I'll save the Metcalfs off to a folder and then start pulling them out of the main database. So Jonathan's wife should really be 'unknown'? > Regarding your other questions, have you tried Godfrey Library in Middletown? > I understand they have an excellent collection for genealogical research. > Their website is http://www.godfrey.org Unfortunately, that's a little far away - I live in Lake Orion, MI - like so many other list owners, I've volunteered to manage a list where where my ancestors lived, and I seem to have more of them from Haddam, East Haddam, and Middlesex County in general than any other place to date. Both my grandmother's and my grandfather's families lead back there from here in Michigan. > > Are you descended from Lt. Jonathan?

My line is: Jonathan Rudd (1) > Patience Rudd(2) + Samuel Bushnell > Judith Bushnell(3) + James Wright > Jude Wright(4) + Elizabeth Stone > Enos Wright(5) + Sarah Tillotson > Sibyl Wright(6) + Joseph H. Wilcox > Joseph Howard Wilcox(7) + Mary Ann Bush > William Howard Wilcox(8) + Lydia Smith > Charles Nelson Wilcox(9) + Clarissa Marr > Eva Laura Wilcox(10) - my grandmother. I'm sure that there are probably others on the list who might also be descendants, so if you would like to post the information on how to subscribe, they may be interested too. Thanks for the information. Jane
