Hi everyone I just started a new website called Blacksheep Ancestors. It's a Directory of Links for Prison & Convict Records, Court Records, Executions, Famous Outlaws, Bandits & Criminals. I have some links that may be of interest for Connecticut. It's at http://blacksheepancestors.com/usa/connecticut.shtml If you have a Blacksheep ancestor (or think you might have) be sure to check this site out. Because it's new there might be some glitches but I'll get better as I go along. I'm planning to get more records of prisoners and other institutional records in the 19th and 20th centuries as time allows. -- Tyler S. BlackSheep Ancestors http://blacksheepancestors.com/

Dear Folks, There's also a website that been around for a number of years, The Internation Black Sheep Society, at: http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/ They also have a mailing list.

Ken - As you probably know the Culver Academies (nee Culver Military Academy) was started by a mid-western industrialist, Henry Harrison Culver in the 1870's or 80's. He was in Ohio I belive, although the private high school is about an hour south of South Bend, Indiana. I'm a Culver alumnus, and attended a lecture this summer by the school's historian that focused on the founding and growth of the school, but if you'd like to contact me off line, I'd be happy to try to put you in touch with this gentleman, to see if you're looking for the same family. It's not a Connecicut contact, I realize, but my guess is since your only looking for info about 50 years or so before the school was founded, perhaps he knows about the background of the Culver family that will be of interest to you.

Hello all! I'm new to this list and am seeking some assistance. After spending a few weeks trying to get a copy of this particular volume of the Nutmegger, without success, I'm asking here if anyone has a copy of the article "Correct Ancestry of Ebenezer Smith" from the vol 23, 1990 issue of the Nutmegger. Thank you! Kess Campbell Alexandria, VA

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME THIS PAST YEAR AND TO WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY THANKSGIVING. JOYCE DEBELLE SOLOMON

(YOUNG, DEXTER, CROSBY) Hi again, OOPS .. I got so involved with telling the story of my grandmother's youth .. that I forgot to ask one of my questions: When I did a search earlier this morning for "Killingly newspaper," I came across Elaine's USGenWeb project web site on Killingly, CT. But, when I looked around the site, I discovered it had not been updated since .. 2001 (3 years ago)! And, when I looked at the query I placed there several years ago, I noticed it had the e-mail address I used .. two e-mail addresses ago. I'm pretty sure I e-mailed Elaine at least a year ago to have her place an updated query which offered my current e-mail address, and I don't know if it got posted. http://users.rcn.com/lmerrell/killingly.html If Elaine is no longer maintaining the web site, I was wondering if anyone in that area was interested in re-starting it. ..As per my other message this morning, I would like to ask which newspaper, daily or weekly, I should write to ... asking if they would print my grandmother's story. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. I will be moving to a new home next week, so I might not be doing too much e-mailing until December gets here. P.S.2 Another note to my grandmother's story is that Mrs. DEXTER's mother was .. Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) (LAVARE) CLARK, a life-long resident of Westport, MA. And, Karen EDDY is descended from Rhoda's first marriage to Epaphroditus LAVARE, and, if my "theory" turns out to have some truth to it, I am descended from Rhoda's second marriage to James CLARK. (Does anyone know if Karen EDDY is still on-line?)

How about a letter to the editor in any/all of the newspapers in the surrounding area??? Jeanine ----- Original Message ----- From: Betty To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 6:06 AM Subject: [GenCT] U.S.GenWeb site .. Active? (DEXTER in Killingly) Hello, I've written many queries about the DEXTER families in Killingly, CT, from about the 1790's on during the past few years. My queries are based on John and Mary DEXTER who probably lived on the Marvin DEXTER Farm in Killingly during the late 1800's. Right around 1890 they mysteriously moved to Boston, MA. In 1899, Mary DEXTER died, and in 1905 John DEXTER died, still living in MA. In 1892 they had officially adopted a baby girl who had just turned 3, and they renamed her to Mary Anna Clark DEXTER (from Mrs. DEXTER's maiden name). My mother and aunts started this research many years ago, and were not successful in coming up with too many "facts," only learning that most of the "stories" told to their mother for the 8-9 years she lived with the DEXTER's .. were not exactly true ! I started searching for information on the extended DEXTER family 4 years ago, and have not been too much more successful. However .... during the past month, I have a better feeling about one of my theories. I don't have time to tell the very long story of the DEXTER's from 1890 to 1905 this morning. They can probably be found in the archives of the Lists. My theory is as follows, speaking as briefly as possible: John and Mary (CLARK) DEXTER were married in CT in the 1850's, and had three daughters born to them. Unfortunately, one daughter died at Age 3 and one died at Age 13. The daughter who lived would grow up to become Mrs. Clara YOUNG, marrying Abner of another long-standing Killingly family. Abner and Clara YOUNG only had one child, a son. However, I found at least one census record which showed that Clara had had two pregnancies. I now "think" that Clara "somehow" got pregnant, possibly outside of her marriage, and did not want the baby girl. But, at least one of her parents, who had two daughters die as children, could not bear to lose a .. granddaughter. So, whether or not they had permission to do so, I think they left their life-long home in Killingly around 1890 and moved to Boston, MA. They were in their late 50's at the time (my age now). I don't know when the baby girl went to live with them, but they adopted the baby girl in March 1892. Unfortunately, the "embarrassment" of what had happened stayed with them, and, as the story goes, whenever important company came to visit, their "adopted daughter" was hidden away in the back room of the house they had bought in Melrose, MA. One day when she was a little older she overheard someone in the front hall say: "Some day that little girl must learn who her real father was !" Originally my mother and her siblings heard their mother's stories and thought that the DEXTER's had a teen-age daughter who had "gotten pregnant" and the family told everyone that the baby was the DEXTER's, and thus being raised as the "little sister" of the birth-mother. And, my grandmother remembered there being a teen-age boy in the house, "remembering" she might have had an older brother. But this was definitely not true as their only daughter at the time was married and living in Killingly. And the "older brother" most probably was their grandson, probably visiting from CT. Unfortunately, Mrs. DEXTER was not in the best of health, and she died in April 1899 of "pernicious anemia." And, I don't think Mr. DEXTER was in the best of health either. When his wife died, he took their adopted-daughter to an orphanage in Downtown Boston, and he sold the house in Melrose. I cannot find him ..anywhere.. in the 1900 Census. Either he was in a hospital someplace, or he was living in a boarding house in Downtown Boston and was just not home on the day of the Census. In 1904, he went to the Tewksbury State Hospital and died there a year later. My grandmother, adopted name, Mary Anna Clark DEXTER, lived in orphanages, probably until she was 21. At that time she went to live in her girlfriend's father's home. One of the neighbors was a young man who took quite a liking to her. On Christmas Eve, 1911, they walked to a Minister's home and asked him to marry them. .. My reason for telling this story "again" .. is that I would like to find a newspaper in or near Killingly which would print my story during the coming month. I thought maybe that the DEXTER's still living in the area, or relatives of the DEXTER and YOUNG families might "remember the past" and remember "tidbits" of information of ... what happened when !!! Thank you for your time. Enjoy your weekend ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: Some information I did not include above is: Karen EDDY in CT is descended from Mrs. DEXTER's mother. We compared family photos and there is a strong family resemblance between her grandmother and my grandmother. When Mrs. DEXTER died, her body was brought back to CT to be buried. When Mr. DEXTER died, his body was buried on the grounds of the State Hospital. While at the State Hospital, John DEXTER only had 2 relatives visit: his only sister, Mrs. Abby CROSBY from Killingly, CT, and his adopted daughter, Mary DEXTER. His daughter, Mrs. Clara YOUNG, from Killingly, CT, did not visit. Abner and Clara's grandson created a YOUNG family document, and his great-grandparents were mentioned in one sentence, and there is no mention at all of his grandmother's younger "adopted" sister. When my grandparents started having their children, their second child and first daughter was born with .. pernicious anemia ! They went on to have 9 children, but 3 died as babies. NO birth certificate can be found on my grandmother - under any name ! She was born on Feb. 1, 1889, and was reportedly "a foundling" found on the steps of a church in Boston. (I doubt this story very much.)

Have tried posting her name before. But will do so again. Her name was Electa Reed born 1800 in Ct. She married a Hustin McMillan, but I don't know if she married in Ct or maybe NY where they were living in1850. She died 1865 in Il.My problem is that I don't know where to start looking in Ct. There are so many Reed's in Ct. M.E.

I have found an interesting and informative Revolutionary War Pension Request originated by Benjamin SPERRY, b. 1762, Waterbury, CT, who immigrated by way of Montgomery and Wythe Counties, VA, and settled in Wayne CO, VA (WVA) about 1800. Benjamin SPERRY is the father of Rhoda SPERRY, b. bef April 1795, who married James VINSON, b. 1790, who was probably the earliest VINSON immigrant into Wayne CO, VA. The Pension Request was originated in 1850 when Benjamin was 88 years of age and provides a chronological, comprehensive recount of his service in the Revolutionary War in Connecticut and New York. It also contains the names of some other residents of Wayne CO, VA, and Lawrence CO, KY, in November 1850, as follows: William Ratcliff Esq, Justice of the Peace, Wayne CO, VA Rev Thomas Kirk John Wellman Esq Thomas Copley Esq George F. Hatcher, Louisa, Ky Adam Crum (an old soldier) Elias Watts I will provide a full transcript from the original handwritten document to anyone interested or who desires. It is a lengthy document but should be acceptable to most email servers. Please advise if a copy is desired via email! Jim Wright Huntington, WV
