Ken - As you probably know the Culver Academies (nee Culver Military Academy) was started by a mid-western industrialist, Henry Harrison Culver in the 1870's or 80's. He was in Ohio I belive, although the private high school is about an hour south of South Bend, Indiana. I'm a Culver alumnus, and attended a lecture this summer by the school's historian that focused on the founding and growth of the school, but if you'd like to contact me off line, I'd be happy to try to put you in touch with this gentleman, to see if you're looking for the same family. It's not a Connecicut contact, I realize, but my guess is since your only looking for info about 50 years or so before the school was founded, perhaps he knows about the background of the Culver family that will be of interest to you.

He had seven children including Rufus Culver born 1823 but probably not in Connecticut. Any help would be appreciated.
