Over the past week, I saw a lot of discussion concerning transcription of the Barbour Collection. I think the idea is great. However, everybody needs to be warned that Barbour is NOT complete nor is it completely accurate. I use the collection almost every day, and in almost every town in Eastern CT., I have found people missing, parts of families missing or incorrect information about families. Even so, Barbour is a good place to start. Dave David P. Wilson Researcher of Eastern CT Families

OK Here is my interpretation. 1st rule never depend on the dates in the IGI. Use them as guidelines not facts. (not everyone knew to put "about" before an estimated date). Assuming that Roger Smith and Alice Bingham gave birth to Esther Smith in 1802 than we can assume Isaac Smith and Esther Andrews are Rogers parents. This is because (1) traditional naming practice is that the oldest daughter by named after her paternal grandmother and (2) there is a reference to Samuel Smith and Diadama Grannis as "relatives". Also Samuel and Diadama were married several years after the birth of Roger thus adding credibility to the previous assumption. At some point Roger may have been living or visiting during a census with Samuel and Diadama and was written on a census as a relative. If you look in the source information you will probably notice that two different people donated the info and that would account for the two separate birth dates. As I said before just my interpretation. With out actually seeing the information I can't be sure. Even then it can be hard to figure it out.

Hi, I have been doing some reseach at the LDS Church in Waterville, Me. what I have been using so far are the IGI Files for each state. I must admit that understanding them is a bit baffling. For example: While looking up Esther Smith born in 1802, I find her parents are Roger Smith abt 1770 and Alice Bingham Oct. 1772 Now Alice's lines are clear as a bell. However, Roger's lines have me confused. there was a refernce to Samuel Smith and Diadama Grannis( note said they married abt 1773) it appears as Parents, then a note Relative. I also found a reference to Roger Smith Relative Bingham with his parents listed as Issac Smith and Esther Andrews this Rogers birth date is 1768. Can anyone help me to clear up how to read those films? All take place in the Windham County, CT. Thanks Wanda

<A HREF="http://www.salisburyassociation.org/scm/aboutTheMuseum.html">The Salisbury Association, Inc.</A>About the Museum The Salisbury Cannon Museum tells the story of the Revolutionary War cannon factory that operated just across the road from the Museum site. The Salisbury Furnace supplied hundreds of iron cannon for Washington's army, for seacoast defense, and for arming Connecticut privateers to operate against British shipping. Ethan Allen was born in Litchfield, Connecticut on January 21, 1738. His family moved to Cornwall when he was a boy. In 1762, at the age of 24, he moved to Salisbury where, together with Samuel Forbes and investor John Hazeltine, he helped construct Connecticut's very first charcoal blast furnace just down the hill from this spot. In 1765, Allen sold his interest in the furnace and struck out for the New Hampshire grants. Each winter he returned to Salisbury, living above the general store operated by his brother Heman Allen, just next door. The Museum describes the role played by seven persons from ordinary walks of life who contributed significantly to America's fight for freedom: Entrepreneur Ethan Allen Blacksmith Samuel Forbes Bookseller Henry Knox Schoolgirl Mariann Wolcott Doctor Joshua Porter Farmer Elisha Sheldon Nurse Elizabeth Freeman The stories told about each of these persons begins on the same day -- April 19, 1775 -- the day British Redcoats fired on volunteer militia lined up on the Village Green at Lexington, Massachusetts, killing 8 Americans and wounding 10 others -- an event that sparked the armed conflict with England which did not end until the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia on October 19, 1781. return to previous page

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Goodwins of Hartford, Conn. - Descendants of William and Ozias Goodwin" compiled for James Junius Goodwin Hartford, Conn. published by Brown and Gross 1891 They arrived on the "Lion" 16 Sep 1632, which had sailed 22 Jun 1632 from England. Settled Newtown, now Cambridge, Mass. In 1635 removed to Connecticut and settled Newtown, now Hartford. Settled Hadley, Mass. in 1659. Elder William Goodwin fled from England to escape religious persecution in 1632. He came in the "Lion". He was ruling elder of the Braintree company at Mount Wollaston, Newton, MA, and was later at Hartford, CT, in 1635 or 1636, and afterwards at Hadley, MA. He was deputy to the General Court in 1634, and was a freeman 1632. He was a wealthy man. He was a founder of Hartford and Hadley and founded the Hopkins Grammar School at Hadley and built a grist mill to maintain it. In 1670 he was at Farmington. His name is on the Founder's Monument ar Hartford and he was ruling elder there and was elder at Hadley. He came from Braintree, Co. Essex, England. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The Memorial History of Hartford County Connecticut p.240 Others on the "Lion" were John Talcott, James Olmsted and William Wadsworth, also all original proprietors of Hartford. William became a freeman in Massachusetts 6 Nov 1632; deputy from Newtown (now Cambridge MA), 14 May 1634 and came to Hartford prob. in 1636, and was an original proprietor; his home-lot was on Main St., extending from the present Wadsworth St. to Arch St. he was a great man of influence in Church and State, and prominent in all the early transactions of the Hartford settlement; he purchased large tracts of land up the river, and was one of the agents of the town employed to purchase Farmington from the Indians. Gov. Hopkins appointed him one of the trustees of his will, and he therefore was one of those who had charge of establishing the Hopkins Grammar School. He was an ardent friend of Hooker, but after his death was deeply involved in the great dissention in the church at Hartford, and after several years of controversy "the Withdrawers" as they were called, under the leadership of Goodwin and Gov. John Webster, removed to Hadley (MA) in 1659. He was Ruling Elder of the church there, and remained there about ten years, then removed to Farmington, where he died 11 Mar 1673. p.277 The ecclesiastical organization known as the First Church of Hartford antedates by two or three years the settlement of the town. The earliest ascertainable date in its history is 11 Oct 1633, at which time the Rev. Thomas Hooker and the Rev. Samuel Stone were ordained respectively its pastor and teacher. William Goodwin had probably earlier been chosen ruling elder, and Andrew Warner, and one or more others, deacons. p. 279 Mr. Hooker died 7 Jul 1647, in an epidemical sickness, which prevailed throughout New England, at the age of sixty-one years, leaving behind him the memory of one of the best and greatest of men. Upon the death of Mr. Hooker various endeavors were made for a successor in the vacated office. The Rev. Jonathan Mitchell was invited to the pastorate in June 1649. With similar intent, at different periods later, the pulpit was supplied by Michael Wigglesworth occasionally in 1653 and 1654, by John Davis in 1655 and by John Cotton, son of the Boston minister in 1659. But the period covered by these years between Mr. Wigglesworth's and Mr. Cotton's services in Hartford is chiefly memorable for a quarrel in the church, led by Teacher Stone on the one side and by Elder William Goodwin on the other, and of which it seems probable that candidacy of Michael Wigglesworth was the provoking occasion. Into the perplexing and prolonged details of this controversy it is impossible here to enter. (See, for recently discovered papers in this controversy, the second volume of the COnnecticut Historical Society publications, pp.51-125; and for a general account of the affair, the History of the First Church in Hartford," pp. 146-175.) It must suffice to say that after the first recognizable point of difference, in Mr. Stone's refusal to allow the Church to vote on Mr. Wigglesworth's "fitnes for office in ye church of Hartford," and Mr. Goodwin's opposition to this restraint as an infringement of the rights of the brotherhood, the subsequent progress of the quarrel was attended by such incidents as these: the indignant resignation of his office by Teacher Stone, yet his resumption of his functions as if he had not resigned; the practical deposition from office of Ruling Elder Goodwin by the Church's choice of a "moderator;" the withdrawal of Mr. Goodwin and his party from the Church; successive ecclesiastical councils; days of humiliation and prayer appointed by the Passachusetts churches in the Hartford Church's behalf; repeated blundering attempts of the General Court to interpose, resulting in aggravation rather than healing of the strife; the final review and "determinatioon" of the matter by a council at Boston in September and October, 1659; the acceptance of the "sentence" by both parties, and the removel of Elder William Goodwin and most of his party to Hadley. The quarrel brought up many interesting questions of polity, but was to be deplored as centring, after all, in the personal element implied in the opposition of two able and excellent but obstinate men. ii 166. FARMINGTON by Noah Porter, D.D., President of Yale College. It was in 1640 that the township of Farmington began to be occupied by white settlers, principally inhabitants of Hartford. A few of these were members of the church which Thomas Hooker organized at Newtown (Cambridge), in Massachusetts, and a few years bofore had transferred to the valley of the Connecticut. ... The number of actual settlers at first was small, but it gradually increased, until in 1645 (Tunxis) received its present name, and became a taxable town, with "the like liberties as the other towns upon the river for making orders among themselves." Elder William Goodwin is listed as one of the original owners of house-lots. ii 273. ii 426.

I have been searching for what seems like forever, for a KELLEY family with a son Benjamin (Thomas) KELLEY b c 1772 NY (according to 1850 PA census) m Mary HOEL early 1800's probably NY. They appear in 1808 in Ithaca, Cayuga Co., NY. US Census of 1810 Cayuga Co. Town of Milton shows Benjamin Kelley. By 1824 they had migrated to Wayne Co., PA. I am now thinking perhaps the KELLEY family moved to NY from CT around Ben's 1772 birth as I believe there was a migration from CT to NY. It is believed the family were very active Presbyterians. I have no info as to Ben's parentage. Family lore says the KELLEY's came from England on their own ship as they were shipbuilders but no indication of a year of emigration is known. Would appreciate hearing from anyone searching KELLEY's in CT who might have thoughts on my family. Many thanks - Diane
