Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/403.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Carol, I think that Moodus is more of a Village than a town. It doesn't have any Selectmen or other Town Officers. It falls under the Town Officers of East Haddam. Moodus does have a Post Office, Library and Bank. When I was growing up in Leesville, we and all children within the Town of East Haddam went to School, Nathan Hale-Ray, which was in Moodus. The Ray portion of the school was opened my freshman year. Times are a lot different there now. We didn't have a gymnasium and I remember we played all of our basketball games out of town and we practiced one night a week in Old Saybrook and occassionally in East Hampton. The last time that I was in Moodus, I saw a number of schools. Harry

Moodus is it's own town, but with in the town lines of E. Haddam. Some people don't know that. My grandmother lived exactly 3 miles from where I grew up, she was in Moodus & I was in E. Haddam.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xY.2ADI/405 Message Board Post: Hello fellow-researchers: I am looking for any information regarding Josiah Warmsley and Nancy Hazzard. According to documents I have obtained, Josiah Warmsley married his second wife, Nancy Hazzard on 8/16/1863 at the Middlefield First Congregational Church, (Volume 2, page 105.) Josiah was born in the late 1700's in Rhode Island and died in 1871in Middletown, CT. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is there someone out there that can check the town minutes of Lyme/Saybrook/Chatham or other Middlesex County towns to see if a Josiah Pelton, son of John Pelton and Elizabeth Champion Pelton, gave any assistance to the rebels during the American Revolution? Also, if they could find a reference to a Pelton Plantation? I would be so very grateful. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Susan K. Spies

Sharon Marriage records have been kept in Connecticut since the late mid to late 1600's by law. All vital records (birth, death, marriage) are kept by the individual towns. You get the record by contacting the town clerk for directions and the fee charged. Birth records are closed for 100 years from the date of birth. For modern record there are set fees. I don't know how it works for older records from the 16, 17 and 1800's. Each town is a bit different.

Marilyn: Thank you for the info. Is there not a central network of marriage records kept on a state level, for example housed at the state capital?

Would somebody please tell me if there were records kept in Ct. for marriages in the year 1884? If so, how would I go about applying for that record? I think it would have been in Middletown county, but not definite at this point. Thank you. Sharon in Mn.

Dear Patience, Since September 11th 2001, it has become very COOL to honor our Nation's Hero's. I hope you will consider rejoining the DAR. Some women join chapters more to their interest instead of where they now reside. Here is a couple of brief comments about the DAR from the National site: Objectives: Historic Preservation, Promtion of Eduvcation and Partriotic Endeavor. Motto: God , Home and Country. Members are involved in many types of service projects, including immigration and literacy issues, in addition to remembering out Revolutionary Patriots. Absolutely, you can use the DAR Library. Women interested in becoming members will research there as well as historians and other interested researchers. To make sure about hours of operations, fees, rules and to search their online catalog go to this site: <A HREF="http://www.dar.org/library/about.html">DAR Library Overview</A>  http://www.dar.org/library/about.html The National site is bookmarked on the Nathan Hale Memorial Chapter DAR LInks page too. Below is an except from the DAR Lib. Overview page: Deb (Pelletier) Tajmajer <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnhmdar/">Nathan Hale Memorial Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnhmdar/                   ------------------------------------------------------------ --- The DAR Library 1776 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.        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- In a message dated 3/2/02 9:54:47 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > can non-members use the DAR Library in Washington?...i was a member but saw >

I believe it would be appropriate to add a link from any Genealogocial and Historical organizations in this county to our site. DAR members are from towns in Middlesex County with some from other counties and some from other states. The National DAR Library in Washington DC carries a wealth of lineage documents and Historical materials. The URL is on our DAR Links page. We hope to encourage and welcome new members with the NHMC DAR web site.
