Are you aware that the company A.C. Gilbert was in Hartford Conn? I believe
at one time they built trains. I may be wrong, but think they were toy
trains. During WWII, my parents worked there because it had been converted
to a munitions factory. (Ammunition) Some where on the web I read they were
also manufacturer of guns of some sort. You might try a large library if
you are near one. There is a series of books written by JACOBUS. He
compiled many, many early records of births, marriages, and deaths, then
put the famies together. I is a wonderful series, and well respected as one
of the primary sources of New England History.
The series was written in the later part of the 1800's. I have to go to our
state library because we are small tows.

By the way, my mothers family came from Woodbridge, Conn also. I know they
have a Historical Society there. If you mailed your request to the Town
Offices, Woodbridge, I know they would receive it. Then ask if they will
forward it to the Hist. Soc. There is also a LDA Family Center in
Woodbridge. Sometime s they have volunteers who help out. Because they
have all the Microfilm, etc. at that Family Center, they might look one or
two things for you.

Good luck!
