I think that New Haven Hospital is most likely Yale-New Haven Hospital now. You are right about him being an orderly and not an orderby. Call CT information for the listing for Yale-New Haven Hospital and ask for the records department. They should be able to assist you with what you need and how to obtain it. I hope this helped.

Hi All I am looking for information on My Grandfather, Anthony Mossauer, who employed at the New Haven Hospital in the 1900 U.S. Census. Anthony was listed as a "Orderby" I think it should have "Orderly". Could sks suggest how I might obtain his employment records from the hospital. Thanks in advance for any help Les Mossauer Moose Jaw, Sk. Canada [email protected]

My ggg grandfather James Culver served from the state of Connecticut in the War of 1812. I have not been able to find him in the Federal Records. I was told that the states have their own records for men who joined through state military units. I would appreciate any help on where I can find this information. Carolyn Annala [email protected]

To cl-arify, the land North of the Western Reserve Line (from memory the 42nd parallel) was the Western Reserve Territory. This land was origionally claimed by several states, NY, VA, CT, PA, and perhaps others. It was awarded at various times by the King of England to those states. By treaty, those states gave up their claim, but CT reserved the Western Reserve also known as New Connecticut. The Western part of it (125 mi. again from my memory) were reserved for CT families who where burned out during the Revolutionary war. The Eastern part was administered by the Connecticut Land Company, headed by the Treasurer of CT. CT promoted the area and many settlers from CT moved to that area, including my GG Grandfather who moved to Atwater, OH in 1806, very soon after the first road was cut through. Hope this explains why so many settlers in the area arrived from CT. Ralph Strong > > My grandfather was Philo Birdsey Martin b. 1821 in Ohio. It is such an odd > > name , it must be a family name.

My grandfather was Philo Birdsey Martin b. 1821 in Ohio. It is such an odd name , it must be a family name.

Hello Everyone: Today there is a lot of talk about web sites that contain dubious genealogy material. Let us not overlook those sites that have excellent material. Three members of our Society have referred us to such a site and as per our policy of passing on good information I would like to direct you to it. Although it will not direct you to genealogy lines it will answer a lot of questions you may have regarding our early Pilgrim and Puritan ancestors. How they lived, what they believed in and their contribution to the history of this great country. I urge you all to go to the site at; http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/puritan/purmain.html It contains much information on the Pilgrims and Puritans and includes additional links and a well done list of additional sources etc. Well written by Scott Eric Atkins and includes an email address of where you may ask Questions, and include Comments and/or Suggestions. Please limit your emails to the subject matter. This is first class material and belongs in your library. Congratulations Mr. Atkins for your fine work. Enjoy Harold Oliver Director America's First Families

Rachael, Glad to see someone did your lookups for you. I did not see your query until after it was answered, but wanted to say, I would have gladly done that for you. I live in the Vernon section of Rockville CT and Orchard St. maybe a little over a mile from my house. Unfortunately it has gone down hill over the years, but before that the homes were beautiful. The next time I go to post office, will look for 69 as that is the street I go up to get to Union St. where the post office is. I do mean GO UP, it is a steep hill. Will let you know what I find out about the house if you like? Carole, Vernon/Rockville CT

Hi everyone I would be very interested to hear from anyone who may have a family connection with my ancestor Joseph GRIST (born 1867, Dilton Marsh, Wiltshire, England, died 1933, Connecticut) and his wife Laura nee KEEPIN (born 1868, Wiltshire, England, died?) Joseph was mayor of Rockville in 1922-23. I have several cuttings about him kindly supplied by the library in Rockville, including a newspaper article about his nomination for mayor, entries in directories and his obituary. He apparently was a "devoted member" of St. John's Church and worked for the Springville Manufacturing Company, think this was a weaving co. They may have had children Winnifred Laura Grist and Kitchener Grist?? Thanks Rachael Wiltshire, England

Hello If anyone could do any census look-ups for me I would be really grateful. I am looking for any census information from Rockville on Joseph GRIST (born 1867, Dilton Marsh, Wiltshire, England, died 1933, Connecticut) and his wife Laura nee KEEPIN (born 1868, Wiltshire, England, died?) They married in England and may have had children Winifred Laura Grist and Kitchener Grist?? I'm not sure when they emigrated. In 1922 I believe they lived at 69 Orchard Street, Rockville, Conn. and had lived there for many years. Thanks very much, any help appreciated. Rachael Wiltshire, England
