Where is West Meridian, CT (or where was it in 1861)? A regimental history states that the 1st Regiment Connecticut Cavalry was "organized at West Meridian as a battalion November 2, 1861." Have searched the USGS mapping website and the Connecticut Gazetteer at rootsweb. Perhaps, the location was in Meriden, New Haven County but I don't recall an area known as West Meriden in my years living nearby. Thank you for your help. Diane dgonth@teleport.com

Hi everybody, I purchased an old Hartford Ct newspaper from a flea market this weekend ! It was printed on Nov.8, 1802 ! Here is one of the articles I found interesting ,hope you enjoy it too :)))). Joan in Tn Whereas, Jamima Ward of Winchester in Litchfield county, brought her petition to the Honorable Superior Court, holden at Litchfield , within and for the county of Litchfield, on the fourth Tuesday of August 1802, praying for a bill of divorce against her husband, Daniel Ward ,late of Winchester, now absconded out of this State to parts unknown to the petitioner, for three years willful absence and total neglect of duty; and said petition was by order of said Court continued to the next Superior Court to be holden at Litchfield, on the first Tuesday in February next, when and where the said Daniel is notified if he see cause to appear and make answer thereto. Frederick Wolcott, Clerk. October 25,1802 This newpaper is only 4 pages, mostly ads, and Political articles for different places. Real interesting tho ! thanks Joan in Tn

You have to remember that WFT gets it's information from people. They don't check it for accuracy or relevance. Whatever you send they'll publish. Your best bet is to try to contact the person that donated the information and ask them what sources they used to get the info.

I am still searching for Abiah (Abel, Abia, Abiel) LAMB. He was noted in the Nantucket VR marriage section as "of Connecticut" Marriage was before 1794 and he was dead by 1810. Wife was Deborah GARDNER, b. 1766. (dau. of Bethueal (lost at sea?) GARDNER JR.of Nantucket and Nancy HAVENS, of Long Island.) His last child and only son, Paul Gardner LAMB, was born 7/1/1802 Long Island. So in an attempt to eliminate Abiahs, does someone know what happened to Abiah LAMB son of Caleb and Hannah Samans born October 31, 1749 Groton, CT. Thank you, Michelle

Can anyone tell me how to find out where/who has the records of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Thomaston, CT? I am looking for the baptismal records of 3 Dixon children b 1870, 1872, 1873 and anything on the death of their mother, Julia, in 1874. Thanks. Alice

Hi Connecticut rooters, I found what should be information on my William Reynolds and Elizabeth Mudge, with birth dates and birth places, but the children don't even begin to match with the information that I have, which were court proceedings in the Heir and Devisee Commission Council of Ontario, Canada. The children listed with the courts are as follows: "Sarah, the eldest daughter who died without issue; William now living in the Township of Oxford West, farmer, the eldest son and the second child; George the third child who left this Province during the late war (I am guessing they are referring to the War of 1812); Lucy the fourth child and now deceased; Richard the fifth child who died at New Orleans many years ago without having been married and without making his last Will and Testament; Nathaniel the sixth child who died without having been married or making a Will; John the seventh child now living in the Bay of Quinte; and Henry the eighth child now living in the township of Dorchester and District of London. There parents are William Reynolds and Elizabeth Mudge according to these court papers. I know that Elizabeth Mudge was the daughter of Micah Mudge and Lucy Spencer, that has been established. What I found in the world family tree is that Elizabeth had been married twice to two different Reynolds, and while I question that conclusion, I am not going to rule that one out at this time. However, my question before the group is how the names that are given in the FTM-WFT report could be so different from the names given in the documents from the courts in Canada where the family moved in about 1794? The FTM-WFT report shows Elizabeth b. 28 May 1750, Sharon, Litchfield Co., CT (her mother died there, so this well could be the correct date for her birth and place of her birth) and William Reynolds, b. 6 July 1735 in Wetherfeild, Hartford Co., CT. They have circa 1770 as a possible marriage date. They have the death period for William as 1780-1827, but it has been established that William died between 30 Oct 1809 and 4 Jan 1832 in Ontario, Canada. The WFT has listed as the children of Elizabeth and William only a few: John Reynolds, b. 1766, died between 1767-1866, but I know that he was an Episcopal-Methodist Minster and lived to be 102 years of age, there are records to prove this. Pyler, b. 1768, died 1769-1858 (I have no records showing this name attached to this family), William, Jr., 1772, died 1804-1863 (I have court documents that show William, Jr., court as late as 22 March 1837..... Any suggestion as to the birth information on William, Sr., Elizabeth as being correct? What about the differences in the given names? I know my information is correct, could the information coming from the WAFT be that far off? Cheryl

Sorry, Alice. I meant to reply to all... Just thought I would post again since there are probably some new members online. My JENSEN ancestors started The New England Distributing Company and I wondered if anyone had any info on that. Thanks! Kathy
