Book Description
Ecclesiastical and Other Sketches of Southington, Conn. By Rev. Heman R. Timlow Introduction 1. The reader will find this volume to be a mass of materials collected and printed for preservation, rather than a thoroughly digested history. I have felt myself to be a pioneer in the work. During the period of one hundred and eighty years, since the settlement of the town, no attempt has before been made to gather these materials. The Church Catalogue is all that has ever been published. It will be seen that very much must be incorporated in such a work as mine, that might have been omitted if preserved in some other form. But nothing like completeness could be secured unless I printed such matter, which oftentimes throws light on passing events. Such are some of the traditional and personal notices. And it is for the interest if not instruction of the present generation that such matter be placed before them. Some future historian will "draw" from these "Sketches" and prepare a more elaborate work. As a considerable portion of the volume was first put into the form of discourses, that style of writing has been retained. 2. It is only just to myself to state, that until within three years I knew nothing of the town, except its name; and the disadvantages arising from a recent and brief residence have appeared at every step. This entire work has really been performed within two years. Nor have I permitted this line of inquiry and study to interfere with my regular pulpit duties. Each week I have conscientiously prepared and preached sermons as if no other work was on hand. Adhering to a system, and economizing time, have done what otherwise would have been impossible. 3. My authorities have been the records of the Congregational church and Society, that during the earlier periods are only partial; records of the Baptist and Episcopal Churches; records of the towns of Southington (dating from 1779), Farmington, and Wallingford; Ecclesiastical records of Farmington; Colonial and Ecclesiastical records at Hartford; the records of both Hartford North Association and Consociation, and Hartford South Association and Consociation; diaries, memoranda, and various family papers of different periods; traditions in the oldest families of the town; old Bibles with records and marginal memoranda; manuscripts in the families of descendants of the earlier pastors; the "daily entries" of Rev. William Robinson, beginning with his ministry and continuing through his life; diary of the late Stephen Walkley, 1806-60; old documents placed in my hands by the late Joel Root, Jr.; Memoir of Rev. William Robinson, by his son; President Porter's Address, 1840; the local histories of various towns in New England; biographics, &c., &c.

This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ecclesiastical and Other Sketches of Southington, Conn Very much of what I have gathered is certainly new matter to the present generation. Fully three-fourths of the ecclesiastical history is for the first time brought to light. The only merit I claim is in the thoroughness and diligence with which I have examined old papers. When I began it was not supposed there was in existence material enough for a common sized pamphlet. As to the ministries of Mr. Curtiss and Mr. Chapman hardly anything was known beyond dates of settlement, dismission, 8m.

Connecticut's Black Soldiers, 1775-1783
Author: David O. WhitePublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493033069
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Black soldiers of the American Revolution? Not a credible statement in light of what most Americans have read about the Revolutionary War. We have heard of Casimir Pulaski the Pole, Marquis de Lafayette the Frenchman, and Baron von Steuben the German, but not black participants. Yet, close to 5,000 blacks did fight in the war against the British, and others served as laborers, spies, and guides. The absence in our general histories of their activities in this struggle lies with the misconception that the Afro-American has contributed little or nothing towards the creation of the United States and its subsequent development, for in most studies made of the Revolutionary era, there has been little impulse to search for evidences of service by blacks, except perhaps to note the existence of slavery. Histories of Connecticut have generally treated the Revolution in a similar manner. Few of them have acknowledged the contributions of the black soldier. This is partially true because the story of Connecticut's black participant is one about the regular foot soldier in the Revolution and not about the men who led him into battle or the political leaders who guided the nation. And it is these men who most often fill the pages of our history books. As one phase of the Bicentennial observation, The American Revolution Bicentennial Commission of Connecticut has authorized scholars in a wide range of study to write a series of monographs on the broadly defined Revolutionary Era of 1763 to 1787. These monographs [appeared] yearly beginning in 1973 through 1980. Emphasis is placed upon the birth of the nation, rather than on the winning of independence on the field of battle.

Book Description
Pulling Up Roots: Book One follows a remarkable line of descent of Edmund Rootes, an educated gentleman who died penniless on September 13, 1613 in Ashford, England, leaving his young family in desperate financial circumstances. The Rootes family suffered but persevered. In 1635, Edmund’s three sons, Puritans, after enduring years of religious oppression, left England for the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Upon their arrival in America, the Rootes boys settled in Salem, then more shantytown than village. Over the next fifty years, Salem grew into a commercially important seaport—and a troubled community that would become forever infamous for its witch trials and public executions in 1692. Among those falsely accused and cruelly punished was elderly Susannah Rootes. By the end of the 17th century, the Rootes family had uprooted again, moving away from Massachusetts, first to Connecticut and then on to the wilderness of Vermont. The Rootes family story provides a unique look at the evolution of America from a fragile English outpost to an independent nation—seen from the perspective of one family compelled by circumstances and chance to continue moving on and experiencing more of the young and growing country. A family history—particularly one going back centuries—faces the difficult task of telling the stories of people who are now largely unknowable. This book begins with Edmund Rootes. Who was he really? What was he like? Kind or callous? Good-natured or sullen? Handsome or hideous? We cannot know. But we can draw inferences by learning more about what these long-gone people experienced. By examining shreds of evidence from aged records and linking them with the sweep history, the dead gradually come into focus. Christopher Eiben is a writer and historical researcher who lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
