Author: raytough Surnames: Smyth Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.connecticut.unknown/4754/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Searching for info re my great, great uncle Daniel Smyth, b. abt 1845 in Portadown, Co Armagh, Ireland. He moved to the USA, believed Connecticut, in the 1860-70s after serving in the Merchant Navy. He may have been a respected member of the community/person of standing as my grandmother was sent his obituary in a US newspaper - it was on the front page and the page had a black border as is done when an important personage dies. Daniel was the son of Patrick Smyth, a linen weaver of Co Armagh & his mother may have been Mary Johnston. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi there, I apologize for the intrusion but I'm wondering if someone on the list might be able to help me. I'm trying to find out if there are any Gard(i)ners listed on the 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses for Killingly and Plainfield. I'm especially interested in the possibility of a William or Betsy/Elizabeth Gardner who would have been born in the latter decades of the 18th century. (I have heritagequest access right now but not ancestry.com.) I've been searching off and on for several years for clues to the parentage of my ancestors William Gardner and his wife Betty Potter. I've understood them all along to be likely descendants of the Rhode Island Gardiners and Potters but the only record I've had suggesting their existence is an 1880 death record for their daughter Amy (Gardner) Clark (born in South Kingstown, Rhode Island about 1807). Unfortunately, South Kingstown vital records (birth, marriage, death) are scant from the late 18th and early 19th century and there are no relevant records for this family from there, nor is there a probate record for this William or Betsy/Elizabeth Gardner during the relevant period (1807-1850). There are however a number of records relating to their daughter Am(e)y Gardner who married Daniel Lyman Clark (s/o an uncertain Rhode Island Clark and Amy Greene) by the early 1820s. At that time they were living in Killingly, Connecticut (several of their children were born there). They moved (back, presumably) to Rhode Island by 1830 (South Kingstown first then Smithfield - daughters Susan and Lydia were born in Smithfield); Daniel Clark seems to have died by 1840 as Amy Clark is from then on listed as the head of household. It appears that at the end of her life Amy Clark moved to Attleboro, Mass (where Susan and Lydia [who were married to business partners Ephraim Hunt Tappan {my ancestor} and Albert Frost Briggs, respectively] lived). Census records indicate that Gardners were living in Killingly in 1820 and 1860 (years that have been indexed on heritagequest) and there is a William Gardner in the 1860 Killingly census (born 1804); he's the right age to be the brother of Amy (Gardner) Clark, and son of my William Gardner. Further research suggests that the Gardners present in Killingly by 1820 may be from the Swansea, Massachusetts branch of the Rhode Island Gardners. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. Best regards, Kenneth

One source of information that no one mentioned is the Federal Census. From 1880 on detailed questions, and not the same questions, have been included in the census. Every census has asked for birth place of the individual, their father and mother. There is much to be learned from census records, and they are a valuable research tool. Census records have been a grest resource for me in the research of my families. Marilyn CT Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

She was murdered, and William Sr. married Mary Soledad Juarez Kovner, who had three children from a previous marriage, Peter, Alfred, and Gabriel (Harry). I heard that William Jr. and his step brother Harry were pretty close. William Jr. died I think in the early 50's, leaving behind a wife and a few kids.

Go to FamilySearch.com and search for Justin Loomis, /- 5 years, Connecticut. five or Six IGI records will come up for Justin Loomis, b. 1793, Salem CT. Forget sbout him being born in Salem, CT. Salem did not exist as an incorporated town until 1819 when it was formed from sections of 3 towns, Colchester, Lyme, and Montville. Read all the IGI records. There may be enough information there for you to work with as you do your digging. Happy Hunting Marilyn CT Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hello list,   If Vermont was first known as New Connecticut, was it then still at the beginning thought of as part of Connecticut "OLD"?  It was just a thought.  For around the time frame of 1775 to about 1810 the influx of the people from Stratford, Connecticut to Sandgate, Vermont was extermly high.  In my research it said that was the time frame of Sandgate's highest influx of immigration. And then it dropped off as people spread to New York.  Was this because of the War of 1812 or because of other items?  I have been a long time trying to understand why they would leave Stratford for Sandgate.  Does the list have any ideas on this?  I did find that several people of Stratford did begin and settle Sandgate.   Regards, Ezziej Bromwich   Patterson descendent In God We Trust

Caleb Olds was listed on the 1820 Census at Fairfield, Franklin Co., VT. In his household was a male 45 and over, who probably was his father Aaron. This pretty definitely connects the family to Vermont, and not Connecticut. Robert L.
