Hi! Everyone I am new to the CT. list and my ancestors lived in Connecticut sometime in the early to middle 1700's. They were found living in or around Wilkes-Barre just before the Rev. War as they were there when the Wyoming Massacre had happened as my gggggggreat grandfather was killed in the massacre along with others. His name was John Williams and he had three sons, Isaac, Charles, and William. We have since found out that there were three other Williams that had also been killed and they were, Elihu (Elisha) who is suppose to be the father and his three sons, Asa, possibly John and another one. There is a book called, "Fireside and Forklore." and in this book tells about, a Mrs. Williams wife of Elihu, that with her children walked back to CT. after the massacre and that she lost her husband and two sons and a son-in-law in the massacre. We think that that Elihu is John's father. Has anyone ever came across a son-in-law or daughter-in-law actually being what we would call today a step son or step daughter? John's wife and his three children also returned to CT. The story goes that Isaac found a horse down by the river and his mother and brothers rode the horse while Isaac walked all the way to CT. I haven't been able to find any more info on John or his sons. Isaac is my ancestorial line. Vivian Colleen wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Since I'm a new admin to you, let's do "new."
