Hello to all, I recently joined the list. I am the Wallingford and Cheshire CT GenWeb coordinator (http://www.genweb.org) I do live in Wallingford and do a few small look-ups here and there, but can't offer any major research as I'm at home with two little kids under 5 and get only so much free time. However, if I can offer any advice or answer any questions, I will try. I do have the following books out on loan from the Wallingford Public Library and am willing to do look-ups. They are UNINDEXED, so you must be patient. "History of Wallingford, CT, 1670-1956" by Clara Booth Newell "Connecticut's Loyalists" by Robert A. East Regarding the second book, here is an e-mail I sent to NewBrunswick-L. Please note: I am not an expert on Loyalists! I have a book called "Connecticut's Loyalists" by Robert A. East (1974; Pequot Press, Chester, CT; ISBN 87106-146-5) that I borrowed from our local library. There are some names of people who went to New Brunswick from Connecticut. General info- About 6000 Loyalist soldiers and heads of families became permanent settlers of New Brunswick, percentage coming from New York 40%, New Jersey 22% Connecticut 13%. An unknown percentage returned to the U.S. from New Brunswick. Here is a passenger list of Connecticut people who took the ship "Union", leaving Huntington, Long Island, April 1783, to New York City, to New Brunswick, May 1783, settling primarily in Kingston, and later some moving up the river to Woodstock, Kings Co. Sister ships were the "Hope" and the "Aurora".
