  • 10 Things Every 3Rd Grade Should Know About Connecticut History
    10 Things Every 3rd Grader Should Know About Connecticut History 1. Water influenced where people chose to settle in Connecticut. Water allows for the transportation of people and goods and is a source for food and energy. The woodland Indians of the Algonquian tribe lived along Connecticut’s coast as well as along the Connecticut River—a fertile region they called Quinnetukut, “beside the long tidal river.” The Connecticut River is the longest river in New England (406 miles) and runs southward from Canada through four states and Connecticut’s capital city, Hartford. The Connecticut River Valley is one of the most fertile areas for agricultural in the Northeast. 2. Before European colonization, Connecticut was home to a number of Native tribes. Before European colonization, it is estimated that approximately 6,000 to 10,000 Native Americans lived in the area now known as Connecticut. In southeastern New England, the major Algonquin tribes were the Pequot and Mohegan of Connecticut, the Narragansett of Rhode Island, and the Patuxet, Wampanoag, Nipmuck, Massachesset, and Penacook of the Massachusetts area. When European settlers began to expand into Connecticut, the Pequots were the prevailing tribe, controlling about half the land.

  • Biography of Nero Hawley a Slave, Solder, Patriot, Entrepreneur, Strong
    Biography of Nero Hawley By Steve Chapman of the Connecticut SAR A Slave, solder, patriot, entrepreneur, strong, intelligent, religious, these are just a few words to describe one man’s legacy. A man who worked in his master’s clay pit, learned how to make bricks that would form the foundation of his life, the community and a nation. Nero Hawley was born in 1742 here in Trumbull, which was at the time North Stratford. He was one of 25 slaves in the area and was owned by Peter Mallet of Tashua. In 1758, Peter Mallet’s Daughter Phebe married Daniel Hawley and as a wedding gift, gave Nero to them. 17-Year-Old Nero took on the sur name of Hawley and began to live at Daniel Hawley’s house, which is right up the hill here. Who would have known that this would be the start of Nero’s journey to freedom for himself and later his family. For his new master owned a sawmill and clay pit which Nero began to work and learn new skills working timber and making bricks that would build his life’s future. Nero walked on these grounds around us and the ground you stand on today. He would regularly attend church services with the Hawley’s, at the Church of Christ. One day while attending, Nero met his future wife Peg, who was the servant to Reverend James Beebe. Nero, 20 and Peg 18 married in June of 1761 with Revered Beebe presiding. Through an arrangement with Daniel Hawley, Nero would live at the Reverend Beebe house with his wife Peg.
