transaction with Jonathan Weeks in 1808. The early land records list him
as Joseph Weeks Jr. Joseph and Delia Griggs Weeks had; 1) Pamela who married

3) Daniel Brother # 3 Jonathan Weeks born @ 1782, Waterford section of

it is stated in Ashford, CT records. Barnard, VT records state the name
of the mother of the three children born there to be Elizabeth Child. The
children born in Barnard, VT are Charlotte born 10 May 1800, Charles born
4 Jan 1803 and David Dana Nelson Weeks born 1 March 1806. There was also
a son Jonathan born, place unknown. Jonathan Sr., bought land in Barnard,
VT in 1810 and was in the War of 1812, from Barnard. David Dana Nelson

married 2nd Harriet Treat 10 Apr 1855, Almond, NY. From this marriage a

Weeks lived in Ellincot, Chautaqua Co., NY and had lived in Almond, Alleganey

5/6/1997 Philip E. Munson According
to notes in a family scrapbook, my g,g,g grandfather, William McGraw, s.of
Christopher, was born in Norwich, CT in 1788 and died 12/16/1846, place
unknown. On 1/17/1815, he m. Ruby Bushnell, born 11/27/1792 or 96 in Norwich,
CT, perhaps the daughter of Jonathan and Edna (Brewster) Bushnell. In spite
of rather extensive search of records in the Connecticut State Library
and in Norwich, I have been unable to substantiate any of the above notes
except that I do know that Ruby died in Montecello, Otsego Co., NY 4/28/1874.
Fact is, in all my research, I never located any McGraw name in early Connecticut.
If anyone has run into one of these names or has any suggestions, I shall
sincerely appreciate hearing from you..

8/11/97 Cory Panshin John PADGETT
who settled in Chenango County, NY in the 1780s is said to have landed
first in Connecticut when he arrived from England c. 1772. The names of
several of John Padgett's children's spouses (Preston, Shapley), as well
as of certain towns in Chenango county (Norwich, Preston) suggest a possible
connection with New London. Does anyone know anything about either English
immigrants arriving at New London in the 1770s or families with these names

and the two surnames have often been confused or assumed to be the same
by historians, often leading to errors in the records.

04 Sep 1997Dave Furstenau I'm trying
to find the parents of JOHN F. McCARTY Sr., who was born 11 Sep 1852/3
in Fitchville, New LondonCo, CT. I'm guessing his family might appear in
the 1860 census, but that volume is missing from our State Historical Society
library. I know that he married MARGARET T. THOMPSON (b: Mar 1865, WI)
and had (7) children FRANK, WILLIAM, JOHN, DENNIS, MARY, HUGH & JEROME
-- but that was after he moved away from Connecticut (to IAKSNE), so that
won't help much. His sons were mostly railroadmen, so perhaps that will
provide a clue. Ultimately, I'm angling to find this branches hometown
in Ireland. The name *might* be McCARTHY, but my docs seem to keep a consistent
spelling to the contrary. Any leads gratefully appreciated.

Mon, 15 Sep 1997 David Wayne Hurd
I would appreciate whatever you can find on my great grandparents, Harry
HURD (also spelled HERD, b.circa 1857, England), m. Anna GILLETTE (b.circa
1855, England). They settled in Taftville, New London Co., Connecticut.
Harry's father's name may have been either Henry or Harry. The name Harry
was passed down from my great grandfather, to my grandfather, to my uncle
and to another of my grandfather's nephews. Family tradition has it that
Harry and Anna came to CT,USA just before 1898, via a port in Lancashire,
my uncle thinks it was either Blackpool or Liverpool. They would have had
as many as 6 children prior to 1898, probably Grimshaw, Mary, John and
Walter. There is no idea where in Lancashire they resided, family tradition
has it that my cousin, John HURD, while a pilot in WWII, was stationed
in England and went to Lancashire to lookup some HURDs, and found some.
They were family and had wondered whatever happened to Harry and Anna's
family. John died in WWII without passing on any particulars.
