7116 In 1634 the first white settlement in the Connecticut Valley was made in Wethersfield, called by the Indians, "Pyquag" which means "The Dancing Place" or "Place for Games." Nathaniel Foote was one of the first ten who came to Wethersfield in 1636. It was a terrible journey. There was no road, only a narrow Indian trail through the savage wilderness. They walked, driving their cattle before them and were fourteen days on the way. They were in constant danger from wild beasts and Indians and were obliged to wade through streams and swamps, but no hardships caused them to turn back.
Their reasons for going a hundred miles west of other settlements were, so they might "better maintain their minister, find larger accomodations for their cattle and welcome more of their friends from England."
When the land in the valley was distributed, Nathaniel Foote was assigned a house lot of 10 acres, on the east side of what is now Broad Street. He gradually bought more till he owned about 400 acres. 
FOOTE, Nathaniel (I4317)

7118 In 1640 land was granted to widow Judith Parker of Hampton who, it is presumed was his mother. PARKER, Thomas Jr. (I2621)
 
7119 In 1649 Obadiah Holmes and others, of that part of Rehoboth, now a part of Swansea, having embraced the Baptist faith, withdrew from the Congregational church and set up a separate meeting of their own. The attempt to break themup and the persecutions they received increased the number of Baptists. It appears that sometime about 1662, the Rev. John Myles of Swansea, Wales, driven out by the "Act of Conformity" of Charles II, had come to America with a large number of his Welch church, and in 1663, at the home John Butterworth, in Rehoboth, (now East Providence), he organized the first Baptist church in Massachusetts, the fourth organized in America. "These and subsequent proceedings were deemed such an evil by the rest of the inhabitants of the town, and of the colony generally, that the court of Plymouth was called on to interfere. Each member of this new church was fined five pounds, prohibited from worship for the space of one month, and they were advised to remove from Rehoboth to some place where they might not prejudice any existing churh. They accordingly removed to(what is now) Barrington, Rhode Island." Jonathan Bosworth early became a member of this church and was one of those who assisted in the organization of the new town of Swansea, named from the old home of the pastor and some of his flock in Wales. The fact of Jonathans joining this church was very displeasing to his parents and on 30th day 10th mo. 1680 they executed an instrument, virtually disowning him and giving all their property to his younger brother. The instrument reads, in part, " I Jonathan Bozworth with my wife Elizabeth Bozworth have given and doe give unto my son Joseph Bozworth half of my house lott..............but for his Brother Jonathan he shall have nothing to doe with anything I have except he decline from that opinion of ye Anabaptists which he now holds the 30th day of ye 10th month 1680." Jonathan, Senior must have relented because a year later he deeds him land in "the North side of the Towneship of Rehoboth." BOSWORTH, Jonathon (I1636)
 
7120 In 1659 Sarah returned to Virginia with Francis and his family. BOWMAN, Sarah (I6430)
 
7121 In 1708 James and other inhabitants of Norwalk purchased a large tract of land between that town and Danbury. The purchase was made of Catoonah the chief sachem, and other Indians, whowere the proprietors of that part of the country. At a Norwalk town session, 1709, it was ordained that is should be a distinct township by the name of Ridgefield. James was also one of the original settlers of this township. Fence-viewer in 1715, called Ensign, 1719, afterwards Captain, and 1737, Esquire. He was appointed justice of the peace for Fairfield County, CT, May 1732 and was reappointed annually until 1733. He was representative from Ridgefield, from May 1740-45 and 1748-1752. He was the first to write the genealogy of the Benedict family. In his youth he lived with his grandmother, Mary Bridgum, wife of Thomas, and she delivered to him, from her own mouth, the genealogy down to his own memory, and he reduced it to writing. His "Genealogy of the Family of the Benedicts," dated March 14, 1755 has been the foundation of all the subsequent ones. His grandson, Abner Benedict, a member of the junior class in Yale College made an exact copy of it June 23, 1768. James was the second Deacon of the church in Ridgefield, till old age and its attendants rendered him unable to serve. BENEDICT, James (I8958)
 
7122 In 1711 a Frenchman by the name of John Mallefuild was traveling through Springfield, and a severe snowstorm made it impossible for him to keep on. He stopped at Eliakim Cooley's home. He was quite ill and after ten days died, November 16, 1711. Within a month after Mallefuild's death, Eliakim Cooley, his wife, Hannah And his sister Bethia Chapin, all died. It seems quite probably that Mallefuild's illness was a contagious one. COOLEY, Eliakim (I2384)

7132 In 1912 the danciing teachers sought to ban certain dances as they were dangerous to morals.

"Dancing instructors who own their own halls and the owners of leading halls rented for society functions say with one voice: "Turkey Trot" shall not be danced tonight. And while they are about it they have put the ban on the "Texas Tommy," "Grizzly Bear" and "Bunny Hug."

Regarding the "Turkey Trot" Mrs. Larowe said, "It's like a turkey on a hot plate, constantly lifting its feet so that they won't get burned. When danced in the extreme heads are held very close together - too close together, I should say."

7147 In about 1917 Nina privately published an account of her life. She titled it, "An Account of My Life's Journey So Far: Its Adversity; Its Sunshine and Its Clouds"

The book was privately printed and undated. It was apparently published and sold to raise funds for the Oregon National Guard unit which was either preparing for or engaged in the First World War.

"Individual chapters of this document can be found in the back files of "The Oregonian" where they were originally published. The fact that they were printed there suggests that the paper has higher literary standards now than it did then. Most of the sentences in Nina Larowe's work are difficult and many of the paragraphs simply defy comprehension." 
CHURCHMAN, Nina (I16394)
 
7148 In all census records but 1940 Ordean is listed as having been born in Minnesota. In 1940 he gives his birthplace as Canada and that he has submitted his naturalization papers.
