John's son, Chester Clark moved at age 12 with his mother, Jerusha, and step-father Abel Lincoln to Marcellus, New York in 1801 to settle on the twelve acres Joseph Coy received for serving in the Revolutionary War. Supposedly Chester never knew his father. The descendants of Chester Clark are stumped as to who John Clark was, his birth, his parents etc.

FEELEY/ BARLOW
April 3,2000 grappa2@erols.com Mary Warner
Thomas FEELEY(FEELY) and Maria BARLOW, both from Co. Roscommon in Ireland appear as parents in Pomfret, CT birth records from 1864-1872. 6 children were born John, Catherine, Maria, unnamed female, and 2 others. I would like to know who John, born April 2, 1864, married. The marriage date would be circa 1882. The bride's vitals, parent's names and children's names would be great. I believe my grandmother Annie FEELEY to be the oldest of 10 children. The occupation of Thomas was listed as laborer and then farmer. If so. did he rent or own the land? Where was the farm located? Did son John also farm the land. John's daughter Annie moved to River Point,(Warwick, RI), along with her living brother and sisters. Could the railroad or mill work have been the reason? Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

In the Sabin Cemetery there is a Richard Kenyon buried in the John Ash and Catherine Annie Kenyon family plot. He was born in 1866 and died in 1906. Does the Pomfret Town clerk have records to show who his parents were and where he was born? I suspect his parents were Martha Kenyon (who is in the same cemetery plot and is the mother of Catherine) and her husband John. The name Richard probably came from Catherine's maternal grandfather, Richard. Thank you.

OVERLOCK
02 July 2000, markme59@mindspring.com, Mark Overlock
Seeking more information on Dr. Seldom Burdon OVERLOCK. His middle name of BURDON may have been his mother's maiden name. He was chief of staff for Day-Kimball Hospital, Putnam, Windham Co., Connecticut. The early years of the hospital's history is best defined by the then Chief of Staff Dr. Seldom Burdon OVERLOCK. Doctor OVERLOCK was an imposing (tall and in later years somewhat heavy set). His practice spanned all aspect of medicine and surgery. He was born in Maine on 13 November 1859 and was trained at Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City (graduated in 1889). He practiced for 5 years in Steuben Maine before coming to Pomfret and Putnam in 1894 (the year the hospital was being built). Also during his career Dr. OVERLOCK was President of the Connecticut State Medical Society during 1908 and 1909. Dr. OVERLOCK died at home 08 October 1934 at age 74 after a long illness. His home was located on the corner of Routes 169 & 44 in Pomfret, CT. The house burned down. And all that remained was the horse barn, which is now the home of "The Vanilla Bean Cafe". I'm trying to find out who his parents were. And also if he was married and to whom. And if he had any children. Any information will be helpful. Also Dr. OVERLOCK was known to keep an extensive scrapbook on the goings on of his life and the Day-Kimball Hospital. I'm also in search of the person holding that scrapbook if it still exists. So far it seems all OVERLOCK families can be traced back to one OVERLOCK family that came to Maine from Germany.

COLE
August 2, 2000 maranco@home.com Randy Cole
I am at the proverbial brick wall and am hopeful some of the mysteries can be unravelled in Windham County, CT. My g-g-g-g-grandfather's name was Philip Cole. He and wife Mary (maiden name unknown) lived in Berkshire County, MA from at least 1775 until they moved to Rutland County, VT in 1793. They had seven children all born in either Windsor or Williamstown. Their names were Lucy, Philenda, Mary, Anna, Olive, Philip, and my g-g-g-grandfather, Ezra. All of the children were born between 1776 and 1790. I have been unable to uncover any info on Philip for the time period before 1775, including where he was married. Ezra died in 1862 in Marion, Waushara County, WI. He is buried in Marion Cemetery along with his wife Venlora Leach-Stratton. Adjacent to their graves is the grave of Byron Cole. Byron was born in 1831 in Cattaraugus Co., NY to Daniel Mansfield Cole and Polly Bigelow who, prior to living in Cattaraugus lived in Windham County, VT. I am certain Byron is related to Ezra and I am hopeful if I can determine this connection, a number of other doors will open that will give me info on Philip. Since Philip's oldest child was born in 1776, I am making the assumption Philip was born between 1745 and 1755. (He did serve under the command of Captain Nathan Watkins in the Revolutionary War). I have been able to find only two Philip Cole's that were born anywhere in the U.S. during this time period. One was born in 1744 to Israel Cole and Remember Burgess, and the other was born in 1745 to Samuel Cole and his wife, Patience. The latter was born in Pomfret, Windham, CT. Since Windham is the common denominator, am I reaching here in assuming there may be a connection? Is there a Pomfret, Windham, VT too? Can anyone shed some light in to my very dark corner?

WEST
14 May 2001 idhwest@aol.com Dennis J. West
Request information on a JOHN (J) WEST. The following information is provided. I have been researching my family roots for some time. I have traced the family males back through Holyoke, MA to Woodstock, CT and to England. However, to double check and fill in the blanks I discovered in the 1840 CT census a John West residing in Pomfret, CT. Subsequently, the 1860 CT census reflects a John West in Woodstock, CT. but none for Pomfret, CT. I believe both of these JOHN WEST are the same. I have not located the arrival of JOHN WEST from England to the USA but this discovery could help. I believe JOHN WEST was born between 1812-1823 and his listed occuptions were always farming/gardnering. Prior to and between 1856 and 1860 he must have moved from Pomfret and married Mary Moore (from Ireland) somewhere in or around New York, because their first child Ellen F. West was born there in Feb 1856. I assume they returned to CT but to Woodstock, CT where they stayed until the 1870's. They had a large family and moved to Holyoke, MA as the 1880 MA census shows them there. Their second child, also a girl, Elizabeth F. West was born in Woodstock, CT on 29 March 1857 but didn't go with the family to Holyoke, MA. I hope this information helps.

DURKEE/SMALLEY
December 20, 2001 from omm@fmtc.com Nadene Goldfoot.
I recently found out that my family tree has Timothy Durkee b. May 1, 1737 and married May 3, 1758 in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut. He had married Lucy Anna Smalley, daughter of Joseph Smalley and Jemima Ordway. He was a Lieutenant in the 1776 Revolution. Is there any more history of the Smalleys in Pomfret? Do you have any more information on the Durkee family? I found the information about the Durkees on the Durkee Home page. They also have the Society of Genealogy of Durkee, Inc.

My great grandfather, Karl L. Lindgren, is buried in Sabin Cemetery and his son, Mauritz W. Lindgren in buried at Veterans Graves. Karl L. Lindgren died in a saw mill accident in 1906. I wonder if there are any newspaper articles regarding his death? I am also trying to find where my great grandmother, Anna Lindgren, was buried; and her mother, _____ Peterson, who died in a kitchen fire might be buried? Karl and Anna had 8 children; Anne Viola and George Herbert stayed in Pomfret and never married. Anne worked at the Pomfret Rectory School. Another son, Ole, might have stayed in the Pomfret area also. I am searching for any information on them also.
