I want to give an example. I was born & raised and still live in Ct. I was born in Branford that small town has sub villages like Pine Orchard, Indian Neck, short beach, double beach etc. They all pay there taxes to Branford. Depending on the year you are in 1800's or 1700's Ct at one time stretch out to Ohio. See Connecticut Western reserve. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barb Stevens" <genealogybarb@snet.net> To: <genconnecticut@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 10:20 PM Subject: Re: [CT] Hammondville, CT? How about Hazardville? That is mid CT near the MA border--part of Enfield I believe. Hammonassett is a beach on the CT shore actually in the town of Mdison I believe.

It has a beach there called Hammonasette. Connecticut was once all Indian tribes.

One of them even lists a fair number of official and unofficial names for many of them, but nothing there either. Are you sure it is in Connecticut, or didn't wind up on the other side of one of the historical colonial/state border changes over the centuries? > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
