Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/Fairfield/13384 Surname: ------------------------- Your best bet would be to contact the Connecticut State Library or your local FHL. There are no 'county records' in CT. All records are kept at the town level. There are about 88 towns in CT, 23 in Fairfield Co alone. The counties in CT exist in name only. There is no longer any county government entity. Only a few town/cities were established after 1831 in Fairfield Co. Now there is a state park in Westport, CT named Sherwood Island State Park, possibly named after a relative? You might contact the State Parks Dept at http://dep.state.ct.us/rec/parks.htm
