Hi Donna, My gg grandfather had a son that worked in the quarries on Westerly and I think he died in Westerly on 21 Feb 1900. His name was George Thompson and he was born in Stonington. Is there any resource that you have that would show anything on George? In particular, I am wondering if his death cert would show the place of birth of his father, Joseph Loomer Thompson. Thanks, Charlie King gg grandson of Joseph Loomer Thompson born 1821 someplace in CT Donna wrote: > "Hi Ron, > Westerly had a large granite quarry, so that would explain why > > stonemasons would be there.
