New Middletown First Settlers Web Site

rwbacon — 10 Jun 2007 5:48:11 GMT

Middletown Conn. Genealogy Researchers:

I'm glad to report that the Society of Middletown (Conn.) First Settlers new content-rich web site has been online in its entirety for one month now. For an introductory period the entire site will be accessible to all. Eventually access to the Member Area will be restricted by password, as our board felt that the member area content would provide incentive for membership, along with our newsletter, The Middler. But in any case, even in the public area there will always be plenty of useful information for Middletown genealogy and local history enthusiasts.

The site features biographical sketches of the first settlers, local history essays, a directory of research destinations, a comprehensive bibliography, an archive of past newsletters, links to relevant books online, membership information, and much more.

You can find the site via Google: "Middletown First Settlers". (Some old dead links from our old web site may show up, but they will fade away in the near future.) Or you can bookmark this link:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctsmfsd/Index.html

Feel free to pass on information about the site --- or the SMFSD --- to interested researchers.

Request to Meet with Cousins--Mar 29-31--Descendant Visiting Middletown

knrivers — 5 Mar 2008 11:16:43 GMT

Hello,

My name is Kristin Rivers and I am planning a trip from Saturday, March 29th to Monday, March 31st to visit Middletown and Lebanon to research my family history. I have quite a few ancestors who were either born, married and/or died in these two towns (listed below) and so I am planning to visit cemeteries, libraries and any historical societies and/or museums that may be open at that time.

Donna from the Middlesex County Historical Society has agreed to meet with me from 9am-1pm on Sunday. Is there anyone else who would like to get together to discuss this amazing place and its people Sat evening, Sunday (after my meeting with Donna) and/or Monday morning?!

I am so excited because as a public school teacher with three children living in San Jose, CA, I would not have anticipated being able to make this trip but my school district is sending me to a teaching conference in New York City beginning on Monday, March 31st and I was able to convince the district to allow me to fly in early and pay for my own room and board in order to make the side trip up to Connecticut!

So, I am flying in late Friday night and will arrive at the Newark Airport early Saturday morning. I'm planning to rent a car and drive up to your area that morning. So, I was hoping that you would please suggest where I should go while I'm there. I have listed out the names and their connections to the two towns hoping that you may have access to cemetery/birth and/or marriage records that might help point me in the right direction to learn as much about my ancestors as I can in the short time that I'll have there. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you feel could help. Thank you! And if you ever need anything from San Jose, CA. You know who to ask!! :-)

Elisha Woodruff Dorman, b: 04 Mar 1834, Connecticut

scribkelly — 28 May 2007 4:49:43 GMT

We are looking for family members of Elisha Woodruff Dorman. Family information states he was born in Connecticut 04 Mar 1834. His mother's maiden name may have been Woodruff. We have no records of his father's given name.
By the 1860 Census Elisha was living in Geneva, Ashtabula, Ohio married to Henrietta (nee Hurd) Dorman, the father of three boys (Edwin, Edgar & Frank) and working as a blacksmith.
Elisha died a few months prior to his 90th birthday, 11 Jan 1924, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Any information on his family and life in Connecticut would be greatly appreciated.

Nathaniel Bacon

terryroots — 10 Jan 2008 4:52:23 GMT

There were some very interesting posts by "Peggy" at infocollection@aol.com regarding Nathaniel. These were around June 2001. She mentioned letters of Seldon and Lyle Bacon.
Lyle was my mother's uncle and I have some letters that he wrote to his brother Knox.
I'd like to compare notes with Peggy, but her email address does not seem to work.
Does anyone have her current email?

I also have a most interesting account of Stephen Bacon (of Middletown) and his exploits in the French/Indian War as well as the Revloutionary War. I don't know who wrote it nor if the account is fact or fiction but, if real, he was quite a soldier (makes Rambo seem like a wimp!)

Any help would be welcome.

Harrisons' of Litchfield, Connecticut

ginnyeakin — 21 Nov 2005 3:01:56 GMT

I have some Harrison information that I hope I can share and someone can fill in some blanks I have.
I am looking for a Thomas Harrison, born about 1787 in Connecticut, he died 1861 in McKean Twp, Erie, PA. I am almost certain this Thomas, son of Samuel Harrison is part of my line.
Samuel Harrison had these children:
Ira born 1895 married Deborah Washburn in NY, this is
my line
Thomas
Charlotte
Ellen
The name of Samuel's wife and his death date is unknown. However we do know he was born Nov 10, 1763 in Litchfield, Conn. We think he died approx 1810. 1800 Fed census we know he was married and had one son and one daughter under ten. His wife shows in the 16-27 category and Samuel wa between 27-45. His property was disposed of in 1808 which may have been the year he died, he did not appear in the Fed Census 1810. Based on solid evidence from prev. family researchers, Samuel had 4 children named Ira, Thomas, Charlotte and Ellen and this coincides well with the info on the 1800 census.
We suspect that Samuel's couzin, Salmon, very possibly helped in bringing up Samuel's children after his death. There are varying facts that confirm this in the census.
(Salmon was born in Williamstown, MASS after his father moved there from Litchfield, CN) He then came to NY.
Samuel and Salmon are first cousins and had the same grandfather which trails back to the same ancestral line to Richard who came to New Haven, Conn in 1638.
The THOMAS mentioned above that is the mystery as to who's son he is.....married a Anna Clark who was born abt. 1788 in Massachusetts and died in McKean, Erie, PA.
Their children are: IRA, Daniel, George, Lucy Emily, Giles and Mary.
I hope someone can help me!!

My ggggg grandfather Baisey Baker lived in Middletown for a while, died there September 4, 1723 and is buried in Riverside Cemetery.

They were married in Farmingdale NJ where Caroline was from. Witnesses to the marriage were Mary E Allaire (Caroline's sister) and her husband William L Allaire.

Michael Clark

hetherfether — 2 May 2002 11:41:53 GMT

I am interested in any information on Michael Clark son of Lamberton Clark and Sarah Foster who was born 1777 of Middletown, Middlesex CT. I say 'of' because I have looked at a town record that was Microfilmed and it just listed Lamerton with his two wives and their children and didn't really specify if they all were born there possitively or not. They were living there in 1790. Does anyone know where this Michael went? I have a grandfather Michael born about 1774 who ends up in Steuben county, NY and then Liberty twp. Mckean county, PA. He married Mathilda and had children Susannah Ellen, Daniel, and Avery(ones I've identified.)
There is an older Michael Clark living in Middletown who marries a Huldah Warner around 1886. One of the Michael Clark's marries a Huldah Tryon in 1821 in Glastonbury.
I'd appeciate any help in sorting out information that could help me evaluate whether this Michael could me mine. I've eliminated the one in MA, NH and VT.
Michael son of Lamberton & Sarah has a brother Lamberton who moves to VT then jefferson NY and then on to Onondaga Cty NY. Maybe on down to Tioga County, PA.
Thanks for your time, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chamberlains in Middletown

L_OFlaherty — 25 Jun 2001 9:33:47 GMT

I am researching my Gr Grand Father George Edward Chamberlain b. 1839 to 1842 CT, where? Parents?
He was married to Violet Bowes, where? they had a daughter Flora Violet born 1881, CT where? A son Harry William born 1882, Stamford, CT. they then migtated to Phila, PA where my Grand Father George Edward JR was born in 1892.
George E. SR was an Iron Moulder by trade. He had 8 uncles and his father was born in CT of English decent. Trying to find where he was born and his parents.

I have found a Middlesex, Middletown Ct directory 1882 to 1901, which has a George Chamberlain, occupation Iron Moulder boarding with a Charles C. Chamberlain also an Iron Moulder. Main St,or Main and Flower Sts,(div Millers Farm?) Middletown.
There is also a William Chamberlain and an Edward Chamberlain also Iron Moulders boarding with Charles. It seems that this Charles could be an uncle to George. I find Charles in the census index living in Middletown from 1850s till 1890s then he is in 1900 census living with his son Edward H. Chamberlain at same address. Charles born in 1825, born in Ct, father born in Ct, mother born in Ireland.

Anyone have info on Chamberlains living in Middletown, Ct early 1800 or late 1700.

Her name was Anna Cole and she was born on July 15, 1783 in Windsor, Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
A lady named Sharon Schrag replied to that query to inform me she was a descendant of Isaac Cornwell but that she had very little info at hand.
