    Genealogical History of the Cam Family of Huntington (Now Shelton), Fairfield County, Connecticut and Their Properties

    Genealogical History of the Cam Family of Huntington (now Shelton), Fairfield County, Connecticut and their Properties Report Written by & Census Research by James Gage Deed, Town Records, Church Records and Cemetery Research by Teresa Gallagher Final Draft 6/19/2016 © 2016 Introduction This report was made possible by the extensive research done by Teresa Gallagher, Natural Resource Manager for the City of Shelton. Teresa traced the ownership of a number of properties owned by various members of the Cam family, and found vital records (birth, marriage, & death) for the family in city and church records. Her knowledge of local history, geographical landmarks, and experience with deed and survey research was invaluable in finding these old parcels of land. The research for this report was a collaborative effort. This report incorporates various ideas, inferences, and connections contributed by both researchers. The earliest documented members of the Cam family were Noah and George, likely brothers, who were both free African-Americans. Both bought property in Huntington and raised families. Given George’s African-American roots, it was a surprise to find a historic period Native American stone structure ceremonial site within the core of his homestead (i.e. small “one-man” farm). How does one resolve this apparent contradiction? There are two potential explanations: (1) The Cam family intermarried with the Native Americans and built the site themselves; (2) The Cam family had ties to Native American community and allowed them to use the property for their ceremonies. In order to address these possibilities, we needed to reconstruct the extended Cam family in Huntington.

    Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library

    Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library Compiled by Jeannie Sherman, Reference Librarian, History & Genealogy Unit, Connecticut State Library, 2016 Introduction Many people visit the Connecticut State Library to research their family history. We hold one of the best genealogy collections in Connecticut including our indexes to pre-1850 vital records, cemetery inscriptions, church & family bible records, marriage & death notices, and probate estate papers. Though these indexes are state-wide by surname, we also hold records for each town. As any person who attempts to do genealogy research in Connecticut discovers, knowing what town a family lived in is very important. Connecticut currently has one hundred and sixty-nine towns each with their own vital, land, and probate district chronology. As towns in Connecticut were created, most were set off from a parent town. County boundaries also changed throughout Connecticut's history, so knowing a parent town or knowing in which county a town was located over time can help researchers search for court and other records. The purpose of these Town Guides is to have in one place basic information about each town. This includes the year it was established, the parent town, historical county information, vital and church record information, a probate district chronology, and a list of cemeteries that were inventoried in the Hale Collection. For town vital records and church records, both the Connecticut State Library (CSL) microfilm number and the Latter-Day Saint (LDS) microfilm number are given where applicable. Researchers are encouraged to search by film number within the LDS catalog as many vital records can be found online.

    · ',. ._'. United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS Washington. D.C. 20240 IN REPLY REFER TO- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Release May 24,1999 Contact: Rex Hackler (202) 208-6087 Reconsideraliof) of the Final Determination and Order Directina Consideration of GoJdfm Hill Paueussett Petition Under All Seven Mandatory Criteria Decision The Deputy Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, Michael J. Anderson, on Monday will issue a new decision (technically described as a "reconsidered final detennination," even though it is not a final detennination) on the petition of the Golden Hill Paugussett for acknowledgment as an Indian tribe. The reconsideraticn decision concludes that the earlier decision ofAssistant Secretary Deer in 1996 rejecting the petition needs to be reconsidered. The earlier decision was reached under what is called an "expedited review process" called for in the regulations, which is a procedural way of reaching a quicker decision on a petition when it is clear (after an initial investigation) that petition does not meet one of three specified criteria. (Overall, a petition must meet seven criteria in order to be granted; but only three can be examined under the expedited review.) Anderson's decision also cites the fact that new historical information that could affect the petition had been identified during this reconsideration, and warranted full evaluation. The effect of Anderson's decision is that the Golden Hill petition will now be evaluated under all seven criteria. The d.ecision does not reach the merits of whether the petitioner is an Indian tribe or even whether its members are descendants of the Golden Hill Paugussett which once inhabited the area around Stratl1eld (modern Bridgeport), Connecticut.
