I found my ancestor in the 1910 census Hadam Township. The entire page of names are listed under Temporary Home 2-9. Harrison and wife have a granddaughter plus a father in law living with them. Is this the poorhouse? Can anyone answer this question? Thank you, Nana (NAY-na) RUTHERFORD Redell

Does anyone know if any of the records of Pine Grove Cemetery, Middletown have been published? Many of my HUBBARDs and WETHERBEEs are buried there. I'll type if we can get our hands on some transcriptions! Dianne

I'd never heard that, but apparently your supposition is correct. Check the overlaps in this list for McDonough http://www.rays-place.com/cemeteries/711-19.htm and this list for Old Riverside http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/source_files/old_riverside.htm So where does the name "McDonough" come from? -- Nobody of that name is buried there. And note that many of the Old Riverside gravestones apparently were made of Portland stone quarried across the river, the same stone used a couple of centuries later for the brownstone houses of NYC -- i.e., easy-to-carve sandstone. The NYC houses show the ravages of time after little more than a century, with the exposed faces spalling, often badly. My suspicion is that many of the earliest Old Riverside gravestones simply spalled away into little piles of sand. Slate gravestones fared much better, as seen e.g. in Old Granary Burial Ground in Boston. I once took a rubbing from Mother Goose's stone http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=1498 -- when it was still legal to do so. My then-girlfriend helped (or maybe I helped her?) and later got custody of it. :-( Best, Warren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Wyatt" <m2wyatt@sbcglobal.net> To: <CTMIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 2:30 PM Subject: [CTMID] OLD RIVERSIDE VS.

Does anyone have any information on the Bowe families that lived in Middletown CT in the mid 1800's? My gg grandfather, William Bowe Sr., was born about 1830 in Ireland. His son William Bowe, Jr. was apparently born in North Smithfield RI in 1852 but I can't find where his father, William Bowe, Sr., lived during this period. I am thinking that might be the William Bowe of Middletown or somehow connected with this family. Does anyone know where in Ireland the Bowe family of Middletown CT came from? Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of William and Mary Bowe born someplace in Ireland ___________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.

And I heard from someone on another list that at the State library in Hartford that they have a stand that was made to hold books while you use a degital camera to take the pictures. I don't have one so I never asked about that. That would be really great eliminateing the copying cost.

Warren & anyone living in centeal CT. At the State Library in Hartford and at the Godfrey Library in Middletown they have copies of the Hale Collection of Cemetery Inscriptions. The Hale Collection was a WPA project during the depresson, and with being paid for with Federal funds is not copyrighted. The cmemtery inscriptions that Jane has online for Middletown, East Haddem and Westbrook came from the Hale Collection. If you are at one of those Libraries and can copy another one for Middlesex County and send it to Jane I think she would appreciate it. Would be even better if one could be typed up and sent to her. A lot of early things never got recorded in town records so for some the Hale Collection is the only source of the info. Over the years Jane and I have done a lot of copying of things to add to the web and enjoyed it. Someone out there may find it rewarding also. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/ Ray http://www.rays-place.com Warren Wetmore wrote: >Yep, Ray -- Cousin Jane has been our listmom forever and has done a >bangup job with the list and her web site.

If you decide to photo-copy and transcribe cemetery records, I would recommend taking a list with you of the cemeteries Jane already has on her site. Several in Middletown, Haddam, etc. etc. You don't want to duplicate.
