"Branford was purchased [from the local Totokett native Americans] by New Haven colonists in 1638, a few days after they had bought New Haven.... Sept. 5th, 1640, the General Court at New Haven made a grant of a tract, the Indian name of which was Totokett, to Samuel Eaton, brother of [New Haven] Governor [Theophylus] Eaton, upon the condition of his procuring a number of his friends from England to make a settlement in that tract of country. Mr Eaton failed in fulfilling the conditions. Reverend Samuel Eaton, hounded out of England for his non-conformist religious practices, had come with his brother Theophylus to found New Haven about 1637. He returned to England in 1640 not only to round up settlers for Totokett but to clear his name. It was not a good time to recruit new settlers as the puritans and allied Scottish protestants had by then gained the upper hand in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and puritan migration to New England dropped off abruptly. Samuel Eaton himself remained in England. About three years after [in 1644] the subject was acted upon thus: 'Totokett, a place fit for a small plantaton betwixt New Haven and Guilford [founded in 1639], and purchsed from the Indians, was granted to Mr Swayne and some others in Weathersfield [on the Connecticut river], which, they duly considering, accepted.'"Charles M. Taintor, compiler, "Early Records of Brainford, now Branford, CT.," in ''NEHGR'' 3(1849):153- (https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=_oweAQAAMAAJ&pg=GBS.PA152-IA2&hl=en ) Citing New Haven Records in Barber's Hist. Cols. Ct. 188-9. A part of the separate New Haven Colony until 1664 (when it was merged into Connecticut Colony), Branford was sandwiched between the larger settlements of New Haven to the west and Guilford to the east.

Also attached is another map showing the apparent locations of the 17th century home lots of various Branford residents. The map was compiled by [[Hammer-2966|Delphina Lundsteen (Hammer) Clark (1892-1984)]], the first female graduate of the Yale School of Architecture, who made a thorough study of the early land records of Branford to fit together a map of the plots -- as if assembling a jigsaw puzzle.The map is now in the archives of the Branford Historical Society held at Branford's Blackstone Library.

The upholdment of such church officers shall not want our proportional supply of maintenance, according to rule. We will not in any wise encroach upon or disturb their liberties in so walking from time to time, and at all times: nor will we be in any ways injurious to them in civil or ecclesiastical respects.

"Branford was purchased [from the local Totokett native Americans] by New Haven colonists in 1638, a few days after they had bought New Haven.... Sept. 5th, 1640, the General Court at New Haven made a grant of a tract, the Indian name of which was Totokett, to Samuel Eaton, brother of [New Haven] Governor [Theophylus] Eaton, upon the condition of his procuring a number of his friends from England to make a settlement in that tract of country. Mr Eaton failed in fulfilling the conditions. Reverend Samuel Eaton, hounded out of England for his non-conformist religious practices, had come with his brother Theophylus to found New Haven about 1637. He returned to England in 1640 not only to round up settlers for Totokett but to clear his name. It was not a good time to recruit new settlers as the puritans and allied Scottish protestants had by then gained the upper hand in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and puritan migration to New England dropped off abruptly. Samuel Eaton himself remained in England. About three years after [in 1644] the subject was acted upon thus: 'Totokett, a place fit for a small plantaton betwixt New Haven and Guilford [founded in 1639], and purchsed from the Indians, was granted to Mr Swayne and some others in Weathersfield [on the Connecticut river], which, they duly considering, accepted.'"Charles M.

The map was compiled by [[Hammer-2966|Delphina Lundsteen (Hammer) Clark (1892-1984)]], the first female graduate of the Yale School of Architecture, who made a thorough study of the early land records of Branford to fit together a map of the plots -- as if assembling a jigsaw puzzle.The map is now in the archives of the Branford Historical Society held at Branford's Blackstone Library.

We all do see cause now for to agree that an orthodox minister of that judgment shall be called to it and among us. The gathering of such a church shall be encouraged. The upholdment of such church officers shall not want our proportional supply of maintenance, according to rule. We will not in any wise encroach upon or disturb their liberties in so walking from time to time, and at all times: nor will we be in any ways injurious to them in civil or ecclesiastical respects. And this we freely and voluntarily engage ourselves unto, jointly and severally, so long as we remain inhabitants of this place, and this we bind ourselves unto by our subscription to this agreement.

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Connecticut Note: Connecticut ratified the Constitution of the United States and officially became a state in the Union on January 9, 1788. Each of the original colonies had different dates of official joining the Union. But this is not the date people remember. This was not the date we declared our intent to become an independant nation. On July 4, 1776, in big bold letters reads: '''The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America''' Note: There were no counties in Connecticut prior to 10 May 1666, and county government was abolished in 1960.

The army landed in Fairfield and marched twenty-five miles directly to Danbury. The unarmed Continental troops at Danbury and many of the citizens withdrew from town before the destroyers arrived at 3:00 in the afternoon of April 26. Persons were murdered, including a four persons inside a house they set afire. Only the persons and property of Tories were spared the cruelty. Early on the morning of the 27th they set fire to the town destroying nineteen houses, the meeting house of the New Danbury Society and twenty-two stores and barns.

[[Category:Simsbury, Connecticut]] ===Early History of Simsbury=== ''Citations in the following should be verified. Any possible unintended plagiarism should be eliminated.'' From Trumbull, ''Memorial History of Hartford County'', 2:355: : The problem of fencing the improved lands of Simsbury was for years a source of contention among the town’s inhabitants. Much of the mandated fencing had never been erected, and maintenance had always been difficult. Contention arose when neighbors’ cattle grazing in common lands overstepped into neighbors cultivated fields and ruined them. In view of the fact that Simsbury was such a huge town--ten miles long and ten miles wide--it was also obviously impossible to protect the whole area from wolves and other predators. Many attempts were made to solve the problems, sometimes by enactments of the town meeting, sometimes through voluntary associations. : After Simsbury finally laid the matter before the General Court, a committee of the Court ruled that all proprietors should be responsible for the cost of fencing the land extending from the border of Fannington seven miles north to John Higley’s land on both sides of the river, with specific men living on the east side charged with building the fence on the western border and another specific group on the west side building the eastern fence. Although this order roused grumbling it was carried out, and there was actually a general improvement in the situation. However by 1703 disputes became more frequent. Several farmers at Weatogue had in the meantime banded together in loose groups to fence, their own farms for protection, and that idea spread and eventually became common practice. : In spite of his boyhood infraction of the fence law, John Humphrey served as surveyor and fence viewer in later life, overseeing the maintenance of the fencing and making sure no one moved any of it. The fence viewer had an assistant called a "pounder," who had the power to condemn stray livestock and put them in a pound until they were redeemed by their owner. : There had been a public school system in the Colony of Connecticut since 1650, fifteen years after the first settlement at Windsor, when the General Court decreed that any town having more than fifty householders must hire a schoolmaster and pay his salary. Simsbury had grown enough by 1701 to require a schoolmaster, John Slater, who was hired "to teach such of said town Children as are sent, to read, writ, and to cypher, or to say the rules of arithmatick." . From Stiles: {{Citation needed}} : In 1713 John Humphrey, Jr. was appointed to the Simsbury school committee. By that time Simsbury had schools on both sides of the river, all to be "keept up five months in one year, at least," and at least four schooldames and one schoolmaster [Ibid.]. Paper was a very scarce commodity; writing and number work were done on birch bark, using quill pens and ink made by boiling the berries of the sumac tree. The New Testament was the chief textbook for the teaching of reading. : The laws of the Connecticut Colony pertaining to the common school system included the following stipulations ::1. An obligation on the part of every parent and guardian of children "not to suffer so much barbarism in any of their families as to have a single child or apprentice unable to read the holy word of God, and the good laws of the colony," and to "bring them up to some lawful calling or employment," under a penalty for failing to do so. ::2. A tax of forty shillings on every thousand pounds of the lists of estates to be collected in every town with the annual colony tax, payable proportionately only to those towns which should keep their schools according to law. ::3. A common school in every town having over seventy families, kept throughout the year; and in every town with less than seventy families, kept for at least six months in the year. ::4. A grammar school in each of the four head county towns to fit youth for college, two of which grammar schools must be free. ::5. A collegiate school, toward which the General Court made an annual appropriation of £120. ::6. Provision for the religious instruction of the Indians [Stiles, 1:401]. Theoretically the town meeting was responsible for all religious and school matters. In practice, the administration of the schools gradually was vested in the ecclesiastical societies, which emerged in 1736 to administer church affairs; it was not until 1795 that a secular school society was formed and school funds transferred into its hands.

''As for our gathering together into a church way and the choice officers and members to be joined together in that way, we do refer ourselves until such time as it shall please God to settle us in our plantation.''

[[Project:Connecticut|Connecticut Project]] Hartford was founded on the west bank of the Connecticut River (Great River), and on both sides of the Park River (Little River or Riveret) that flows into the Great River from the west. The Little River divided Hartford into a North and South Side. Separate records and administration were exercised on the separate sides for the first two years or so until a town vote prohibited the continuation of the practice. The original records (Side Books) are lost. In the early days of the colony the inhabitants of the several towns (Hartford, Wethersfield, Windsor, realizing the great danger from fire and consequent loss thereby, took stringent measures to protect themselves. In 1635 the inhabitants of Hartford in public meeting assembled passed this vote: "It is ordrd that euery howse shall haue a Ladder or tre at Most w ch shall reach [within] Two ffoote of the Topp of his howse vppon [the] forfetuer of five shillings A mounth for [each] mounth he shall want the same." As a further guard against fire the town annually chose two or more persons to act as Chimney viewers, and on February 9, 1645-'46 their duties were thus defined: "it is ordred at the same meting that they shall vew the chimnies ffrom the end of September vnto the end of aprill onse euery three weekes. ffrom thense vntell September onse euery six weekes thaie shall giue notes of the time that thaie will go to ueiw & if the be not Cleand thaye shall forfit twellue pense ffor euery sutch defalk yt be the cheefe in habitense in euerie sutch howse & in case they doe neglect to vew as abovesaied thay shall [for] fit ffor uerie [ ] that it be proued [ twe]llue pense". In the early days of the colonies there were very few of the inhabitants bred to the law and cases before the inferior courts and sometimes the General Court were argued by the parties themselves or by some other person as an act of friendship or for pay. As a protection from the Indians all the males of suitable age in each town were obliged to do guard duty; any unnecessary discharging of firearms was forbidden. For many years from the settlement of the colony it was the custom of the inhabitants of a town to pasture their cattle together. In order that each person might know his own property it was necessary that each animal should be marked and these marks were entered upon the Town Records.

Welcome to the Stonington, One Place Study Page
== {{One Place Study | place = Stonington, Connecticut |category= Stonington, Connecticut One Place Study}} ====About Stonington, New London, Connecticut:==== * "...the white men continually applied Indian names to features of the landscape that were not at all in the Indian mind when they coined the word. Thus a word meaning a hill might be applied by the white men to all the surrounding territory and come eventually to mean a pond. And so the Indian names, or their Indian approximates, have come down to us not in the names of the towns, which the white men were creating in the tradition of their own race, but in features of the countryside streams, mountains, hills and other natural aspects." Stonington was the fifteenth (15th) Settlement in Connecticut and was settled 1649; named Souther Towne, by Mass., Oct., 1658; Stonington by Conn., 1666. Indian names, "Pawcatuck" and "Mistack."Secretary of the State Denise W. Merrill, ''Connecticut Towns In The Order Of Their Establishment; With The Origin of Their Names'', Connecticut's Official Website, Retrieved from: https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Register-Manual/SectionVII/Connecticut-Towns-in-the-Order-of-their-Establishment?fbclid=IwAR04kIgtL7JBpk8tOHnMTqf-0R1yZ1K_d8pQT8G56TsY4R-PNQnBW_xc5iI * "The town of Stonington shares its eastern border with Westerly, Rhode Island, and is located in the southeast corner of New London County. The town includes the eastern halves of the villages of Mystic and Old Mystic, the borough of Stonington, and the villages of Lords Point, Wequetequok, and Pawcatuck. Settled in 1649 and named Stonington in 1666, the town grew as its shipbuilding and whaling industries thrived. Even today, the state’s last commercial fishing fleet is based in Stonington. The town, and especially the village of Mystic, is also a popular tourist destination, with a lively historic district, museums, and retail shops."''ConnecticutHistory.org'': View at: [ConneciticutHistory.org: Stonington: https://connecticuthistory.org/towns-page/stonington]/ * ''It would be interesting to know how Mr. Stanton appeased the wrath of the Court and the Commissioners, but adding this to other impossible things we learn that the next year he and his family moved to Wequetequock Cove, two and a half miles east of Stonington. This was in 1658. The first settler upon the shores of that cove was William Chesebrough, in 1649; the next was Walter Palmer, who came to Salem, Massachusetts, from Nottinghamshire, England, in 1629. The third settler was Mr. Stanton. In October, 1658, this territory belonged to the Massachusetts Plantation, what is now Stonington, New London County, Connecticut, was then Southington, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The court ordered it managed by Capt. George Denison, Robert Park, William Chesebrough, Thomas Stanton and Walter Palmer. In 1662, Charles II gave Connecticut a new charter that included Southington, in 1665 the name was changed to Mystic, and in 1667 the final change was made to Stonington. The first meeting-house was built in 1661.William A. Stanton, Ph.

What a person did for a living tells much about the person and their daily interactions with their friends and neighbors. :* Creating a list of Churches and as many records as we can get our hands on to help not only in the documentation of our findings, but to help with the analysis of trends, births, marriages and deaths. :* Getting together in one place a list of historical events that did not seem important to historians (A couple of examples: one of my ancestors was killed while out hunting bears by Native American's of the area because he refused to leave the area, cease his hunting of the bears and leave the hunting to them; as much as many people have tried to put Mary (Wheeler) Bolles into my family tree, she is not one of my relatives, but the history of this woman while tragic, is only mentioned as facts, depending on who's account you read, and it is not in every account you read.
