On one of our drives to Vermont, we stopped in Farmington, CT for a while. It is a typical old New England town, with many homes and churches dating several hundred years. It is outside of Hartford, CT.
The branches of these two families go back into the early 1600’s in New England. I have more information on these two families than any other in our family tree, thanks to excellent record keeping in the area.
