It gives East Windsor as his place of residence but it does NOT give parents names. I have found that Windsor is a close to if not part of Hartford. >> Margaret Watch out, there is Windsor, Windsor Locks, East Windsor, South Windsor......all of which are part of Hartford County, but not part of Hartford. The State Library would not have anything on your babe except perhaps a death notice and or the family in a 'city' directory. East Windsor at that time would have been a commerce place with shipping and mills. Perhaps the family was new to the area, having family and roots in Pittsfield; also a mill town [I think]. The people at the East Windsor Town Hall are very helpful - or so I have always felt. good luck, susan moore windsor, ct
