Thanks Peggy, Southington certainly is a problem for us researcher's. Maybe some good soul can shed some light on it for us, in time period 1840-1860.

We think she was born in Southington March 7, 1860, but | there is no record. However, there is a record of Henry Hendrick of | Bristol, CT marrying Dolly Norton of Southington, CT March 1, 1835. | There is also a death record in Southington First Church records of the | death of Henry Hendrick on June 27, 1871. There is also the clue that a | Henry Hendrick was found in the 1850 census. He was 60 at the time and | was a farmer in Farmington. Perhaps he was my gggrandfather. Most of | the Hendrick people were in Bristol. Was Bristol part of Southington at | one time? Were the town lines different then than they are now? My | cousin did this research a few years ago, and we have not been able to | shed any light on whether my great-grandmother was born in Southington or | not. Maybe this might help you in your search of a clue Bob, or it may | just help you to know you are not alone in trying to figure out things in | Southington. | | Peggy J.
