Researching Philena Gladding(?) (1828-1918); believe she married Franklin Blakesley (1828-1913)- they had 6 children and lived in Farmington, CT. Have heard that the Philena who married Franklin Blakesley may have been of Schaghticoke Tribal Nation of CT. Any Gladding heard of this possible Native American connection???
Also, have research info on other GLADDINGs in CT - including Stephen, Josiah, Amos B.- would like to share. Please email me direct at
