 other sons: Hillaric, b. about 1901, and Leroy, b. about 1906, both b. in Conn.

SHEEHAN who was born 23 March 1919. This younger Fred E. married a woman by the name of Edna.

Baptism date: 11 July 1773 Father: Benjamin Stilwell Mother: Mary Child: Ard sn. Place: Great Barrington I found this on Ancestry.com. Also, Benjamin Stilwell from Alford (which adjoins Great Barrington) apparently died at Valley Forge, on 20 Jan 1778. I sent off for his service record, but it doesn't give any more info on wife, children, etc. He was a sergeant in Alvord's Company, 4th Massachusetts Regiment, William Shepard, Colonel. My oral family history says he died at Brandwine, but perhaps he was wounded at Brandywine and died at Valley Forge. I found him listed on the Valley Forge Nat'l. Park website.

I am looking for Lovejoys. They most recently were in Oswegatchie, New York. Before that (1800 and earlier) they were in Ottowa, Canada. They say before that they were from Connecticut. They went to Canada in the 1760-1780's. I would appreciate any information on any Lovejoys from these places. Thank you. Patsy
