All that I have been able to find is just the two entries in the vital records and church records. Since this is what I would consider an "early record" {for me anyway} I am not sure if I should look for more info. I am thinking that this is all I am going to find. We are trying to track down Philip Cronan and his brother Thomas. Judy

Dear Judy, Did you find the marriage record at the state vital records office? I have my grandparents marriage license of 1890 from the New Haven vital statistics at 165 Church Street, New Haven. I don't know how far they go back.

I was just thinking about the Springside Home. You probably know that it is listed in the census with all residents listed. The city directories have individuals who "boarded" there. I don't think you are going to find any other records. Unless they had a journal that was kept for payments. It was just a place where folks went who had no other place to go. Judy

Springside Home was the old town farm (poor house or alms house} I think it was torn down sometime in the 1950's. The historical society put a picture of the place in the paper and I saved it but of course, now I cannot find it. It was a very large house at the corner of Wintergreen and Springside Avenues. If you are familiar with the area, it is where The New haven regional center was and the easter seals Rehab center--Right by the base of West Rock I was told that it had a pig farm but i am not sure how true that is. I will continue to search for the picture. Contact the New Haven Historical Society also and they might have some records. Judy

Yes, the Springside Home was the New Haven poor farm. My great-great-grandsmother died there in 1902. >Does anyone know what Springside Home was?. It lists children from 6mos to >very old, m and f.

Hopefully, this is an appropriate "mystery" for the list: The Honesdale Citizen, a newpaper in Honesdale, Wayne County, PA published the following Death Notice on 14 Oct 1869: "Watts -- Cheshire, Conn. (30th nit.?) at the residence of her father, Matthew Curnow, Esq., Katie W., wife of Graham Watts, of Honesdale, Pa., aged 27 years 3 months 26 days." Graham Watts b. 22 Dec 1843 and the only Graham Watts in Honesdale at that time, lived in Honesdale most of his life. Except from Dec 1861 to Jul 1865, when he served with Company C of the 67th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, he can be accounted for in Honesdale until his death in 1921. Honesdale research has not yielded any information of a marrriage before 2 May 1871, when Graham Watts married Emma Rogers, also of Honesdale. The obituary of Graham Watts said "he was married three times", yet only two marriages, one to Emma and, much later, to Elizatheth Shupper, can be accounted for. Questions: Was there a Matthew Curnow, Esq. in Cheshire in 1869? Did he have a daughter, Katie W., who died, and was married to Graham Watts of Honesdale, PA? Any insight you may have for me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks... Liz

My Amann family immigrated to Meriden in steps beginning in 1881 (the father/husband Morand Amann came over first and then the mother Elise and their two children Mathilde (my great-grandmother) and Louis immigrated in about 1886). I know there are other Amann families residing in Meriden, or who have lived in Meriden in the past, and I would be interested in learning if we are related in any way. I know that Elise and the two children were born in Etobon, Alsace region in what is now France. But I don't know where Morand came from. His death certificate is blank (well, it has a wavy line in the space for Birthplace - Town), although it does claim that he was born in France. For various reasons, I don't rely too heavily on that piece of information. Any information would be greatly received. Thanks, Carolee Smith New Jersey (but a native Connecticuter)

The Gibson, Gardner, Stegelie etc, Smith & Webster are from the Dundee area in Scotland and migrated to New Haven Ct in 1865. The Haut's are from Germany and migrated here some time before 1874. The Clark's originated from England very early 1800. The rest of the names are associated with the Gibsons, or the Hauts. ==== CTNEWHAV Mailing List ==== Need to reach Colleen, the discussion coordinator?

Hi Theresa, I am constructing an Extended Hull Family Database (EHFD) which includes Elizabeth Twitchell who married (1) 4 Jul 1824, Oxford, CT, Horace Franklin Hull and (2) 31 Jan 1847, Naugatock, CT, Lawrence Spencer Hull, Sr. They were both the sons of Dr. Nimrod Hull of Wallingford, CT and Waterbury, CT. Elizabeth was d/o Gilbert Twitchell and Jerusha Spencer. Jerusha died, 9 Jun 1822, in Oxford, CT. She was d/o Jehiel Spencer, Sr. and Anne Patience Tomlinson of Derby, CT. I don¹t know how Lawrence Spencer Hull got his middle name, but I¹m looking. Also Wooster Twitchell married Elizabeth Hull, 11 Oct 1764, at Derby, CT. He was s/o Joseph Twitchell and Elizabeth Tomlinson; and she was d/o Daniel Hull, Sr. and Elizabeth Lum. I know how the two Hull families were connected but I don¹t yet know how the two Twitchell families were connected. I¹m working on it. My EHFD has over 107,000 people in it and is growing at the average rate of 35 per day.

I am working on the family of Gilbert Twitchel and Jerusha Spencer whose sons were David, William and Jabez, and daughters were Elizabeth Twitchell Hull, Nancy Twitchell Bradley, Mary Twitchell Bronson, Jane Twitchell Luther, Finette Twitchell Burr, and Sarah Twitchell Bradley. Family records and the census say that this family lived in Oxford but I cannot find birth records in the Barbour collection nor the parents' marriage record. The oldest child was born circa 1803 and Jerusha died in the 1820's and Gilbert in the early 1840's in Ohio. The published history of the Twitchell Family of Connecticut has an odd date for the marriage and no documentation for any information given. Jerusha had a son Henry Spencer prior to her marriage to Gilbert. I am a descendent of Henry but the family has done a good job of covering its tracks. Is there anyone out there who connects to this family? Theresa Liewer Ankeny, Iowa

Dear Michal, I expect you found the information about Robert Andrews in the LDS Family Search. If you have access to the 1830 Federal census, check for Andrews in Cheshire, CT. If not, send an e-mail to Deborah Tajmajer, NathanHaleDAR@AOL.com. She is wonderful at finding records. You might also go the the Cheshire, CT website and contact the town clerk. The Historical Society might be able to help too. Good luck.

Time to put in My Brick Wall I think. I am looking for information on Carlton Leslie Graves, born: October 2, 1856 in Madison Connecticut. He is the Youngest son of William Graves and Emily Dickinson. He had 9 siblings: Sarah Ann, 1834, Elizabeth 1835, William Trowbridge 1837, Melissa Emma 18839, Oliver Gilbert 1941, George Dallas 1843, Alethe 1846, Benjamin Franklin 1849. This information I have gotten form Alvin Talcott's book Families of Early Guilford, Connecticut. Carlton Leslie Graves married Sarah ( Sadie) Frances Benedict June 30,1883. Sarah is listed as being from Warren CT. on Marriage record. She was married before and had one child. I have not been able to find any information on Her first marriage or child. Carlton Leslie Graves died November 3, 1894 I think maybe in Madison. My Grandmother, Goldie Bell Graves Green is the only child of Carlton and Sarah. I would appreciate information on the Parents of Sarah. Thanks, Nancy Jones ( in sunny Florida) mytedy@tampabay.rr.com
