I am hoping that this is the CT information you were referring to! I copied my original message and would appreciate any help with discovering Horace's true family line. I have since found in CT State Library a copy of the family Bible of Cornelius3.. There are lots of names but Horace is NOT one of them. I found that Horace was born in 1807, married Saphena Spencer in 1829, and died in Middle Haddam in 1854. He had a son Henry S. who married Henrietta Bailey. My original message was: I would like some help with the following information from the Evelyn Rich writings in Vol. 83 NEHGS Register: On pg. 274 about Cornelius b. circa 1720 (m. Rhoda Fish) she states that "no record of his estate is known" and "there is no known record of his family except for a careful search made by HW Brainard of Hartford, CT". Does anyone know where or if he documented his findings of the 7 sons of this Cornelius and where I might locate a copy of it? On pgs 57-58 of Cornelius 3 she writes that the child Horace b. 1818 m. Sophronia Spencer(Saphena in Haddam records) was "probably a member of this family". Does anyone know if this has ever been proven and/or where I might find this? I have located in the Haddam Records and Barbour Records the following information to fill in some blanks on pg. 58: Wealthy B Rich age 27 b. Middle Haddam, res. East Haddam m. Charles S (also listed as Charles T) Spencer b. East Haddam, age 24, blacksmith on June 30, 1850 in Moodus, CT by Rev. Jacob Gardner Joseph O Rich of Chatham m. Harriet Clark of Haddam February 26, 1838 by Rev. David D Field Thanks in advance! K KELLY (JEKFK@aol.com)
