Record says that: Isaac was born in Washington CT and married Mary Gibson
19Feb 1778 in Washington. Resided in Wells, VT. Old family letter states that
Isaac took up land in Wells but returned to Washington because of Indians. He
was first married to Elizabeth How or Howe. Am looking for burials of Isaac in
1808 and/or wives Elizabet and Mary. Do you have cemetery listings for the area?
Or does some organization walk the cemeteries and make listings? Do you have
records of births attributed to the Goodsell family?
Quote from letter written by Nancy F. Glass:
In a very early day, my grandfather, Isaac Goodsell went to Wells, Vt. and
purchased land, settled on it, calculating to make it his future home; but soon
the Revolution came and when war broke out the depredations of the Indians were
fearful, so he returned to his old home, Washington, Conn. with his family. His
wife's name was Elizabeth Howe. In the year 1787 Daniel Goodsell, his son, came
to take possession of those lands.--- He moved with his wife and child to Wells
in the year 1788 where he resided for 16 yrs. They had a family of six children.
--- His mind then set for the west, he sold his possessions, moved to Honoeye
Falls, Ont. Co., NY.

I am researching my Wooster line of family tree. I have some initial
information from an old family bible that suggests that my grandfather David L.
Wooster (b. 1800, d. 1863) father's name was :
Isaac Wooster (b. 12/4/1768?...per family bible entry or christened on 2/4/1768
in Roxbury, CT.....per CT birth records... d. 4/4/1840) married to Hulda...Unknown
or possibly her maiden name was Hitchcock? (b. 10/4/1765 or 10/4/1766? in New
Milford, CT d. 3/12/1840.) Children of this marriage.......Olive Wooster
(b. 1790), Mabel Wooster (b. 1792) and David L. Wooster (b. 1800, d. 1863.)
I would appreciate any information on subject Isaac Wooster and wife Hulda.......especially
any additional marriage or birth information that is not already documented in
the Barbour Collection would corroborate the above initial information that was
gathered.
I have found that the 1790 Fed Census documents an Isaac Wooster residing in
Litchfield County and subsequent 1820 Fed Census that documents and Isaac
Wooster residing in Madison Co., NY. I have good sources that tie my Wooster
family into Madison Co in early-mid 1800s but would like to tie family source
info back eastward into CT.

I have the actual/but damaged Revolutionary War discharge paper
of my "many-greats" grandfather
William Diddy
who was discharged from the British Army, 53rd Regiment at
Montreal on December 24, 1783 having served
eight years. He was from Norwich England and an illiterate
weaver. I think that he traveled from Montreal to Washington, CT
and married Susan(nah?) Quackenbush. One of their son's was
John Quackenbush Deady (he changed the spelling of the last
name from Diddy to Deady) . The family moved to the Finger Lakes
region of NY (though I have no dates for that) in the Town of
Rose. If you have any information on William or his family,
specifically the Quackenbush lead... I would like to know.

I am seeking the names and birth dates of the children of LEAMING HAWKINS
BRADLEY and MARY SIMONS or Simonds. They married on 19 Sept 1830 in Litchfield,
Connecticut [Town Records in the Barbour Collection and books on Litchfield
genealogy]. He was the son of Horace and Hannah Bradley, and Horace was the son
of Capt. Aaron Bradley and his wife Loraine Abernathy Bradley. By the 1840
Census, the Leaming H. Bradley household in Washington, Litchfield County,
included two males 5 to 9 years old, one male 15 to 19 years old, one male 30 to
39 [himself, he was 32], one female under 5, and one female 20 to 29 [likely
Mary]. The family is not in the 1850 Census.
My research suggests that one of the young sons was my gg-grandfather who was
born in the 1831 to 1835 period. He came to Wisconsin in the 1850s. Everything
he reported in census records and marriage documents points to this family. I am
seeking a record -- a document, obituary or family group sheet -- to confirm
that these are my gg-grandfather's parents. Thanks in advance for any
assistance.

I am looking for sources or any information for Amos Hickok and his wife,
Anna (Foote) Barker Hickok, and for detail on that part of Washington known as
Footeville. According to the Hickok Genealogy by Charles Nelson Hickok, Amos
Hickok was born February, 1779 and lived at Washington, Connecticut, "in that
part that was known as Footeville", before moving to Charlotte, Vermont. Amos
Hickok is asserted to be the son of Doctor Samuel Hicock, born at Woodbury, 17
September 1748/49, and Zelpha/Zilpha Scofield, and that Samuel Hicock at some
point lived in Cooperstown, New York, (Research on my part makes me believe that
Zelpha/Zilpha was not the mother of Amos Hickok and that if Samuel Hickok was
the name of Amos Hickok's father, the Samuel Hickock in Cooperstown wasn't his
father.) The 1800 U.S. Census has an Amos Hickcox in Washington, CT, and the
1810 U.S. Census has an Amos Hickkok in Charlotte, Vermont. The Hickok family
Bible has his son, Nathaniel Hickok, being born in Washington, CT in 1800. The
Hickok Genealogy has Amos Hickok marrying Anna (Foote) Barker, born 8 April
1774, widow of William Barker. According to the Foote Family by Abram W. Foote,
Anna Foote was the daughter of Isaac Foote, and she was born 8 April 1774, first
marrying William Barker, and after his death at Champlain, New York, at 24 years
of age, marrying Amos Hickok, born 8 February 1774, son of Dr. Samuel Hickok, of
Cooperstown, New York. Isaac Foote is shown in the Foote Family as having lived
in Washington and marrying Anna Hurlbu(r)t of Washington. Both Isaac and Anna
Foote, and Amos Hickok, died in Charlotte, Vermont.

Mallory /Mallery
My father's mother was Mabel Mary Hayden. Her father was Augustus Barnabas
Hayden. His father George Walter Hayden of Westbrook married Nancy Mallory in
Derby in 1853. Nancy was born in New Preston in 1834. Her father was Ithamar
Mallory and mother Sarah M. Blake, daughter of Joseph Blake and Louisa Osborn
Blake both buried in the New Preston cemetery. I got pictures of their
headstones last August when I was in New Preston and Washington doing genealogy
research. Unfortunately, the Gunn Library was closed that day.
I have been researching everyone named Mallory /Mallery that lived in
Washington, New Preston, New Milford, Kent, and the surrounding area; trying to
figure out who Ithamar's father is, and how he is related to Deacon Benjamin
Mallory Jr. of Kent / New Preston; the father of the Litchfield Mallorys. Most
of the other Mallorys I find evidence of in the New Preston area were probably
Benjamin's sons; Caleb, Ithamar, Isaac, and Elijah. I believe one of these will
prove to be Ithamar's grandfather or father. Other Mallorys that show up in the
early Washington censuses are Truman, Jonathan, and Luther. Truman is buried
with his wife Amy in New Preston, along with their son Henry and wife Jane Ford
of New Milford. Also Henry & Jane's son Truman N. who died of wounds he received
in the Civil War at Cold Harbor, VA in 1864.
Once I find a few more connections I should have a very good idea of who all
the Mallorys were and how they are related. I probably know a bit more than most
folks at this point, but I plan to know a lot more in the future. I am willing
and anxious to share what I have. I am especially excited to be contacted by
anyone else researching Litchfield county Mallorys, as they are undoubtedly a
distant cousin that I would most like to meet! Thanks.

I am a Chatfield from
Washington Connecticut and am looking for information on my family that lived in
Washington Depot CT back in the 1920's through the 1950's. I was told that my
grandfather Thurber R. Chatfield born April 22nd 1875 in Killingworth CT
migrated to that area and lived on Bee Brook Road where he owned and operated a
lumber company called Chatfield Lumber. He came to that area with his large
family of nine children and that he also owned a grocery store and gas station
with an apartment that he rented out over the store. After his wife died in 1927
he remarried a young 24-year-old Florence Tibbetts my grandmother. I know very
little about her. I only know that she came from Fall River Massachusetts and
that her birth date may have been August 1899. Florence and Thurber had two boys
and a girl. I hope you can help point me in the right direction. I was told that
the Chatfield’s home had burned down. If so, how did the fire start and when did
it burn? I was told that my father's sister Hope Chatfield died June 1957 and
was buried on the family’s property and that there was a headstone. If this is
true where is she now that the land in a public park? Where Chatfield Lumber sat
I believe that in the general area the new Washington Firehouse sits. Anyone
having information that knows anything of this family you can contact me. Thank
you.

I am seeking information concerning my great
grandfather, John Miramble who, I believe, was originally from
either Washington or Roxbury. He married my great
grandmother - Anna Wagner (maiden name) - they divorced after
having two children (Ruth, my grandmother and Virginia, my great

their lives in Roxbury. Both are burried in the old cemetary in
Roxbury. I remember hearing stories that John Miramble was from a
old family in the Washington/Roxbury area, but little was
known/said about him - likely due to the divorce. Additional
helpful information includes the fact that Virginia Allen married
Roland Johnson of Roxbury and they lived on a farm in that town.
Both have passed on. They had a couple of children - Gertrude and
Shirley, and I believe that Gertrude married a fellow named Deck,
and that they and their children are still living in that area.

Ella/Ellen was 2nd wife of her father Eliakim Starr

being born in Warren, CT, but having gone through their VS office

in New Preston. her birth date was 9Oct1881. Eliakims first wife
is listed as Sophia Carey, but have nothing to confirm this. they
had 3 children, Francis, Sarah, and George Israel. I've located
Sarah Frances Benedict in Madison, married to Leslie Carleton
Graves. .. if this is indeed the same Sarah Frances, listed
alternately as from Warren and New Preston. about 1861. Alice had
a known sister Florence, and one elderly aunt remembers the name
of a sister as Mary. Alice also had a brother Walter. I find no
records for any of them in Warren. Ella/Ellen did file divorce
proceedings against Eliakim, intolerance and physical abuse, but
did not finalize the proceedings. I hope I have not confused anyone too very much.....this
'nest' is driving me around in many circles! Would anyone have a
listing of VS in the New Preston section of Washington? Is there
a New Preston VS office or would it be Washington? How would I
contact them, phone, mail, email, etc. I just don't know how to

Charles Porter Goodyear b. 1842
and Emma Francis Flint b. 1854 were married in 1871, I believe in
Washington, CT. Goodyear's parents were John Goodyear (1790-1865)
and Sally Bowers (d.1861). Both died in Washington, CT. Flint's
father was Benjamin Flint (b. c 1814) of Washington. I am seeking
info on these families. Thank you for your help.

Looking for information on my
great-grandmother, Flora E. FARVOR who, according to my
grandmother's birth certificate, states that she was born in
Washington, CT, on Sept. 5, 1846. She married my
great-grandfather, Darius Crosby Baxter on December 15, 1865 in
North Salem, New York. They had the following children, probably
born in Ridgefield, CT:
Charles Herbert Baxter born Jan.
5, 1887 who married Mary E. Nally and second Maria C. (?).
Crosby Darius Baxter
Frank Page Baxter born Feb. 2, 1876
Flora Inez Baxter who married Willis Powers
Maude Agnes Baxter born July 8, 1880 who married Burton Clarke
James Crosby Baxter born March 5, 1878 who married Sara Taylor
Martha Alice Baxter born Dec. 4, 1882 (my grandmother) who
married Harry Griffin Scofield
I wrote to Gunn Memorial Library
and Museum back in December of 1998 and they couldn't find any
record of a Flora E. FARVOR born on that date. They did, however,
find a Florence Farrand born the same date! Also, there was a
Robert FARVOR who served during the Civil War from Ridgefield.
Age-wise he would fit with him being a brother of Flora. I sent
for his records, but unfortunately he deserted! I would
appreciate any help.....thank you.

In the 1850 CT census in the town
of Washington, Litchfield Cty, Conn., there is listed this
family: Elisha Whitmore 76 yrs, his wife Sybil and an Emily
Weeks, 4 years old. Does anyone know this family and who the
parents are of Emily Weeks? I have a Samuel Weeks and Emily
Shoals m. in Canterbury CT in 1841. Do not know what happened to
them. Also, Emily Shoals' mother was Mary (Polly)
Whittemore.....parents unknown. Wonder if Emily b. 1846 was their
daughter. Thank you for any help at all.
