For 150 years the Old Burying Ground enjoyed an \"active career.\" This book transcribes 1,405 gravestone inscriptions from Norwich's oldest burying ground.

While Fairfield is the specific scope, the practical scope is much broader, as such an early town history can never be completely separated from the history of the colony as a whole. Fairfield's accessible location upon Long Island Sound brought about its early discovery and initial settlement in 1639. From this first settlement through the second decade of the nineteenth century, Mrs. Schenk covers every aspect of a town history. A few general topics which are addressed are wars, agriculture, relations with the Indians, churches, schools, government and growth. The wealth of detailed history and available knowledge provided in over 700 pages of text is not all that these volumes have to offer. There are over twenty-five appendices containing such information as lists of freemen, land divisions (including the names of recipients), and deeds (with signatures intact). The parish record of Christ's Church is yet another source of names as it contains a \"record of those that renewed the covenant,\" records of baptisms and lists of marriages. Yet to be mentioned, but of no less significance, is a collection of nearly 100 genealogical sketches and an every-name plus subject index.

They are now being offered as a single volume, covering the time period of 1641 to 1978: nearly three and a half centuries. The book's first part deals with the Cove, an area along the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound, located mainly on the island in the cove between Stamford and Darien. The region's history goes back to 1641. The island was first used as a pound; then it became the center of a grist mill operation. By 1800 John William Holly had settled there and further developed mills producing dyes and drugs. Eventually the whole area was absorbed by the Stamford Manufacturing Company, where 500 men were employed. This section is also replete with photographs, maps and illustrations from both the 19th century and more recent times. In addition to presenting the history, it contains a full chart on the Holly family plus many references to other families in the area, which will all be extremely appreciated by researchers. The book's second part, a history of Long Ridge Village, covers the years between 1700 and 1800, and gives a detailed picture of this little community located ten miles north of central Stamford. Long Ridge Village was settled in 1717 by three enterprising men from Long Island: Thomas Brush Jr., Michael Waring and John White. They were soon joined by the Ingersois, Newmans and Todds, and the community began to flourish. In addition to a rich description of life in that time, the account includes maps, charts and genealogical data. This book brings back more than three centuries of history to enlighten those who have a special relationship with Stamford by having visited or lived there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeanne Majdalany\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1979, 1998), 2015, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 196 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788408939\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M0893\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21636720820342,"sku":"101-M0893","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m0893.png?v=1727797209"},{"product_id":"101-l4924","title":"Cut Off: Colonel Jedediah Huntington's 17th Continental (Connecticut) Regiment at the Battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe American Revolutionary War was just a little over one year old, when, shortly after midnight on the 27th of August 1776, the British Army began an attack in force on a small number of picket guards stationed in advance of the right wing of the American Army just south of Brooklyn, New York. Thus began what is generally known as the Battle of Long Island, arguably the largest battle of an extended and sanguinary conflict that was to last six more years. Retreating precipitously, the terrified pickets sent word of the attack to George Washington's main army encamped behind fortified positions about three miles to the north. From there, American General William Alexander (Lord Stirling) was immediately dispatched with the regiments available to him south along the Gowanus Road to meet the British threat. One of those American regiments was Colonel Jedediah Huntington's 17th Continental Regiment, made up of men primarily from eastern Connecticut. Arriving at the scene of action, Lord Stirling sent Colonel Huntington's Regiment, with parts of two other regiments, into the wooded hills inland from the Bay to protect his exposed left flank. In doing so, the general unwittingly sent Huntington's Regiment into oblivion. What happened to the Connecticut men of Huntington's 17th Continental Regiment after they marched off into what was the most isolated and remote part of the battlefield would remain a mystery for the next two and a half centuries. For the first time, herein, the author has been able to piece together the fate of Huntington's Regiment from diaries, Revolutionary War pension records, Connecticut State records, family histories, and town records and histories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile this book tells the story of the regiment as a whole, genealogists will find it of value as it also provides brief biographies of many of the individual soldiers who served in the regiment during 1776.

Their names adorn every walk of life,-in art, science, statesmanship, government, in advanced industrial and commercial prosperity. Their achievements constitute an inheritance upon which the present generation has entered, and the advantages secured from so great a bequeathment depend largely upon the fidelity with which is conducted the study of the lives of those who have transmitted so precious a legacy. The province of the present work is that of according due recognition to many leading and representative citizens who have thus reflected honor upon their State and community. It cannot but have a large and increasing intrinsic value, in its historic utility, in the interest attaching to the subject matter, and in the inspiration derived from the record of worthies of the past who have largely made the Nation and the State what they are today. For by far the greater part, the narratives embrace detailed information drawn immediately from family records, and publishers and readers will alike gratefully recognize the interest and loyalty to the memory of their forbears, that moved the custodians of such information to thus place in preservable accessible form records which would otherwise be lost.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSamuel Hart, D.

Nothing could have aided his cherished purpose more, for it gave him access to the official records of all the wars…As a result, few family histories will contain more abundant and accurate accounts of military service than this.\" Upon his death, the Rev. Melville R. Webster picked up the mantle of family historian and genealogist in order to complete William's investigation and added material from other branches of the family. This volume spans ten generations of the Webster family descended from Governor John and Agnes Webster. \"Each Chapter is sub-divided into 'Divisions,' 'Sections,' and 'Numbered Paragraphs'.\" Those named in the Divisions are children of the ancestor at the head of the Chapter. Those named in the Sections are his grandchildren. Those named in the Numbered Paragraphs are his great-grandchildren.\" More information regarding the organization of this volume is provided in the Key.

Hoadley who labored some time at filling in blanks left by Mr. Goodwin's passing and confirming much of the data already found through comparison with additional source materials. The resultant text offers a wealth of information for those researching old New England families, in particular the families of Goodwin, Blakeman, Case, Chester, Clark, Dwight, Edwards, Goodrich, Gurley, Hollister, Hopkins, Ingersoll, Jones, Judson, Kent, Lord, Mather, Metcalf, Mygatt, Nott, Porter, Sedgwick, Smith, Spencer, Stone, Storrs, Terry, Treat, Ward, Webster, Welles, Whiting and Worthington.
