Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from By Gone Days in Ponsett-Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut: A Story At the urgent request of a friend, the writer has undertaken to give a description of Ponsett as it was before its consolidation with Little City District. The object is to furnish for the former inhabitants of this locality, a brief account of the place and people with whom they once associated, of the rugged rocks and hills, the pleasant valleys, the gently flowing streams and the dear old roads over which as boys they trudged to school, or as young men walked home from evening meeting at the School House with best girl leaning on the arm, Happy days - how well we remember them! Before starting on our trip let us inquire into a little of our former history. Ponsett is the south west portion of the town of Haddam. The Indians called all the Southwestern part of the town of Haddam, Cockaponsit; leaving off the two first syllables of which, we have the remnant of a name in which we take pride. We have but little patience with the phrase West Haddam, inasmuch as the good old town of Haddam had appendages enough without being unnecessarily burdened with another. We first find our name on the town records about 1690, in which is mentioned "Land belonging to Nathaniel Spencer in Cockaponsit in Haddam, being a house-lot containing eight acres more or less," and again, "Land belonging to John Baly in "Cockaponsit," and "Land belonging to Ephm. Baly at Cockaponsit." "It is probable that a settlement was made here very soon after the first settlement at Haddam in 1662.
