How does one find info on James Clark ( one of the original settlers of New Haven), were he lived, what kind of work was he in? [email protected]

Hi Maria, Undoubtable the best source to find information and value about your gun is the "National Rifle Association". I'm sure they have a web page. I know they also have a firearm museum and publish a monthly magazine that has many articles about historical arms manufacturers.

Could you see if there's anyone with the surname Habershon in there? Thanks! Penny Sheffield, UK

I believe Eli Whitney also manufactured guns. ml --- elizabeth godfrey <[email protected]> wrote: > A.C. Gilbert refitted its New Haven plant to make > arms (rifles, etc.) during > WWII.

This one is pretty easy....for a better life like most of the people who came...but a few came to join relatives already here as well... << why they came over the pond? >>

Hello, Can anyone provide me with information about this type of gun and perhaps its value today. I have such a gun in my family but as yet haven't had it appraised for value. Perhaps someone may provide a range of value. Thanks so much, Maria

Hi Dorothy Many thanks - what a wonderful thing these lists are and with such great people.

Thanks so much These lists are all wonderful with some great people always willing to help! I am on 5 Scottish lists - if only the Scots had not been such great travellers it would be easier - but not as interesting.

Hi everyone This may be a very short subscription to this list. I have my great grandmother arriving at Ellis Island in 1910 in company with her children but no husband that I can find! Rumour in the family (an elderly aunt) is that they travelled up to Newhaven to work in a gun or armaments factory. I have e-mailed a couple of newspapers and some govt. agencies but so far no reply (3 months is a long enough wait, I think). Can any one tell me whether this is worth pursuing to find out why they came over the pond? A possibility is that another set of rellies were there already although who I have no idea! My ggmother's name and kids name are as follows Jean McMulroch (m.s. Young) Marion (Maisie) Watson McM Margaret (Peggy) Mitchell McM Jean Young McM John (Jack) McM My gmother Peggy and Maisie arrived back and Peggy married in 1920 so I don't think there is much hope with the census! TIA Mike

A.C. Gilbert refitted its New Haven plant to make arms (rifles, etc.) during WWII. My parents, sister and I lived on Sylvan Ave. and they worked in the A.C. Gilbert factory during WWII making the guns.

Remmington arms was also in the area

Winchester was referred to as WRA- Winchester Repeating Arms in city directories. Maybe that would be of some help. Dorothy

Marlin was the other gun amker in the area.

That would be Winchester's. My family also came here to work for Winchester's. You might be able to get a history of the company. I don't think New Haven had as much industry as some other cities but another large employer was AC Gilbert which made those toy erector sets. There was another gun manufacturer but we cannot remember the name. Judy

I am new to this list. I have an ancestor, Frederick Kimberly, born 6 Jun 1801 and died in 1841, who lived in Mifflin County, PA. I cannot find records of his parents in PA and am starting to look in other areas where there were Kimberly families. Does anyone know if he might have a connection with a Kimberly family in CT? He was married to Martha Ross. Thanks, Angela

I have the yearbook for the Meriden High School Class of 1924. If anyone needs a look-up, let me know.

The Grove Street Cemetery would be your best bet. The early burials were done on the common, but those gravestones were later moved to the Grove Street Cemetery, a few blocks northwest of the common, right near the Yale University campus. Many of the old stones have since been placed in family plots there, but the remaining stones stand in alphabetical order along the west and north walls. It is a very beautiful, well-kept cemetery, surrounded by a high stone wall and locked at night, a wise idea in a city of the size of New Haven.

the easiest is to look at the CT State Libraries cemetary listings which will tell you where he is buried. I'm new to this list and was wondering if someone might help me.

Hi Bill, Do the descendents include a George T. b. abt. 1828, m. Mary Etta Bassett, children Marshall & Emma J.? I don't know where he was born but they did live in New Haven from 1850 on. Thanks for any hints you might have. June
