Moses Hull

mhullmatheson — 1 Apr 2002 9:19:32 GMT

Moses Hull was born in Ct. and came to Canada with the Hallowell grant settlers around 1783/1785. He came with a wife and 7 children, three of whom have their names recorded; Samuel, Elizabeth and Philomela. These were adults and were married shortly after arriving in Guysborough Co., NS. Moses Hull, his wife and 4 remaining children were given a grant of 350 acres with the provision that they remain on the land for at least 7 years. Apparently he stayed that long but then returned to the Ct. where he died a short time later, possibly from drowning. Looking for info on where he was born, where buried, his wife and childrens names. Would love to hear from anyone having info on Moses Hull, he was my gggg grandfather. Thanks.

Levi Clark, b. 1798, CT

bonniemcd1 — 9 Oct 2008 5:06:11 GMT

I would like to find any information about Levi Clark, b. 28 Aug 1798. He died in 1884 in NY. According to his obit, he was a native of Connecticut but I don't know how long he lived there. Also according to his obit, he next lived for a short time in Springfield, Mass., then settled in central NY "while the country was yet new." He married Candace Hathaway, about 1820, possible in Suffield, Hartford Co, CT. Their children included Elizabeth M., Erastus L., William E. Levi married Sarah Balard, b. 1809, CT, and their children included Emeline, Francis S., Alma P., and Henry G.
Any information about Levi Clark would be much appreciated.

searching Rose FURANO resided in Greenwich, CT

sandycharmed3 — 8 Oct 2008 3:23:03 GMT

I am looking for my great grandmother Rose FURANO which is her maiden name. My grandmother doesn't know her birthday but she must have been born around late 1800s because my grandmother was born in 1922. I know rose FURANO was born in Brooklyn, NY and then moved to Greenwitch, CT. She married Geatano Lanzarone Sr. who immigrated in 1904 from Italy and was a barber.

I know I don't have much but this part of my family really interests me so I'm trying hard to figure it out.

Rose FURANO had five children, oldest to youngest, all two years apart:
William
Joseph
Gaetano(Gates) only still living brother in Florida
Frank killed in WW2
Amalia(my gma) b. Sept 8, 1922

My grandma was married to William Rocko Pennella who was born in Greenwich, CT on April 5..not sure on date but he was a couple years older than her. He had a younger sister Kaye who married James Bria and a younger brother Charles. William Rocko died May 25, 1985 in Greenwitch.

This is what I have collected so far:

1920 Brooklyn Census
Geatano Lanzarone Sr. age 29, immigrated 1904, born in Italy, and is a barber
Rose (wife), age 24, born in NY
Their sons William 5, Joseph 3 1/2, Geatano jr 1, all born in NY
Joseph (Geatano Sr father), age 60, born in Italy immigrated 1904, and is a candy maker.

1930 Greenwich, Ct Census
Rose Lanzarone age 33, widow, born in NY, is a sewing clerk at interior decorating shop.
William (son) age 15 born in NY, father born in Italy, mother NY
Joseph (son) age 13 NY, Italy NY
Gaetano (son) age 12, NY Italy Ny
Frank (son) age 10, NY ITaly NY
Amita (daughter), age 7 born in Ct, father Italy, mother NY

Only have access to a few Greenwich Directories::

1928 Greenwich City Directory has Mrs Rose Lanzarone
1934 Greenwich Directory:: Rose Lanzarone, widow of Gaetano
Joseph Lanzarone is also living with her, so I assume this is her father-in-law.
The next Greenwich Directory is 1938 and neither Rose or Joseph are listed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks-
Lindsay Pennella

Sylvia Millar / Smith / Matiozraitis born 1914. Daughters Irene and Sara.

leannetaylor44 — 3 Oct 2008 2:08:43 GMT

I am trying to find information on my late grandfathers family but I have gone so far and have now reached a dead end.

I am particularly interested in the surname of Matiozraitis which was my grandfathers surname and comes from his fathers side of the family.

I believe my great grandparents came to Fauldhouse, West Lothian in Scotland from Lithuania between 1901 and 1905, married and had children. One of their daughters later moved to Connecticut. I believe she may have changed her name to Sylvia Smith or Sylvia Millar.

I believe she then had two daughters called Irene and Anne and Irene married on October 5th 1968.

If anyone could provide any more information that would be very much apreciated.

Thank you!

Thomas Roberts and family from Scotland in Tariffville?

Pip046 — 1 Oct 2008 12:54:12 GMT

This might be a very long shot, but I am researching my Nephew's family history and I have come across three children of Thomas and Agnes/Nancy Roberts who were born in Tariffville, Connecticut between 1833 and 1837.

In about 1830, Thomas and his wife came from Selkirk, Scotland and already had a daughter born in 1828 in Melrose, Roxburghshire, Scotland. The family returned to Melrose at some time by 1841 because they appear on the 1841 UK Census that year

Thomas' father was involved in the woollen industry in Scotland and I do wonder whether the link with Tariffville was the textile industry? I have found a brief account of Thomas's visit to America where he saw a type of machine that he later brought back to his brother's woollen factory in Scotland.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who may have any information or links.

Job Clark and sons Elijah and Peter (Barbour Collection?)

HeatherMeredith28 — 25 Sep 2008 10:05:19 GMT

Does any one have access to the Barbour Collection? I would greatly appreciate a look up for Elijah Clark b. about 1783 and his brother Peter. I believe there father was Job Clark and that their mother was Job's second wife. Job lived in New Haven,CT to begin with, then moved to Southington,CT and lastly to Wallingford,CT where he died. I would assume that Elijah and Peter were born in one of those Connecticut towns.
Thank you for your help,

cteagle5 — 19 Sep 2008 1:09:40 GMT

Hello all,

I've been trying to find the 1880 census record for my ancestor, William Martin Laurie for some time. I've tried ancestry and heritage quest with all the possible combinations I could think of. But I've come up short. Do you think you can find the census record?

In 1876, my Laurie family was in Hartford, CT. By 1900, they had moved to New Britain, CT. Listed below are the family details with their approximate ages in 1880.

William Martin Laurie - 24
Lovinia - 20
John E - 5
William - 4

Any help you could provide in finding this census record would be greatly appreciated.

William Neumann

LMNWalker — 18 Sep 2008 3:13:12 GMT

Looking for information on William Neumann, born in Germany, possibly Posen, who had brothers Theodor b.1858 Germany (m. Wilhemina Waldow) & Fredrick Leopold Neumann b. 1868 Germany (m. Albertine Brieskreutz) who settled in Duluth, MN in 1882 & 1891. Theodor is said to have come from near Weisbaden. Wm is said to have entered the USA in California, traveled by train to MN and later moved to Connecticut sometime in the 1905-1915 time frame. I have a photo of William as a young adult, but no other speciic record of him. Can anyone help?

Samuel Brown, husband of Polly, father of Asahel Brown (Asahel b. 1827 Canada East)

DanielPBrown — 9 Sep 2008 7:05:44 GMT

I am searching for information on Samuel Brown, father to Asahel Brown, who was born in Canada East in 1827.

I believe, based on Asahel's Federal Census answers, that Samuel Brown was born in Connecticut somewhere around the turn of the 19th Century, and moved to Canada East where he and his wife had a son, Asahel Brown, born 12 Aug 1827 (or 1828) in Canada East.

Asahel Brown migrated to Wisconsin and died in Jackson County in 1902.

They may have had other children named Samuel, Francis (or Frank), and Ellen.

I believe, based on Asahel's Federal Census answers, that Polly (maiden name unknown) was born in Vermont somewhere around the turn of the 19th Century.

I don't know if Samuel and Polly married in Canada or elsewhere.

I believe that Samuel and Polly may have been living in Lowell, Massachusetts at around 1848 to 1850, based on a marriage record for Asahel Brown, son of Samuel and Polly in 1848 there. There, Asahel married Lorinda Alger, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary Alger. I believe that Asahel and Lorinda divorced.

I would like to get birth, death and family information for Samuel and Polly and to learn what the other members of their family were.

Thanks!

Rene Cossitt

H. Clark Dean — 18 Jun 2000 12:00:00 GMT

According to "Tempest in a Small Town," a history of Granby CT (USA), Rene Cossitt came to Simsbury, CT after marrying Ruth Porter at Farmington CT in 1719, and "Born into French nobility in 1690, he had been educated at the University of Paris, and then Oxford. Family traditions differ on how he got to America, but somehow, in spite of his noble blood and Roman Catholicism, he ended up in Middletown CT after Queen Anne's war, where he taught school prior to his marriage."

Is it possible to access the enrollment records of the University of Paris in the period 1700 to 1710? Or to determine where the surname "Cossitt" might originate?

A check of records of Oxford Univ. in England revealed no Rene Cossitt in the early 1700's.

Lookup request: general Connecticut divorce record

valipow — 4 Jun 2008 1:19:27 GMT

I'm wondering if anyone has the ability to look up divorce records in CT. I'm not sure of the county. I found a copy of my father's divorce record from his first marriage a couple of years ago, but have since lost it. I don't recall the county, and though he was from Maine, I know that it said he and his first wife got divorced in Connecticut (mid to late 1960s). Can anyone look this up without a county? If so, I'll list the details. Thanks!

Can find no certainty of this either. I can find no other information on any of these families! Any information you have would be appreciated!

Seeking information on the family of Justin Loomis, b.1792 in Connecticut; married Eliza Drake; d.1872 in Grant township, Clare County, MI.

Their children were Justin, Jr., b. 1840 in Ohio; William F., b. 1844 in PA; James Buell, b. 1846 in PA; John Elwin, b. 1848 in PA; Marcus or Marques B., b. 1852 in PA; Matthew, b. 1855 in PA; and Emma b. 1858 in PA.

The 1850 census places the family in Elk Creek Twp, Erie County, PA; and the 1860 census places them in Rockdale Twp, Crawford County, PA., both times as farmers. They later moved to Michigan and we have a fairly complete linage from there.

However, we are having a difficult time tracing where in CT Justin was born and his parents’ names.

Any suggestions or information would be appreciated.

Lucius and Jane lived in Middlesex, Yates, New York. I have found them in the 1820, 30, 50 and 60 census. I have not located them in 1840 but suspect that the spelling of thier name is different so I will have to go through the record page by page to find them.

Abraham born Dec 1823 in New York married Ann Eliza Bennett (1833-1906) *My ancestors

1888 marriage for Woodworth and Cook need info

georgiacats — 31 Mar 2008 6:52:18 GMT

I am looking for a marriage between James Henry WOODWORTH born April 24, 1869, and Malvina COOK born around 1864-1869. I believe they would have been married around 1888. I do not know where they were married. I think they had five children: Madeline, Thornton, William, Maude, Susie, and Frank.

I assume that James Henry Woodworth abandoned this family because the children end up in a connecticut children's home and it looks like Malvina ends up working at Holy Family Institute in Hampden Massachusetts.

jeanensch — 30 Mar 2008 2:18:18 GMT

I’m looking for the descendants of Victor Tesch. His daughter Edmée Tesch, widow of Emile Metz, instituted a Foundation in Luxembourg, Europe, “Fondation veuve Emile Metz-Tesch”, in which two members of the board are to be nominated by the descendants of the above Victor Tesch.
http://www.legilux.public.lu/leg/a/archives/1928/0059/a059.p...

One of the family members, Hubert Collart (born 6 Dec 1905 in Steinfort, Luxembourg, died 28 Dec 1991 in Luxembourg ) has descendants in the United States. His obituary, published in the “Luxemburger Wort” 30 Dec 1991, mentions his daughter Anne Marie (Collart) Kniffin, residing in Connecticut with her children Edgar and Catherine Kniffin.

Has anyone genealogical data or information on the whereabouts of the above?

Olson Family, Meriden, CT

mariaakerlind — 26 Mar 2008 6:45:41 GMT

I am looking for more information about the John and Beda Olson family who lived in Meriden, CT during the 1920s and '30s.

Their children were Carl, Axel, Ernest W., John O., Harry, Edith, Clara, and Elsie. One son, called "Ollie", participated in WW1.

John, b. 1864 or '65, and Beda, b. 28 June 1870 (maiden name Sikstrom), emigrated from Sweden in 1892.
In 1900 the family lived in Fitchburg, Mass.

One of Beda's relatives, Wiktor Sikstrom b. 1862 in Sweden, may have lived nearby. Wiktor emigrated in 1880 at the age of 17.

If you know anything about this family, please reply to this post or contact me at mariaakerlind@hotmail.com.
Any new information would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Franklin Gale

jakebrake76_1 — 25 Mar 2008 12:27:02 GMT

Does anyone out there have any info on Franklin Gale? I know he was born in Connecticut. I am told he married Sallie May (not sure if that's her last name or middle name). He had at least one son Charles Gale (could be the name Francis Charles) Charles was born in Ohio and married Eliza Beers. Charles and Eliza had one daughter, the auther Zona Gale. What I'm wondering is, did Charles have any brothers or sisters. Charles was born sometime in 1845. He at some point moved out to Portage, Wisconsin.

Ezekiel Gillett

Looking for infoormation about family of my 4th great grandfather, Ezekiel Gillett. Born Feb. 3, 1743 Lebanon, CT. Died April 4, 1819 Hebron, CT. Enlisted in 2nd Regt., Connecticut Line July 1, 1880 as Private -- discharged Dec. 4, 1880. Married Dorcas Hawkins. Several of his sons moved to Delaware County, NY around 1800.

John William Hotchkiss birth, abt. 1840

peggyc2sky — 12 Mar 2008 1:53:33 GMT

When Armiah Alice Hotchkiss was baptised, her father was given as John William Hotchkiss of Brooklyn, NY. On later censuses, she said her father was from Connecticut. Where I do not know. On rootsweb, there is a John William from Bar Harbour, Maine with a sibling from Bar Harbour, Connecticut.
So it is puzzling. Armiah's mother was born 1843 so thinking John was a similar age but maybe not.
Any help appreciated.

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

knrivers — 5 Mar 2008 11:41:04 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!! :-)

Washburns in West Winsted, CT

DebEdwards — 29 Jun 2001 6:52:34 GMT

I have a picture of my husband's GGGgrandparents Washburn taken in West Winsted, Conn in 1887 and 1888. (I cannot find a West Winsted in existance anywhere so assume the name has been changed or it is just an area.) I do not know their given names, but believe they had children Mary, born June 19, 1862 who married Winfield Scott Ginther in 1882; Hiram, Frank, and Ella.

I know it is a long shot, but does anyone know anything about these people?

Thanks,
Debbie

moonmully — 18 Jan 2008 3:21:57 GMT

I'm trying to locate information on a Sarah Long who died in CT in the late 1800s.

She was born in England 1797-1799 and was living in Torrington, CT with her daughter Sarah in the 1850 and 1860 Census. I can not find a record of her after this date but I have information which leads me to believe she was living much later. She may have gone to live with her son. Her maiden name was Nichols or Nicholas.

Any information on her whereabouts after 1860 would be appreciated.

Neale/Fuller/Barnes

Bob Fuller — 11 Mar 2004 6:56:28 GMT

Your message about Jermiah Neale=Anna Fuller of Southington, CT names their oldest child as Laura and says she married a man named Barnes, and that her younger sister married his brother.
A long shot: my Fuller line lived in nearby Farmington/Burlington, CT from about 1755 to 1814, and my GtGtGfthr Ira Fuller (1793-1867) married an orphan named Sally Barnes (1795-1`877) who had moved from Ridgefield, CT to Lisle, NY, where she met and married Ira in 1814. I have long suspected that Ira's wife Sally was adopted by a related family in Ridgefield after a death in her original family in the Farmington/Burlington area (or possibly in the New Haven area). Sally's Ohio death certificate does not name her parents. Did your Laura Neale Barnes, like her younger sister, die leaving a daughter Sally who was adopted out?

I don't know where in CT Thomas was born. His father James was born in NY. His sister Ann was born abt 1865 NJ. Their mother died some time before the 1870 census and they were raised in Newark, NJ, with a stepmother. James' parents were both from Ireland. I don't know why they were in CT unless his wife was possibly from CT. I checked FamilySearch.org and Ancestry's Barbour collection, and have found nothing. Going to check CT GenWeb now.

I'm not familiar with research in CT. Any ideas where to search next? Thanks. Jo

Tirzah Knight's family, married Simeon Williams

k8ren — 23 Aug 2007 4:09:26 GMT

I am searching for the parents of Tirzah Knight who married Simeon Williams. Tirzah was born about 1763 in Connecticut and according to an old family letter, her brothers held high judicial office in CT. The Williams and Knight families lived in the "Valley" near the Connecticut River near Hartford and had a large estate called Meadow Lands. They died in Ripley Indiana before 1855.

Simeon might have been born in Stonington CT in 1763, in which case he was the son of Samuel Williams and Lois Allyn. Simeon and Tirzah had 9 children: John, Dyer, Dudley, Henry, Adin, Lois, Susan, Fanny and Sarah. I believe they lived in Hartland Vermont in 1790 and 1800, then Essex NY in 1810, then Butler Ohio in 1820 and 1830, then Ripley IN in 1840. Simeon supposedly died in 1847 and Tirzah around 1853, both in Ripley County, Indiana. Their children married into Indiana families named: Knapp, Doolittle, McLean, Burr, Strong, Cameron, Haven.

Does anyone recognize this Knight family?

Norcross Obituary - June 28, 1940

cmah2 — 10 Aug 2007 8:51:44 GMT

Dear fellow researchers:

I found this obituary in a Windsor newspaper, dated June 28, 1940, during my research. I do not know anything about this family. However, it might help someone in their search for information.

EDWARD A. NORCROSS

Edward A. Norcross, 61, for many years a prominent businessman of Windsor, died early Tuesday morning, June 25, at the Hartford Hospital following an illness of two months. Mr. Norcross was born in Windsor, the son of Augustus Lovell and Etta George Norcross. Most of his life was spent in Windsor and in 1909 he purchased the laundry business formerly conducted by the late Fred W. Marks and continued it until 1935 when he retired. In 1920 Mr. Norcross built the large brick building at the corner of Court St. and Bloomfield Ave.
Mr. Norcross leaves his wife, Mrs. Lillian Silbereissen Norcross, and a niece, Mrs. Lillian Bagshaw Woeber.

Happy Hunting,

I recently got a copy of Timothy Regan's Death Certificate. Timothy lived in Bridgeport, Ct. having Immigrated to the US from Ireland around 1863/4 with his wife Catherine Carey and daughter Ellen(Nellie). on his Death Cert. it lists his Father as Michael. during the 1880s there was a Michael living with him off and on till about 1889 after which he disapeared. I am hoping to learn more about his Irish Roots. If anyone has information please Contact me.
