Looking for information on a Charles H. MEEKER and Evelyn SIMMONS. they married in New Haven in 1906? Looking for any information on them and there children. thanks DanaRAe

Since we have new ones on the list, I thought I would put my offer out again. I have the 1850 census microfilm on CD and am willing to do lookups for those that need it. The index on this CD only goes by head of household, so I would need to know that if possible. I would also need approx. age. of person you are looking for. Try and be as specific as possible.

Looking for information on Owen GROGAN & Bridget GUNNING of Hartford. Owen arrived in the New York in 1851 from King's County. Owen died in 1885 at the age of 50 and Bridget in 1902 at the age of 74. Both Owen & Bridget along with many of their 13 children are buried in Saint Patrick's Cemetery on Garden Street in Hartford. My problem is the cemetery office closed after a fire and records were sent to Mount Saint Benedict's Cemetery. When I called this office they told me that all the records were burned in the fire and they could not tell me who was buried there. They suggested the church office might be of some help. I went to the office and was told many years ago the church also had a fire and the records burned. According to information I have about 8-10 Grogan family members are buried there, under one headstone. I was able to locate the cemetery on the headstone project a few years ago but, the only listing is GROGAN without any names. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks, Pat

>>Is there a good source for Dorothy's parents? Goodmorning... Here is what I have..3 sources..first source is: Immigrant Ancestors p65 1st col under John TALCOTT, says: "TALCOTT (Tailcoat, Taylcoat), John, "The Worshipful" (ante 1604-1660), from England, in the "LION" with Rev.

John Winthop jr. treated her for sciatica on 30 Nov 1658 & for swollen legs on 19 Apr 1660 [WMJ 130, 198] He treated her 7 Sep 1667 for ague [WMJ 753].

She died at Hartford in February 1669/70 [Hale, HOuse 748]. 3rd source: Ancestral files give her parents as Mark and Frances (GUTTER) MOTT. After sudying this, I think I will accept Robert Charles Anderson's source. His seems to be with the sources you have listed below.. what do you think? I am sure the person who sent it into the ancestral files took it from the Immigrant ancestors...which ever way it goes, Dorothy MOTT was my 9th gr grandmother!! Mark MOTT could be the brother of her father John.. ????????????? Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com

My brother has a cane made from the Charter Oak that had been handed down to my grandfather. Without thinking much about it have always assumed that though his grandmother was a Talcott that it came through Roger Sherman. Does anyone know when and how the canes, assuming there is a number of them, came to be made and presented? Abby

Hello All, Sorry about the mix up here is the address: <http://www.onelist.com> I found this quite unique surname list, it may require membership which was easy. It has a search also. When the name you are searching for is found, if it is, it has a contact person listed. Ron

Talcott researchers, The various spellings of the surname (i.e., Tailcot, Taylcot, Tailcoat) are exactly as I found them in the quoted material in the source. So, too, are the antiquated spellings of some of the words in these quotations. Typos in the text outside the quoted material are my mistakes. I did proofread it against the original but that is not a warrant of error-free transcription, as you know.

H. Beers & Co., 1901. Pages 166-168 TALCOTT. The family Talcott was originally of Warwickshire, England. The Arms --Ar. on a pale Sa. Three roses of the field. Crest -- a demi-griffin, erased. Ar. gorged with a collar Sa., charged with three roses of the first. Motto -- VIRTUS SOLA NOBILITAS. (I) John (1) Talcott, a descendant from the Warwickshire family, was living in Colchester, County Essex, previous to 1558. He married (first) -- -- -- Wells, who died, her husband and three children surviving. John Talcott died in Colchester about Nov.1, 1606, survived by his wife and her six children. His will, dated September 24, 1606, was admitted to probate Nov. 12, 1606. His bequests indicate a large estate -- "to his grandchild John Talcoat, the son of my son the John Talcoat, late of Brantree, the sum of 40 pounds good and lawful money to be paid unto himself by myn executors at the age of 20 years if he lyve so long." Signed: John Taylcoat. (II) John (2) Talcott, son of John (1) and -- -- -- Wells, was born (probably) in Colchester, previous to 1558. Married Anne, daughter of William Skinner. He died early in 1604, and before the decease of his father, John (1), and his wife, one son and five daughters surviving. His will, 1604, Anne, his wife, being sole executrix and residuary legatee: "I John Tailcoat of Brantree in the countie of Essex, England, gives his homestead to his wife Anne, during her life, and after her decease to his son John Tailcoat. He gives to dau, Rachel Tailcoat, John Taylcot, my sonne, and to Anne Tailcot, Marie Tailcot, Grace Tailcot and Sarah Tailcot, my daughters, and fortie pounds apeece of lawful money."

Transcriber). Mrs. Dorothy (Mott) Talcott died February, 1669/70. (IV) Capt. Samuel Talcott, the second son of the worshipful Mr. John Talcott (3) and/or the, his wife, was born probably in Newtown (now Cambridge), Massachusetts, about 1634 or 1635.

He served an apprenticeship of four years with Alan S. Stillman, to learn the trade of book-binding in Hartford. After this service he was employed at wages by Edmund Hunt, or others, until 1860, when he bought the bindery of Horace E Goodwin, and began business for himself. Ten years later he bought the bindery of his former master, Capt. Alan S. Stillman, which was established in 1798, it being the oldest in the State. His brother Francis was in partnership from 1870 until his death, in 1893. This successful business of 40 years has resulted in a wide and favorable acquaintance. With his active business life he has found time for other service: two years in the city council, three terms on the board of Alderman (never missed a meeting and but once its opening). The Major is a Democrat in politics; an active member of the Methodist Church; a trustee of the YMCA; a member of the executive committee of the Connecticut Bible Society; a member of Trumbull Council, National Provident Union; a councillor in the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America; major commanding in 1878-79 the First Company, Governor's Foot Guards, chartered Oct. 19, 1771; and a member of the Connecticut Historical Society.

Joseph Talcott had received judgment against Silvanus Phelps, of Hebron, for 8-10-5 pounds, not including the cost of the court, amounting to 8s, 6d, the judgment being obtained before John Ledyard, of Hartford. The constable who served the writ was Samuel Gilbert, Jr., of Hebron, then a part of Hartford County, and the document bears his signature. In want of money, goods or chattels, satisfying the judgment, the sheriff of the town was commanded to take the body of the said Silvanus and him commit unto the keeper of the gaol in Hartford, in the County aforesaid, within this said prison, who is likewise hereby commanded to receive the said Silvanus, and him safely to keep until he pay unto the said Joseph the full suns above mentioned. The Major also has the commission of Ensign Samuel Talcott to command the trained band, dated Hartford May 10, 1735, and Joseph Talcott, Governor of Connecticut Colony, by his Honour's Command, George Wyllys, Secretary. John Talcott and his son-in-law, William Wadsworth, seized the Charter of Connecticut given by Charles II, and secreted it in the oak tree in Hartford afterward known as the Charter Oak .
