Nathaniel (Jr) b 1704 Stamford md Mary DEMILL (related to Cecil B.)

Isaac LONGWELL b 1778 Stamford m: Sarah WINSLOW (dau of Samuel WINSLOW and Margaret WOOLSEY- Samuel is son of ? Margaret is dau of Benjamin M. WOOLSEY and Margarite TELLER) Here's a tad more: Peter SELLECK was born may 2 1729 in Stamford. Aparently his parents died before 1748, because on april 5, 1748 he chose his uncle, Peter DeMill, to be his guardian. Peter and Martha Whiting Selleck lived in Old Poundridge, NY on Feb 8, 1764. They were in Salem CT in 1767, Stamford 1771. by 1790 Peter was shown in Norwalk or Stamford CT. Martha's half sister Mary Whiting, married Peter's brother Ezra Selleck. Her half sister, Deborah Whiting, married Abraham Selleck, brother of Peter. John and Susannah Longwell bought 3 acres from Peter and his brother Anthony on the west side of the Mill river in Stamford on Mar 2, 1741. This Peter DeMill, guardian of Peter Selleck, lived near Susannah Longwell on apr 21, 1760 when they legally agreed on a fence line between his meadow and her property. This is where Jane Selleck met Stephen Longwell. All of his children were baptised at St. John's P.E. Church of Stamford where he was a member. (From MY LONGWELL FAMILY HISTORY, James Nelson Longwell - sources Bates Selleck and Allied Families Genealogy, by Gorham, p 220 232 292 Land records of Stamford f:401 I dont have a Nancy SELLECK in my database. HOYT was a prominent name in Stamford History. I believe Alexander HOYT was the Justice of the Peace when Stephen LONGWELL married Jane SELLECK. Have fun at that website I gave you! Valerie
