Description

In the summer of 1876 several historical sketches were published in the SEYMOUR RECORD, which was later made up in book form, with the intention of making only a small pamphlet. From that small beginning, the following work has grown to this remarkable book. Though the book is not arranged chronologically, but is rather a collection of various articles, finding someone is made easy with the very complete index. The major part of this work has been compiled from the records of the towns of Derby and Seymour, school district and society records, old manuscripts, family records and the recollections of elderly residents. Additionally, the following sources have been used for reference or quotation: Savage's Dictionary of the Early Settlers, Dwight's Travels, Lambert's History of New Haven Colony, Trumbull's History of Connecticut, Barber's Connecticut Historical Collections, Colonial Records of Connecticut, Peters' History of Connecticut, Cothren's History of Woodbury, and Orcutt's History of Wolcott. Approximately one-third of the book consists of genealogies, which go back as far as the very first settlers of the area in the mid-1600s. Prominent surnames include French, Booth, Baldwin, Botsford, Bradley, Beach, Candee, Canfield, Chatfield, Clark, Durand, Holbrook, Wheeler, Upson, Ellis, Stoddard, Hickox, Davis, Hull, Broadwell, Holbrook, Hotchkiss, Riggs, Gillette, Johnson, Smith, Steele, Bassett, Sharpe, Tomlinson, Perry, Kinney, Lounsbury, Tucker, Hitchcock, Beecher, Wooster, Baldwin, Moulthrop. Originally published in 1879 and reprinted here in 2006, fullname subject Index, Illus., 244 pp.
