I am looking for information on a Nathan GROSVENOR ca 1796-1846 who married a Catharine M ca. 1825   They had children born in NY named Hiram, Lucy, John Allen, Nina, Cyrus. H., and Wellington.  We have what I would call an Anglican Prayer book inscribed by Nathan Grosvenor in the year 1812 and published by John Babcock, Hartford in 1799.  For some reason I think this Nathan is one of the sons of Dr. William GROSVENOR who lived in Tolland,Tolland, CT and died in 1798.  I know that Dr. Grosvenor's wife's father was Nathaniel Williams and he and his wife tried very hard to have a son named "Nathan" and some researchers list several "Nathans" as being born to this couple but died shortly after birth.  However these Nathans are not buried with their father in Tolland.  I also know that a Launson (?) GROSVENOR is buried with Nathan in McLean TWP, Shelby County, OH and we have no idea who this person is or his/her relationship to Nathan.  If you have any information on this family I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thank you.

Ronald Nowak July 2, 2003

I'm searching for family members of the late Franklin Prague. If Frank was in the military and served in either California and/or Fort McCoy Wisconsin, I'de be interested in speaking with relatives. From what I can gather, if this is the correct Franklin, he fathered a daughter through a relationship he had with an Elizabeth Mull, possibly Brown or Belky at that time (1940s). The daughter I speak of is my mother and she never knew her father. Elizebeth also provided the name of Frank Prague over the years and leading up to her passing. I'm not intersted in causing the family any sort of grief, just a desire to know of my own history and my mothers history. If the family has no desire to respond, I will fully understand and respect that.

Joe Tolland May 20, 2004

I have long been curious as to the origin of the name Tolland.  In my travels of fifty plus years around the country and indeed to a number of areas around the world I always check the name in the phonebooks to see it if appears.  Most often it does not.  It is, to say the least, not overused as a family name.  Do you have any idea where the name of your town came from?  Was it selected by the group of men who bought the land from the Indians or was it chosen later?   Any idea why they chose Tolland?

Thank you for any information you might have to share.

Matt Putnam August 10, 2004

Hello I am searching for any information concerning members of the Putnam family who may have lived in the town of Tolland, Conn. in the 1780s.

There was a Frederick Putnam born in Nov. 1786 somewhere in Connecticut who died in 1864 in Clarendon, Genesee Co., NY. On his death certificate it is stated that he was born in Tolland, Connecticut. This death reference may mean either Tolland Town or County. The certificate however did not state the name of Frederick's parents.

There are descendants of this Frederick Putnam who have been trying for years to discover the names of his parents. I am co-writing a Putnam Family genealogy book and have been trying to help solve this mystery with little apparent success.

The best clues we have are two deeds on record in Shaftsbury, Vermont. On 21 June 1784 Asa Rose of Norwich, New London Co., Conn. for 50 pounds sold two lots of land in Shaftsbury, Vt. to Charles Putnam of Tolland, Hartford Co., Conn. This deed was witnessed by Lucretia Huntington and Rufus Lathrop (Shaftsbury Vt. deeds, book 2: page 17). On 15 November 1784 Charles Putnam of Tolland, Hartford Co., Conn. for 56 pounds sold the same two lots of land to John Holley of Shaftsbury. This deed was witnessed by David Galusha and Charles Spencer (Shaftsbury Vt. deeds, book 2: page 20).

This Charles Putnam is well researched and is known to have married Martha Rose on 27 May 1762 in Preston, New London Co., Conn. They had nine children including Frederick (b. 1763), Eleazer (b. 1764), Sarah (b. 1766), Apphia (b. 1768), Alice (b. 1772), Charles (b. 1774), Lucy (b. 1776), Catherine (b. 1778), George (b. 1781), Martha (b. 1785), and Roderick (b. 1789).

The son eldest son in this family, Frederick Putnam, later married Mary King and had a family of his own. However the Frederick Putnam born in November 1786, apparently in Tolland, Conn., is not one of them. The name Frederick was common in this family though and Charles Putnam was a resident of the town of Tolland in 1784. The Frederick Putnam born in Nov. 1786 seems to be somehow connected to this family. If anyone has any information on this family please post a message here or e-mail me at MPutnam823@aol.com.
