dear ray....reading my notes from so long ago...has been interesting...my pictures give me a better idea....Killingsworth and Clinton are neighboring villiages...small ...small towns....Killingsworth was founded in 1663...and Theopolis Redfield is listed as one of the towns first members on a placque in the town entrance...the placque says Clinton was originally part of the town and broke off later to become a second community....in the center of town in Killingsworth there is a cemetery...on the main and only...substantial road...it is full of Redfields...we stopped at the fire dept across the street and were directed to three other cemeteries for the immediate area...both on small out of the way plots..but with good directions we found them....most notable in one burial ground was a Peleg Redfield ..veteran of the french and indian war...in another was an Eli Dro C. Franklin....also some type of military man...date on headstone 18 ....something....Also a Charles Franklin....also Jerusha ...wife of Roswell Parmalee...i dont know if your lines has the Parmalee's.....i have no picture of Theopolis headstone..so i assume i did not find it....there....on to Clinton cemetery...again in the center of town...was a large Redfield plot...with Priscilla...wife of Theopolis with a prominent spot...and nice marker....i hope this helps u....the area was beautiful...woods....and foliage everywhere....homes were sparce....let me know what your friend finds...i am very interested....thanks again...Annie Richardson

From the Sands point of view, Malcolm Sands Wilson has Sybil married to a Jonathan Rogers of New London: http://www.gencircles.com/users/dav4is/6/data/0217 I hope that helps. -R.

I must say that this site was a major disappointment. The images are from a book opened on a flatbed scanner -- two pages at once, with the text disappearing into the binding in the center.

I just uploaded the N-Q surnames from the Middletown Barbour Records - once again courtesy of Coralynn Brown who has been doing all the transcribing. In that the main page of the site was getting a little unwieldy, I've created sub-pages for each town's Barbour files. You'll find the new ones under Middletown Barbour Records A-P and the ones for Haddam, East Haddam, Durham & Hartford are all on their own sub-pages.

Sela was a veteran of the War of 1812, and may have enlisted in the army in CT. Any information concerning Sela and Lois, or their ancestors would be a great help. Thank you.

For Warren and others: the copyright page says: Originally published Boston, 1860-1862. Reprinted with "Genealogical Notes and Errata", excerpted from The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XXVII, No. 2, April, 1873, pp. 135-139 and A Genealogical Cross Index from the Four Volumes of the Genealogical Dictionary of James Savage, by O. P. Dexter, 1884. Then following that is the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. material.

Thanks, Linda! The Genealogical Pub Co editions are all reprints. Would you pls see if there are publishing date(s) in the 1800s?

My 5x and 6x gt grandparents are buried in the "Old Cemetery" in Killingworth. I understand there are three cemeteries in the Killingworth area. Is the term "Old Cemetery" proper in describing a specific cemetery, or are all of them just called Old Cemeteries? I have photos of the male ancestors' markers (Josiah and Theophilus Redfield) provided by a cuz, but I'm trying to pin down exactly where this cemetery is. Any input by you with better geographical knowledge of the area than I would be greatly appreciated! Thx. Ray Downing in Las Vegas, NV

Does anyone have access to the Middletown City Directories for 1870 to 1880 and would be willing to do a look up? Thank you, Joanne

Yes, in my edition, in Vol. 3 on page 468, the last man under "Potter" is indeed William of New Haven, had Mary and Sarah, etc. It notes Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1965, 1969, 1977, 1981, 1986, 1990. Linda

If so please look at the final POTTER entry. Is it William of New Haven, had Mary, Sarah, etc.? (Next entry is POTTS). How many different editions of Savage were there? Thanks, Warren

I am trying to contact Julie Abran. Does anybody have her email address? The message that I sent to her, was returned as user unknown.

I researched there in June of 1990 and found it wonderful. However, at that time there were limits on how many copies one could make during a day - something like only 50. Admittedly, that's 12 years ago, but it's something to check on when you arrive there. Linda K.

Below is an except from the DAR Lib. Overview page: The DAR Library 776 D Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006-5392 202-879-3229 The DAR Library was founded in 1896 as a collection of genealogical and historical publications for the use of staff genealogists verifying application papers for the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Shortly after 1900 the growing collection was opened to the public and has remained so ever since. Non-members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of the Revolution, or the Children of the American Revolution pay a small daily user fee to help maintain and to expand the Library's collections.The Library is one of the nation's premier genealogical research centers and was recently (1998) ranked the third most important of national institutions based on the uniqueness of sources in a listing by publisher Heritage Quest. In late 1998 the Library's book collection numbered some 150,000 volumes, the cataloging records for which constitute this catalog. Approximately 5,000 new titles enter the Library in any ! given year.Many thousands of volumes of genealogical compilations, record abstracts, and other materials are available only at the DAR Library. DAR members and the public have contributed these sources, building a collection of great research depth covering all periods of American history. The period of the American Revolution is naturally a major focal point, but the colonial era and the nineteenth century receive detailed coverage as well. Through the efforts of local DAR members and chapters nationwide approximately 15,000 volumes of Genealogical Records Committee Reports have entered the Library and constitute a unique source for family histories, cemetery record transcriptions, and Bible records.
