Regarding Roll Call, I have an ancestor from Middletown, named Otis Fisk (died Sept 7, 1855, age 51). I am interested in finding out who his parents were, and his wife's parents.. Otis' wife was Esther Hubbard Fisk. (Esther, b Jan 22, 1806, m. July 26, 1824) Otis was a coal merchant and had his own coal dock on the Connecticut River where the freeway is now. His son Frederick Otis Fisk (b Dec 25, 1828; died __, 27, 1899, age 70 yr 5 mo, 2 days, at Jersey City, N.Y., and was bd. there) moved west to California, during the gold rush, and fathered my Great Grandfather, Frederick Sovino Fisk. Frederick Otis returned to Middletown when his father died after injuries in a train accident. He later moved to Jersey City New Jersey and had at least one other son (Walter H.) by Georgiana Love Fisk (half brother to my ancestor Frederick Sovino Fisk) I would be interested in any additional information about this second family, or descendants of Frederick Otis' siblings (I have all of the siblings names, etc.) It is possible there is a connection to the Fisk Starr House in Middleton, either through Esther and Otis, or through one of their grandchildren. I would be interested in know who I should contact to find historical information about the house and the families who lived there. Also where would be the best place to look at newspapers from the early 1800's to 1890 for Middletown? Are they online anywhere? I visited Middletown years ago,to do research.
