Just to let others know that there is a lot of new Benedict Family information on http://www.genealowiki.com/bin/view.cgi/Benedict/WebHome This site is an ongoing work for the compilation of what will be Vol III of the Genealogy of the Benedicts in America, to follow up on Henry M Benedicts Vol I, and Elwyn Benedicts Vol II. All researchers and contributors are welcome. As the Benedicts finally settled in Connecticut and dispursed from there, this message is being sent to several, but not all Connecticut boards. Appologies if anyone receives this message more than once. sandee

I have ancestors who lived in New Haven and Milford, CT during the years which you have listed for them. I would like information on the children of Wheeler and Methitable Sperry Oviatt....especially church records of the baptism or birth of a son named Wheeler Oviatt ca. 1795 to 1799. He might, also, have been the son of a Charles Oviatt as well during that time period. Methiable and Wheeler had two girls...one named Methitable who died young in 1825 (?) and Lucy Oviatt who was born after 1800 and eventually married John Lemonier. They, also, had two other sons named Richard Sperry and Alexander in 1802 and 1805 as well. The 1800 Census records lista a male child in the household under tha age of ten...I'm hoping he is my Wheeler. There is a death record for a son and daughter in Milford's town record who suuposedly were born and died at approximately the same time. If I can find a baptismal record, it might prove that the son, my Wheeler, ! lived. I have seen a probate record that does list a Wheeler Oviatt which includes the date of his birth in 1797 under Charles Oviatt's records with no explanation given. Anyway that you can help me would be most appreciated. thank you... Diane recordbug@aol.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Howard - Unfortunately I have limited info on my "lost souls". A few greats ago, Sarah Clark, born around 1769 in Lyme, CT. Her father is listed in my family genealogy book as Capt. Nathaniel Clark. Captain of what, I don't know. I was hoping he fought in the revolution but cannot find a Nathaniel Clark as a Capt. Sarah married Timothy Mather 02/02/1792, supposedly in Lyme but correspondence with the various towns of Lyme, Old Lyme, East Lyme doesn't show them there. Not too long after the marriage, Sarah and Timothy moved to Western NY because I believe their son, Gurdon Clark Mather, was born in Lima, NY. Timothy died in Lima in 1805, no further date. Sarah may have remarried. Can't find her after that. Any clues would be most appreciated.

We had a death in the family in December and I lost track of some of my projects. I've checked the burials in the two cemetaries assciciated with our original church/meetinghouse. The oldest of the two only contains one Hull who was married to one of our wealthier citizens, Horace Staples. The other cemetery has a dozen or so Hulls but they were all born after 1820. Westport was part of the town of Fairfield until 1835 even though our church was established in 1711. The majority of Hulls lived in Fairfield and that is where the road "Hulls Hiway" is now. I am attaching a link to the Fairfield Historical Society and maybe they can help you. If not, or they want to charge you, I only live a short distance away and will take a look myself. http://www.fairfieldhistoricalsociety.org/genealogy.php#a Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

And someone has reminded me that there was a CLARK family in Woodstock, CT, with someone born there at around the same time as James was born. And, I was wondering if there was information about the CLARK families in Woodstock on-line, or with people on these Lists. As I've mentioned in past years on the Lists, James CLARK is one of my "concrete-block walls." A quick summary is that he "appeared" in Little Compton, RI, in ~1827, and married in nearby Westport, MA, in 1829. He fathered a daughter there in 1836, and "disappeared" during the 1840's. He might have been the James CLARK who got on a ship in New Bedford, MA, in 1844 - and "deserted" that ship in Australia. He also might have been the James CLARK who was on a small ship in the St. Lawrence River in ~1825. I am only guessing he was born between 1790 and 1800 because his wife, the widow, Mrs. Rhoda LAVARE, was born in 1800 in Westport. -- If this was all the same man, he was "a travelin' man." :o( This is a long story, so I'll try to summarize my thoughts. James' daughter, Mary Anna CLARK, grew up to marry John DEXTER, who was born in Killingly, CT. I don't know how they met, or where they married; they might have married in Stonington. John and Mary lived on the DEXTER farm in Killingly. They had 3 daughters, but 2 died as children; the surviving daughter grew up to become, Mrs. Clara YOUNG, in Killingly. Abner and Clara also lost a young daughter, and had a surviving son, Earle YOUNG. To get back to James and Rhoda CLARK in Westport, MA, the family also included Rhoda's 3 LAVARE (young) children from her first marriage. But, James seems to have only lived with Rhoda from 1829 to 1844, and only knew his daughter, Mary, until she was about 8 yrs. old. I have no knowledge as to whether James and Rhoda visited CLARK relatives. This is mostly because I don't know where he was born or who his parents were, etc. But, Mary CLARK had to have had some way to "meet" John DEXTER. And one possibility is that her father did come from a family in Woodstock, CT, and she had visited that family - and traveled through Danielson and Killingly. Also, both Mary CLARK and her half-sister, with LAVARE name, married in Stonington, CT, and I've always been curious whether they had a relative in Stonington - possibly a CLARK. So, one question comes up this morning. I looked through the archives of the Windham Co. List for a few minutes, and I saw mention that families did visit back and forth between Killingly and Woodstock. And I wondered whether the families in that part of the state did - visit each other on a regular basis. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (FYI: My grandmother mentioned a William CLARK on her marriage record in MA in 1911. I have no information on him.) (FYI: In the 1890's, after John and Mary DEXTER had moved to Melrose, MA, they had to travel back to Putnam, CT, to take care of a "court case." I don't know the connection between them and the other family involved. (mentioned in archives) ) (FYI: As I've mentioned many times in the past, John and Mary DEXTER took in a little girl in ~1890 and adopter her in 1892. They changed her name to Mary Anna Clark DEXTER. She was my grandmother. In 1899, Mrs. DEXTER died, and my grandmother was re-orphaned. She spent from Age 10 to 20 in "Homes" in Downtown Boston.) (My "educated guess" is that their married daughter, Mrs. Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG in Killingly had a prenancy outside of her marriage during the summer of 1888. And, thus the DEXTER's were my grandmother's grandparents.) * So, because of his long and complicated story (aka "family mystery" set in stone), I cannot prove that James CLARK was an ancestor of mine. But, it would be nice to find out if he was possibly part of the CLARK family in Woodstock, CT, in the 1790's. (I can also mention John DEXTER's only sibling, Mrs. Abby CROSBY, in Brooklyn, CT. She seems to have remained in contact with her brother until his death in MA in 1905. And, she possibly knew of his adopted daughter. His birth-daughter, Clara, "denied" any knowledge of her parents adopting a girl - until her dying day.) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GENCONNECTICUT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hello, I am trying to find out if there is any chance of getting a copy of either or both bookd on the Doty family. I've been told that the Ethan Allen Doty genealogy book of 1897 has my branch from my grandfather Frederick b 1866 in Ct back to William b 1722 in Oyster Bay NY. The publishing on further research by Peter Hill takes William back to Edward b 1599 in England. A few years ago, a kind lady from out West, sent me several chapters of a book on a family i was researching for my first husband, linking his grandmother back several generations into England. His family was delighted to get the copies i made for them. They had no idea about any of it. I would like to be able to see if i can get copies of these books, as my 2 nieces would like information on on the Doty's as my sister evidently never told them much about the immediate part . So i thought it would be nice to get what i could for them before it is too late for me to impart what information i already have. I have been working hard on trying to get what i do know together. I would be ecstatic if the info about the 2 books really checked out. I'm not too good at researching. I'm legally bllind and have been finding it harder to search since it happened. I have had some wonderful people helping. One in particular, has been extremely nice. My thanks to him. Sincerely Virginia Ferrante
Hello, Several years ago I was able to go to the courthouses in Cambridge, MA, and look at a few "wills" and a few "deeds." They were involving the HUTCHINSON families in Winchester, MA. The farm had existed in what is now Winchester from 1720's, and existed until the 1950's. (I lived on the farm for 7 yrs. as a child, so I have a strong interest in the farm and the people.) In the will of Miss Mary HUTCHINSON (unmarried adult) in the 1930's, there were several names which I have never seen during my 10+ yrs. of research on this extended family. (Includes CROSBY families down the street.). In the list of "second cousins" she was "leaving" a small amount of money to was: Mrs. Mabel SPICER. In a "deed" from 1937 for this farm / family, it states that the land was then owned by several relatives, and one of the names was: Mrs. Mabel SPICER of CT. I know this is not much to go on, but I was wondering if anyone recognized the name. I can add one small amount of information. In the 1850's, 3 HUTCHINSON siblings left the farm in Winchester, MA, and moved to Brooklyn, NY. There was John HUTCHINSON and his 2 married sisters. I have only been able to find very limited information on their children in Brooklyn. So, I don't know if Mrs. Mabel SPICER could have been descended from them. (Another name from both documents is: Mrs. Ruth LYNCH of NY.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: In the 1850's, 3 HUTCHINSON siblings remained in Winchester, MA. Thomas and Jacob and their married sister. Jacob was my ancestor, and he had married Eliza CROSBY. It was Eliza's brother, John CROSBY, who owned the large CROSBY Farm down the street - but across the line in Arlington, MA. So, the people mentioned in the documents could have been related to those families. But, Thomas had married a Mary MASTERS, and the "2nd cousins" could have been related to her. FYI: The other name on the documents which I do not recognize is: Mrs. George? SPAULDING, said to have been a cousin of Mary HUTCHINSON. So, all the ladies are "somehow" related to each other. The other names are my great-grandmother, Mrs. Louise (RICE) KIDDER, who the farm was sold to for $1, and her unmarried sister, Miss Edith RICE, had already been a part-owner. The farm in Winchester had been the GARDNER Farm until 1720's. But, the patriarch, George HUTCHINSON, had been in what is now Winchester from the 1600's.
