From something else I read, and I don't remember what it was, Rev. Daniel Boardman's slave that gave the name MaryLand to the farm was named Primus. Could it be the same one???
The location is the former St. Matthews Cemetery on East Plymouth Road in Terryville, also known as East Church or East Plymouth. Locally, it is near and known for Tories Den.
I'd really like to know more about Mr. & Mrs. Primus. As a former slave, local records do not have more information. Those that were not slaves are far easier to research.

TOWN OF NEW MILFORD - LITCHFIELD COUNTY - CONNECTICUT
EARLY HISTORY - AS PUBLISHED IN 1837
"The next religious society in the order of time is the Episcopalian. Some individuals of that profession came into this town at an earlier period, but no stated worship was held here till somewhere between the years 1740 and 1745. Worship was then carried on here by the Rev. Beach of Newtown. One Mr. Barzillai Dean read service here for several years, then went to England for orders, with a view to settle here on his return, but died on his passage. The first Episcopal minister who came and resided in this town, was the Rev. Solomon Palmer from Cornwall. He came in the year 1754, and removed to Litchfield about the year 1760; was minister here about six years. The second was the Rev. Thomas Davis from Washington. He came here about the year 1761, and died in this town May 12th, 1766, in the 30th year of his age, and the sixth year of his ministry."

I am a Long Island/New York novelist with family in New Milford, Conn. Some years back, my family told me the story of a local young man who needed a heart transplant. The whole town got behind this project - car washes, plant sales, bake sales - and helped to raise enough money for the boy's surgery - which was successful - but only a short time after the surgery, the young man was killed in a car crash. I've been intrigued by this story for a long time, and am doing research for a book - can anyone give me any info?

I am looking for an Epenetus B. PLATT born abt. 1777. I do not know who his parents are. He married Eve/Eva ? b. abt. 1782. I do not know her maiden name or parents' names. I believe that Epenetus was a blacksmith. He and Eve are buried in Salisbury Rural Cemetery, Salisbury, Herkimer Co., NY. The names of their known children are: Hannah, Samuel, Anna, John, Mary, George, Nancy, Sophia, Lucinda, and Cornelius. I descend from Sophia. The family appears in the Salisbury, NY area by the 1810 census. Sophia was born in 1819, so if this family was indeed in the New Milford area, chances are that some of the children were born there.

I am looking for James Stephen Stuart, grandson of Lord Charles Stuart Murray and husband of Elizabeth Bull. I am told that his name at one time appeared in town records for transfers of real estate, the earliest date would have been 1766 and the latest date being 1783. I also have information that he was a member of the Episcopal Church. There may also be evidence that he possibly lived in New Fairfield between the years of 1777-1778 and possible records of him in Woodville also. I also have a statement from township clerk of Kent, Jerome F. Gibbs in County of Litchfield, Kent dated August 18, 1835 with a name of Marshall G. Gibbs, Justice of the Peace, stating many inquiries over the Stephen Stuart records or descent. Also some information about a missing box from the office about 25 years before that.
I do hope that the information I have provided will help. I am tracing my family tree and it seems that my family may have come from Scotland. My ancestors left such poor records that I am having much trouble finding many of them. Please help this search has been going on for many years and I would like to close it soon.

My name is Amy Hunter and I am working on some history for our historical society in Berlin Heights, Ohio. I am hoping maybe you can help me. I recently found two work journals written by my GGG Grandfather Joseph S. Lowry. In the first entry of 1828 he writes that Everton Judson describes a "meeting place" or church that he saw in New Milford CT. He describes exactly with measurements and all. It has 6 huge pillars in the front and is Grecian in style. Do you have any idea if this church still stands today? Or maybe if there are any known photos?? I have a photo of the one my GGG Grandfather built in 1838 here in Ohio and am wondering if they do resemble each other. Everton Judson became the minister in the church at Milan, Ohio.

My name is Jenifer Hoffman. While I was visiting an antique store in Hagerstown, MD I purchased an antique sampler (school girl embroidery). The sampler is signed Elizabeth Mary Wallers Sampler Newmilford age 13 June 17, 1829. She did list her parents initials as LC for her mother and E or B W for her father. There are also the initials of HM on the sampler and this is probably the person who taught her to stitch it. I have been all over your web site trying to research the sampler as best as I can but have only found a few Waller names listed and can not seem to tie them to Elizabeth Mary. By the stitching and type of Sampler I believe she was a Quaker, but I could be wrong. Any help you could give to try to locate Elizabeth Mary's history would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely,

I'm researching my Taylor family who were in New Milford ca late 1700s/early
1800s. My interests are as follows:
Daniel Taylor, b. 1735, d. abt 10 May 1805, probably in or around New Milford,
Litchfield Co., CT. His will was recorded in New Milford 25 Jan 1803 (I have a
copy of it) and was exhibited there 13 Jan 1805. His wife's name was Abigail
(?Elliott). I'm trying to locate a death record for Daniel.
Daniel's children were reportedly born in or around New Milford, and I'm
interested in locating records for the following son:
Abraham Taylor, b. 17 May 1765 in New Milford Twp., Litchfield Co., CT; d. 9 Jun
1839 in Bradford Co, PA. His wife was Mary Stone (dtr of Ithiel Stone and Martha
Baldwin), b. 28 Dec 1765 in New Milford, d. 8 Nov 1836 in Stevensville, Bradford
Co., PA. They were married 30 Mar 1786 in New Milford, CT. I'd like to find a
birth record for both Abraham and Mary, and a marriage record for them and
haven't had any luck so far.
The other children I have listed for Abraham and Mary Taylor are Thomas Taylor,
Nathanial Taylor (called Nathanial Taylor Jr. in Daniel's will), Nathan Elliot
Taylor, Eunice Taylor, Luana Taylor, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Abraham Taylor's line supposedly goes back to John Taylor (m. Rhoda Tinker), one
of the founders of Windsor, CT. I'm trying to prove the Taylor line back from
Abraham and am having trouble locating records. Thanks in advance for any help!
If anyone is related to this line, I'll gladly share what information I have to

I just found and read your information on Rev. Thomas Lewis and Joanna Booth compiled from Biographical Sketches of the Graduates of Yale College with Annals of the College History, October 1741-May 1745. I have done extensive research looking for the parents of Thomas Lewis married Mary Turrell.
I wrote to Yale University and obtained a copy of Dexter, Yale Biographies and Annals 1701-1745. This biography on Rev. Thomas Lewis list his children but does not list Thomas as one of his sons. Does your source list Thomas as his son. If so, can you tell me where I can obtain a copy of this document? I have been researching the Lewis family for over 10 years but stopped looking for Thomas' parents when the biography I received did not list him as the son of Rev. Thomas Lewis.
A source that I have lists Thomas as a descendant of George Lewis and Sarah Jenkins from England but so far I have not been able to make the connection.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Would someone kindly tell me who Helen Marx is (was)? A park was named after her. I'm not sure of the road, but it is past Young's Field on the left in New Milford. I'm just trying to figure out why a park would be named in her honor, when I cannot seem to find out who she was. Thank you in advance.

I'm hitting one rock wall after another and looking for anyone who might be able to help. I'm researching the Samuel Allen family of Pittstown/Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY and his descendents through his 16 children. Apparently some of these children have links with New Milford, Litchfield Co, CT. I am very interested in corresponding with people knowledgeable/interested in any of these families. My source data on these particular lines is primarily through the Ritchie Collection in Saratoga Historical Society Library in Ballston Spa, NY...I have not yet done much primary sourcing on the information below except as noted.
Samuel Allen m. Sarah Shepard Hammond about 1766 and moved (prob from Dutchess Co, NY) to Pittstown/Hoosick, Rensselaer Co, NY. They had a family of 16 children. Samuel died in 1816; I have transcribed and posted online his will, which mentions his children. His daughters (excepting Phoebe) were married by that time and mentioned by their married names: Ruth Swift, Sarah Rose, Martha Tallman. He left the farm to his twin sons Henry and Ethan Allen and their elder brother Isaac. Isaac died in 1819 intestate. Jabez and Ruth Swift bought out the brother's interest in the farm in about 1821. Jabez and Ruth are listed there in the 1820 Census, but by 1830 had moved to Milton, Saratoga Co, NY. They disappear after that.
Links to New Milford:
Henry Allen, b. ca 1789 married Hettie Terrill of New Milford, dau of John Terrill and Elizabeth Buck. They lived in Clifton Park, Saratoga Co, NY until around Henry's death in 1820. Hettie moved back to New Milford and probably remarried. Her two children with Henry: George Minor Allen (b. ca
1824) and Sarah Elizabeth Allen (born ca 1826) lived and died in New Milford. George Minor married Dorothy Jeanette Crane. He lived/died in the New Milford area and raised four children there. Sarah Elizabeth Allen married Irwin B. Gaylord and died in Gaylordsville at age 22; she is buried in the cemetery there. I do not know where George Allen is buried, nor do I know anything more about these families, Hettie's family, or that of her children.
I have a suspicion that the Jabez Swift who married Ruth Allen was also from Litchfield Co. There are Swifts by that name there, but I cannot find the linkage.
Ethan Allen, Henry's brother, is said to have married a Sophia Montgomery, but there my info comes to a screeching halt! I have tracked many of Samuel's 16 children, but am grabbing at straws for Ethan Allen, John Allen, Sophia Montgomery, Martha Tallman, Sarah Rose, Thomas Allen. If any of these names or this family rings familiar place contact me!
Very little of the information above is confirmed by primary sources, most of it is drawn from the Ritchie Collection in the Saratoga Historical Society Library.
I would be most interested in corresponding with anyone interested or knowledgeable about the Terrill, Allen, or related families. My research interest is primarily the Allen Family of Pittstown/Hoosick... and tracking their brood of 16 children.

Alsemina PEET
My info suggests that a Alsemina PEET who was married Isaac Caldwell in Sandgate,
VT Congregational Church in 1789, was somehow related to either Elijah PEET or
some other PEET from New Milford. Any help in how and when they migrated would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Fisher- Lewis- Morgan families.
I am looking for the marriage record of Caroline Lewis and Orlando Morgan.
Caroline was born in New Milford to Chloe Fisher and Abner Lewis about 1834. She
married Orlando Morgan, I believe in New Milford. I do not know where Orlando is
from but he was born in 1829.
