Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, the town's sectors or institutions. There are also numerous lists and military rosters of those who served, elected officials, and of individuals involved in the commercial and ecclesiastical development. The second section of the book, the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families," comprises an alphabetical listing beginning with the immigrant ancestor, and progresses through five or more generations, providing names, birth and marriage dates, and, often times, a narrative of the background and accomplishments of the individual. In addition to this alphabetically arranged register, an index is also available, which exceeds more than 12,000 entries.Following are the immigrant surnames whose genealogies are outlined: Avery, Babcock, Baldwin, Bennett, Bentley, Billings, Breed, Brown, Browning, Burch, Burrows, Chapman, Chesebrough, Clift, Coates, Cobb, Collins, Copp, Cottrell, Davis, Dean, Denison, Eells, Fanning, Fish, Frink, Gallup, Gore, Grant, Greenman, Haley, Hallam, Hancox, Hart, Hewitt, Hinckley, Hobart, Holmes, Hull, Hyde, Kellogg, Main, Mallory, Manning, Mathews, Mason, Miner, Morgan, Noyes, Page, Palmer, Park, Peabody, Pendleton, Phelps, Pollard, Pomeroy, Prentice, Randall, Rhodes, Rossiter, Russell, Searle, Sheffield, Sisson, Smith Stanton, Stewart/Steward, Swan, Thompson, Trumbull, Vincent, West, Wheeler, Wilcox, Williams, Witter, Woodbridge, and York.

Download or read book Stonington written by M. Earl Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stonington's four founding fathers first laid eyes on the bucolic shoreline inhabited by the Pequot tribe, it was impossible for them to predict that the future state of Connecticut would produce nearly four centuries of American history. What became their sleepy coastal borough flourished from a "stony town" into what is now known as Stonington. Fishermen, whalers, and sealers would lead a boom in the 1800s, shaping a lifestyle that still persists as a testament to the area's heritage. Stonington survived major wars, an economic depression, and catastrophic hurricanes to thrive as an intimate yet welcoming community that harbored major motion pictures such as Mystic Pizza, Amistad, and Hope Springs. The town became a haven for Pulitzer Prize poet James Merrill and sustained a 1990s tourism revitalization that transformed it into one of New England's most precious hidden gems. Today, delectable seafood restaurants, charming shops, an abundantly rich historical heritage, and a picturesque seaside ambience put Stonington and its history at the quintessential forefront of every excursion to southeastern Connecticut.
