Thanks David for your reponse. I am currerently in USA on holiday and within that mid-way through a 9 day bus tour in New England. Within the last week or so I spent 2 days at the Connecticut State Library, a day at the Connecticut Historical Society, plus a Saturday afternoon at the NEGS in Boston with more there to come within a few days from now. I have yet to fully digest the information obtained. Thus far I have established William R Lloyd of New Haven (born TN) is the son (or a son) of Henry P Loydd and Laura Barnes. I have not completely disproved a direct, or indirect, link between them and my William James Lloyd. In addition, I have yet to establish the place of death of Henry P Lloyd; a possibility is in Montgomery County TN where it seems he worked on a large tabacco estate. It seems William R was born Nashville TN - yet to be confirmed. Henry P's place of birth also awaits confirmation. I have been advised no Lloyds owned land in Southington in the period of interest other than Laura Lloyd (nee Barnes ) who was bequeathed 14 acres by her father in his will - have seen copy of his probated will. No probate has been found in CT for Laura so she is likely to have sold the land before her death.
