Here's my contribution. I'm always glad to provide sources, or just do the electronic equivalent of "chewing the fat." Until you get to the Enfield family, by the way, what I have below is copied (and possibly not very well) from secondary sources. After that I have at least put in some credible work. This is in NGS Register format, mostly, but ONLY MY ANCESTORS APPEAR. Their siblings do NOT, unless (as happens twice) I am descended from both siblings. This line is essentially Ipswich, MA > Enfield, MA-CT > Weathersfield, VT > Springfield, VT. Love to hear from anyone who connects!
