Book Description
Some of the most prominent families of the American Revolution proudly hailed from Connecticut. Committed to the pursuit of freedom, men like Major General David Wooster led troops into battle, while Samuel Huntington and others risked it all by signing the Declaration of Independence. Women might have stayed at home, but they played a vital part by producing goods for soldiers while also taking care of their property and children. In the wake of war, Sarah Pierce started the Litchfield Female Academy and taught proteges like Harriet Beecher Stowe. Family members often enlisted alongside one another. Elijah and David Humphreys were two such brothers who proudly served in the war together. From the Burrs to the Wolcotts, author Mark Allen Baker reveals what life was like for Connecticut families during the Revolutionary War.

Book Description
Born in Connecticut Colony, Samuel Eldredge and Hannah Fuller inherited the culture of their ancestors-personally affected by the Great Migration, beginning with the Mayflower; inevitable changes caused by the settling of New England; brutal encounters with Indians which resulted in the loss of immediate family members; the toll of migrating with young families to a new land, establishing towns and churches all the while enduring harsh New England winters and unsanitary conditions we cannot begin to comprehend.Samuel Eldredge first served in the militia of Connecticut Colony. His final service was in the Connecticut line, for the United States of America. He was not famous, didn't serve in a court of law, a town council or any leadership position in the church. He was a common farmer whose probate records included a canteen, gun bayonet, and cartridge box. He was my fifth great-grandfather."The Families of Samuel and Hannah (Fuller) Eldredge: Colonial Times through the Revolutionary War-Willington, Connecticut" is a collection of documented data of their ancestral families, their life in Willington, and their part in the evolution of this country.

Book Description
The Connecticut Historical Society published in 1901, the volume titled "Rolls and Lists of Connecticut Men in the Revolution, 1775-1783." As explained in its introduction, the material in that volume supplemented what had already been published in 1889 in the officially issued "Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution, 1775-1783," published by the Adjutant-General of Connecticut. This present volume, "Lists and Returns of Connecticut Men in the Revolution, 1775-1783," is intended to supplement and not duplicate what has already been published in the two volumes mentioned above. The major part of this volume, as its title might indicate, is composed of officially written lists and returns of soldiers who were serving in the Continental regiments of the "Connecticut Line," which were not extensively addressed in the previous volumes. There are also some rolls of companies in service which had not previously been printed, particularly in 1782 and 1783. Comparatively few new names of soldiers or additional records of service are printed in this volume. Its chief value will be found to consist in the addition in the case of a great majority of the soldiers, of the name of the town from which the soldier came. This will supply much sought for information, and in many cases will doubtless serve to identify the soldier.
