I think it is Madison Connecticut (Middlesex County). It has a beach there called Hammonasette. Connecticut was once all Indian tribes.

Hi Marilyn, I checked Quintin Publications and they had it for a reasonable price, and it was on sale. So, I ordered it yesterday afternoon. It looks like Newman wrote a book about each DEXTER patriarch. I had never heard of Newman beyond that reference. So, I'm going to try to learn more about him. Thank you for writing and for your observations.

Betty, I checked the book out on World Vital Records. First, the author is a prolific writer of Genealogy books. Second, I started to read the book on the internet. If you can find the book at a reasonable price (and I did through AbeBooks) I can recommend it as worth buying. The book is well-written and fascinating reading.

There are a lot of HURLBURTS buried in Old Wethersfield, CT - Jay Henry - CT

Hi again, I remembered last night that some of the information I wanted to look at was in the copy of the "YOUNG family-history document" that I was lucky enough to receive 4-5 yrs. ago. When I reviewed the pages about the family of Earle and Mary YOUNG, I found the married names of their 2 daughters. There is a small chance that they could be still alive, so I won't mention their names on the List. I looked at the information about them, and saw that the 2 daughters didn't have the most peaceful of marriages. The 2 sons were born about one year apart and died one year apart. Frederick YOUNG never married. Winthrop YOUNG seems to have had a "normal?" marriage and he had 4 or 5 children. It seems that several of the siblings had an interest in their family-tree. One thing I noticed last night is that a descendant of one of the daughters, when married, with her husband, became important citizens in Voluntown (1960's?). That's a town I had not heard about before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntown,_Connecticut -- By the way, speaking of an interest in a family-tree, one thing which is mentioned in this document is that Marvin DEXTER in Killingly had a strong interest in his ancestry. And this is what the YOUNG document says: "Clara Allen (Dexter) Young died 27 Jan. 1937. at Killingly .. at age 80. This was about a year prior to the death of Abner .... It was through the Dexter family line that much genealogical information was obtained, inasmuch as Marvin A. Dexter, her grandfather, collected considerable information during his lifetime about Dexters, and it has been published separately by another researcher. (Newman, 1859) That work delineated the Dexter line back to Gregory Dexter, ...." I have corresponded with the Killingly Historical Society, and the volunteers there say that they don't know of that DEXTER document. And no one else seems to know about it. Marvin DEXTER only had the 2 children, John, who I research, and Abby, who married Martin CROSBY. -- So, who would have inherited that document? One of my long-time questions is: What happens to important documents from the 1800's about families living in a particular town -- when no descendants live into our life-times? Betty (near Lowell, MA)

Hello   Does anyone have any information regarding the family of Fairbanks Church who was born Oct. 1, 1752.  He died June 11, 1831 in Niantic, CT.   He was in the Revolution under Capt. Mitt's company.   I am looking for information on his wife - Elizabeth Hurlburt and their children.   Thank you. Tracy Tomaselli

Hello, I just checked the archives of 2 Lists, and it looks like I haven't posted about the YOUNG families since 2005. There is information in the archives of this List and the New Haven List. And I don't have anymore than that. But, I'd like to ask now if anyone now is researching them. For the ancestors of Abner YOUNG, you can check out the YOUNG List and probably the YOUNG Board. I've posted his "line" there before. I'm very interested in finding descendants of Abner and Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG of Killingly. They had one surviving child, Earle YOUNG. Earle YOUNG and Mary BITGOOD were married in 1906. The only children I've been able to find out about are: Mary Barbara YOUNG, b1915, Evelyn Virginia YOUNG, b1917, Frederick E. YOUNG, b1918, and Winthrop A. YOUNG, b1920. The 2 sons died in 1996 and 1997. I think someone told me the married names of the 2 daughters, but I don't have that information handy. Earle and Mary YOUNG and their family lived in New Haven in 1920 and 1930. I would love to find living descendants of the couple. Winthrop became a professional genealogist, and he eventually self-published / self-typed a document on his YOUNG family tree. I have a copy of his obituary. From that and other information, I was able to find current addresses of some of his children. I wrote to them 2 years ago and there was no response. I was hoping that one of his children would still have his "boxes of research papers." I don't remember that I found out the information on the families of his 3 siblings. I'll had that to my to-do-list. The main reason I'm writing, and the thing I'd like to find the most -- is "old family photos" which might include pictures of Abner and Clara YOUNG in Killingly. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (As I've mentioned in past years, I have an "educated guess" that Mrs. Clara YOUNG was the birth-mother of my grandmother. I believe she had a pregnancy outside of her marriage in the summer of 1888.) (Only a true miracle would help me prove this.) (I'd also like to find some old pictures of her aunt, Mrs. Abby (DEXTER) CROSBY of the Killingly area. Abby and John DEXTER were the children of Marvin and Mary (ALLEN) DEXTER of Killingly. John married Mary CLARK of Westport, MA, and they lived in Killingly. Someone told me recently that Mary (CLARK) might have had CLARK relatives in the Killingly area and that's possibly how she met John.) Remember to check the archives of all the Lists and Boards for your surnames and place-names. And, please remember to check the on-line auctions for for your surnames and place-names.
