Delores: While I can't help[ much with the other lines, I can tell you that your Thomas Trowbridge line is handled quite well in Weis' "Ancestral Roots"...being traced through Thomas' mother Agnes Prowse back through the Beauchamps to the de Clermonts, the Namurs and thence to Chalemagne (and beyond). If you don't have the line, I would be willing to post it (either in a private e-mail or here if others want to see it). BTW, I also descend from Thomas through his son James to Caleb to Sarah (m. to Gen. Artemus Ward ) and so forth. And since we're posting long ago ancestors, my two main Connecticut lines are Orcutts who helped settle Orcuttville, Stafford Springs, CT, and Pixleys. If anyone has any information on Samuel Pixley of New Haven who had Emmeline Jennette Pixley m. Joel Hitchcock Orcutt, I would appreciate it. Samuel has been my "brick wall" and since I am in Maryland, I can't get to the CT land records which I am sure would provide clues. BTW, Sam'l Pixley married Betsey Hotchkiss, another temp. dead end for me (mostly because I haven't really worked on that line). The Orcutt's themselves go back to William Orcutt who showed up in Massachusetts somewhere around the 1660s, from Fillongley, Warwickshire, England. He was the nephew of Susannah Bickley who married Samuel Edson (most folks have carried on with the tradition that Susannah was an Orcutt and Samuel's sister, but recent genealogical digging by J. Orcutt has pretty much disproved this, with Susannah's sister Margaret Bickley marrying an Awcotte in Fillongly who then had my William, and hence he being Sussannah's nephew). Other lines include Washburns through Connecticut (Molly, wife of Stephen Orcutt, who fought in the Rev. War -- she descended through Solomon of Bridgewater and Tolland CO.), and Cushman's (Lydia who was dau. of William Cushman and married Stephen Orcutt's father Daniel)..

Hi Jeanette: You and I must be related many times over. Much of my family also came from Brookfield, before they wandered away to New Haven and/ or upstate New York. Here is some idea of what I have on the surnames you mentioned: 1. Kellogg not well organizied; mostly composed of marriages with Callenders or Kents. If you are interested in either of those two families, I can help you. I would like to know more about the Kelloggs who intermarried with Callenders (especially) or Kents. I have Callenders back to John 1637-1724 and Rev. Elllis 1640-1728, and Kents back to Richard 1526-1609. 2. Botsford back to Richard 1545-1607. 3. Bulkeley back to Joseph born about 1648 who married Martha Beers. Beers back to Marton Bere, living in 1486. 4. Wheeler back to Lt. Thomas who d. before 1654 and John c. 1590-Sep/Oct 1674. How does that strike you? -- Cordially, Bob Dann

Thanks, everyone, for your input. I was beginning to think there was something wrong at my end. Joy Joy Bold

I agree but I have rather been putting it to the fact that it's summer vacations, beach and outside in general etc. It was also a long holiday weekend. Stefanie

This is happening all over...see reply I received from a list mom - The Lists2 server at RootsWeb has been down since Saturday so no mail is moving on that server, which houses Hood River and I presume also Wasco. According to the message at Help Desk, all the messages are being queued for delivery when the problem is solved. They're not anticipating the loss of any messages, but when they do start flowing again you might want to do a check of the archives to make sure all of your messages got through. When this has happened before the messages usually dribble in slowly and out of order because of the logjam. I see that your Looking Back columns from June 6 and June 20 did get through to the Hood River list on 7/4.

According to the "Inscriptions from Gravestones at East Haddam, CT" of the Warner Graveyard, there's listed an : Amasa B. Clark, son of Mr. Amasa & Mrs. Charity Clark, died Oct. 3, 1813, aged 10 months; Charity, wife of Amasa Clark, died Aug. 6, 1825, AE 37; and Charity B. Clark, daughter of Mr. Amasa & Mrs. Charity Clark, died Oct 7, 1813, aged 10 months." Has anyone studied this Amasa and Charity Clark line?

My brick wall is James ABBOTT who is my Great Grandfather. His civil was record states "I was born 1811 in Hartford CT". This is the only thing I have on him. I know his family was in Butler Co. OH in 1818 as records Huron Co, OH say this. A brother was born there in 1818. I am assuming that the family was part of the ones from CT who went to Ohio as part of the "Firelands of Ohio" families after the Revolutionary War when parts of CT. were burned. This is purely speculation on my part from reading old histories of OH. Any information on any ABBOTT families would be appreciated. Thanks. charlotte this email from char at [email protected]

I just uploaded the last third of the New Haven Inscriptions to 1800. There are a total of 951 inscriptions in the three files, the majority of them with notes identifying parents, spouses and/or birth dates. Because the original work was published in 1882, there are probably a number of stones listed that no longer exist after 122 years - many of the stones are from the late 1600s and early 1700s.

January 1646/47 is correct. Written this way does not mean 1646 or 1647, it means what it says. So as to understand, the old calendar's new year was at the end of March. Dates written in this way were for the year January 1646 but since January was after December 1646, it would be for, as we now understand it, January 1647. England and the Colonies did not adapt the Julian Calendar for quite some number of years, because of course, England was under the infulence of the Church of England and of course Julian was Pope Julian of the Roman Catholic Church.
