My brick wall is Youngs Perkins from Lyme, CT. The son of James and Mary (Morgan) Perkins baptized Groton, Ct July 3,1757. Youngs was recorded in Lyme land records 1797. Also in Groton records1820. He was listed in 1810 census in Lyme and 1820 in Groton. I found that Mary , wife of Youngs Perkins, died Jan. 28, 1807 in her 49th yr. she is buried in the East Lyme Old Stone Church Cemetery. I have Hannah Perkins, daughter of Youngs and Mary Perkins, died Oct. 17, 1852, age 61 yr & 5mo. She is buried in the Poquetanuck Cemetery in Preston, CT. If anyone has additional information on this family I would appreciate the help. Gladys Chase

My brick wall is James ABBOTT who is my Great Grandfather. His civil was record states "I was born 1811 in Hartford CT". This is the only thing I have on him. I know his family was in Butler Co. OH in 1818 as records Huron Co, OH say this. A brother was born there in 1818. I am assuming that the family was part of the ones from CT who went to Ohio as part of the "Firelands of Ohio" families after the Revolutionary War when parts of CT. were burned. This is purely speculation on my part from reading old histories of OH. Any information on any ABBOTT families would be appreciated. Thanks. charlotte this email from char at [email protected]
