On February 5, 2000, I received the following e-mail:

"Hi, my family goes back to Fairfield county (which I know little about)
I have some old Conn.. pictures I would like to share . . .
One is a photo of the 100 year anniversary of Westport,
another is of a "Congregational Church with a date of 1897, plus others.
Any suggestions? I have them scanned in and saved as jpg files. . .

I have a large family photo taken in mid 1800's of
'Jennings, Hull, and Alvord' families with what looks like a church in the
background, the picture has a list of names from left to right. Suggestions?"
Thanks, Celeste Stevens.

Connie has more family history of her family at:

note: Celeste would like to know about the area called "Green's Farms."
Says Celeste, "My grandmother has some old items mentioning it."

MARY BURR JENNINGS ( MRS. JOHN H. JENNINGS).

NOTE: The initial "J" is for JENNINGS. Says Celeste Stevens, "
This picture was found in some of my mother's things."

Celeste titled this photo, "100 year Westport Reunion."
She doesn't know the identity of these people.
