hi group ,, I am about to embark on a search of records , that I have not ever done before , and need a couple of questions answered .... assuming I am a newbie at this ( which I am not ) ... Where would I have the best chance of finding a marriage record for ' John Mason and Hannah Hawes ' , about 1670s in Hartford Connecticut , I am thinking probably in the " Second Church " , Hartford ..... Would this show who their parents are ?? ...... The Ancestral File shows a couple by these names , BUT it is wrong time and place .... John and Hannah had a child named Lydia that married John Seymour , I also need this marriage record . , Any body got help , Phil

Would anyone have any information on the ancestors of Winifred Smith, d. 1928, who married Arhur W. Chambers, and whose father owned half of Bradley and Smith Candy Company, where the lollipop was invented in 1908??? Thanks for any tips. Does anyone have a New Haven Business Directory for 1900+ which would give the full names of the owners. Thanks in advance. Sue Smith

Hello I would like to compare notes with anyone who has information of John Parmelee, founder of Guilford, and his son John Parmelee. Thank you. Tracy

Hi All, I just added another surname to my tree. Does anyone out there have the name KIDNEY in their files. Sarah (aka: Sally) A. KIDNEY, born abt 1829-30 in NY, but lived in Sharon, CT. She married William WHITFORD in 1847. Cynthia clwhitford@msn.com

Hi, I will be visiting in CT the beginning of June and would like to contact any descendents of the original settlers of Milford. I descend from Thomas Bassett and probably all the rest of the original settlers. Baldwin, Oviatt, Canfield, Hines, Morris, Tibbals, Green, Plumb, etc. Please e-mail me if you are still in the area. Thanks June

Hello Everybody, Again, I cannot open the GenConnecticut. I downloaded Acroread and still can't open it. I think I'll subscribe under the mail mode. In the mean time, could ALums and mswinters send me their post? I would appreciate it very much.

I'm a newcomer to the list and anxious to "jump" right in. I've been searching for the parents of a Jesse Benton, born "somewhere in Conn" in 1789. He appeared in the NYS census in 1820 and from thereon, I have a lot of information - but nothing before 1820. It's as if he suddenly "appeared" in 1820. Surely someone else out there is searching the same family. I am helping a Mr. Benton who has searched for more then 35 years for the riddle Who were Jesse's parents. Mr. Benton is an elderly man who would like to solve this puzzle before me actually goes to "meet" this Jesse. We are hoping that with the aid of the computer, we'll come up with the answer to this riddle.

Golden Hill Reservation in Fairfield, Tribal headquarters in Trumbull, Ct. Wappinger or Mohican were in that area, the Schaghticoke are there now. Also possible one of the tribes on Long Island, The Poospatuck, (Suffolk Co, Mastic, Long Island, NY) and Shinnecock, (Suffolk Co, Southampton, Long Island, NY), are closest to Stamford and Darien, Ct.

I am searching for any info on Abisha WASHBURN who was married to Isabella CLAPP they had one son Chauncey who was born in Springfield Massachusetts May 17, 1834 they moved to Henry county Illinois in 1836.

A while back someone wrote about Rebecca Greensmith, widow of Jarvis Mudge, who was hanged as a witch. Several years a relative of mine wrote a timeline on her and since it was not my work I wrote for permission to send it to the person. I just got that permission because the person was out of the country, now I don't remember who posted that query. Please e-mail me if you are interested. Ann Tappero jatappero@aol.com

Hello Everybody, I can tell you that this has been the greatest thread for me. I haven't done a whole lot of research on these lines. My surnames as well as me are all from the South. When my 4th great grandmother Harriet Ruggles Gold married Elias Boudinot the Cherokee Indian in 1826 Cornwall, CT that was my entry into the Northern states. John Talcott and Dorothy were the 4th great grandparents of Harriet Ruggles Gold. Let me ask y'all, "What do you think of the source below which states that Dorothy was a Smith?" I've not read everything so I may have overlooked perhaps that Dorothy Mott was married to a Smith then to John Talcott. Would someone also explain to me what is the history behind the, Submission To The King's Authority Recommended.

John Talcott [Note 4] John Allyn Sam Talcott Note 4. John Talcott was one of the most prominent men in Connecticut, in his day, and figured largely in the military history of the colony. He was the eldest son of John and Dorothy (Smith) Talcott, who emigrated from England in June, 1632, with their two children, John and Mary, and settled at Cambridge, Massachusetts, where another son, Samuel, was born about 1635, and soon after the family removed with the "great emigration" to Hartford, where the elder John became a man of consequence. The younger John, the signer of the petition, was made an ensign in 1650 and a freeman of the colony two years later; in 1660 he was a deputy to the General Court; and in 1661 promoted to the rank of captain. In 1665 he was chosen a magistrate, and was several times re-elected; he was also chosen treasurer of the colony in this year and continued in office till the spring of 1676, when he resigned his position to take the chief command of the army of three hundred and fifty men which the Assembly ordered to be raised for the defence of the country against the Indians, with the rank of major, and through out the war rendered efficient service. From 1669 till the breaking out of Philip's war, Major Talcott was often a member of the Congress of the New-England colonies. He married first, Octo. 29, 1650, Helena Wakeman, who died June 22, 1674; for his second wife, Novem. 9, 1676, Mary Cook, by both of whom he had a large family. At the time of his death, which occurred July 23, 1688, he held the rank of lieutenant colonel. He left an estate of about £2000.

Probably the Pequots, altho' there were several tribes in the general area of Connecticut and Rhode Island. A good resource is the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center.

William Hurd Hillyer, author of "James Talcott Merchant And His Times", New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1937, says "Dorothy was the daughter of John & Alice Mott, of Eyland and Wiston, County of Suffolk. Her mother, Alice Mott, was a daughter of Thomas Harrington. John Mott was the son of Mark Mott, of Braintree, who traced his ancestry in Essex to John Mott of Shalford, holding land as early as 1375." 1995, According to Richard Clarke Roberts, Connecticut State Library, Dorothy was the daughter of John Mott b. abt 1575 & Alice Harington d. aft 1630.

And after my departure this life, I do give and bequeath unto my son Samuel Talcott the arrears of what is unpaid of eight pounds per annum out of the rent of land at Wethersfield, assigned by my deceased husband to be paid by him during my natural life.

I can't find a Dorothy Smith in Chapin's book about Glastenbury. A number of Smiths are given. For example: Rev. Henry Smith, who was father of Mary Smith who married Elizur Holyoke; see entries in this tree under these names. Listed on p. 46 by Chapin as residents in Wethersfield from 1634 to 1673 are, besides Rev. Henry Smith: another Henry Smith "went to Stamford" (Hinman's *Puritans*); Jonathan Smith "owned land in Eastbury, 1673"; Joseph Smith; Philip Smith "went to Hadley" (Hinman); Philip Smith (same?) "owned land in Eastbury, 1673; Samuel Smith, Sr. "went to Hadley" (Hinman); Richard Smith, Sr. "owned land in Glastenbury and Eastbury, 1673; Richard Smith, Jr. (Trumbull, II. 520); William Smith (Trumbull, I. 128). Chapin also has (p. 192-3): SMITH, BENJAMIN. SMITH, JOSEPH. SMITH, SAMUEL. These three men were brothers, unless Samuel may be an exception. Richard Smith of Wethersfield, whose will, dated 1680, was proved in 1698, was the son of Richard. Richard, Jr., had the following children, and perhaps others. All these are mentioned in his will, except Benjamin. Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, Hester, who married a Strickland, and Beriah, who married Richard Fox, Sr. Joseph died without children. ..... Samuel Smith married Jane Tudor of Windsor, Oct. 28, 1680, and had [8 children listed, no Dorothy]. ..... Who Benjamin Smith married, we have not learned." [This presumably was Dorothy's father *according to Chapin*.] "John, son of John and Anne (Skinner) Talcott was born prior to 1604 and married Dorothy Mott, daughter of John Mott and his wife Alice Harrington of Eyland and Winston, County Suffolk, England. This John Mott was the son of Reverend Mark Mott of Braintree and grandson of Thomas and Alice (Meade) Mott of Bocking, County Essex." --- Sandra Sutphin Olney, *Passengers on the "Lion" from England to Boston, 1632, Bowie MD (Heritage Books Inc) 1992, part 2, p 487 Internet from Tom Harris (cw811@cleveland.Freenet.Edu, 25 Apr 94) gives Dorothy as daughter of Mark MOTT and Mercy TICHBOURNE, source Wright's *History of the County of Essex, England*, but says he got information from a privately published TALCOTT genealogy published in the 1940's. He goes on to to say this Mark's father was also Mark MOTT who married Frances BRETT. This is very confusing, as I have Frances BRETT marrying John PYNCHON/PINCHON b abt 1565 Writtle, Essex, marrying Frances BRETT of Sterling, Essex (this db). This Pynchon was the father of the notable William PYNCHON, original settler in New England. Source is Jacobus & Waterman, *Hale, House and Related Families*, 1952, p 723-4. Another msg from Tom Harris (26 APR 94), after I told him about my entry for Frances BRETT gives: Thomas MOTT/Alice MEAD(E) --> Rev. Mark MOTT/Frances BRETT (Harris says "this is what my source said, but I found it very odd as well") --> Rev Mark MOTT [again, presumably JR]/Mercy TICHBOURNE --> Dorothy MOTT/John TALCOTT. But, as he says, in the *Lion* book, it goes Rev. Mark MOTT/Frances ? --> John MOTT/Alice HARRINGTON --> Dorothy MOTT/John TALCOTT. But according to Jacobus and Waterman, *Hale, House and Related Families*, 1952, p 749-750, the line goes Thomas MOTT/Alice MEADE --> Mark MOTT/Frances GUTTER --> John MOTT/Alice HARINGTON --> Dorothy MOTT/John TALCOTT.

In Ledyard and Niantic - Mashantucket Pequot In North Stonington - Eastern and Pawcatuck Pequot In Bridgeport - Golden Hill Paugusetts (they have another reservation but the I can't remember where) In Uncasville - Mohegans North of Hartford there is a tibe but the name escapes me. In Rhode Island there are the Naragansett On the CT and MA border the Wamponag Indians were migratory until they were forced onto reservations. Your ancestry could be any of the above.

Hi Everybody, I tried to open my copy of GenConnecticut Vol. 99 Issue 126 and I couldn't get it to open. There are several postings about the Talcott/Mott surnames I want to be sure and get. Would someone please send me a copy? Thank you, Helen GradashY@aol.com
