The History of Waterbury, Connecticut

My direct-line ancestors did not live in Waterbury, but some of their offspring did. For genealogical info, look for Bronson (p. 137), Hopkins (p. 151), and Judd (p. 155). You'll find many more references to these names using the Search. Don't let cousin Bennet scare you off!

Bronson, Henry. The History of Waterbury, Connecticut; The Original Township Embracing Present Watertown and Plymouth, and Parts of Oxford, Wolcott, Middlebury, Prospect and Naugatuck. Waterbury: Bronson Bros, 1858.

Welcome to my library!

My purpose herein is to collect and share with my family, both immediate and however greatly extended, interesting and relevant passages from old books. I expect to embed at least one book in every post. Consequently, I've adjusted the settings to present only one post at a time for smoother loading. In addition, the embedded books will not appear in the RSS feed. Because I won't be writing a lot here, just pointing to pages which are of particular interest to me, my descendants, and a million distant cousins with New England roots, the RSS feeds will be short and sometimes not very telling.

All Subjects (labels) using both given name and surname are my direct-line ancestors. In some cases, when a book tells about a particular event in my ancestor's life, I also label it by year, in anticipation of possibly creating a chronology or narrative at some future time. Subjects labelled with only a surname pertain to relatives of my direct-line ancestors.
