We're having the same problem with my great-grandmother, Dolly Hendrick (Knox Higgins). 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.
