I'm sorry but I have no help on any New London data after the late 1700s;
however, have you tried the US census for years 1920, 1910, 1900 for CT and
for IN? All the US census to 1920 (except 1890 which was destroyed by fire)
are open to the public. They can be researched at NARA (Nat'l Archives)
branches across the country, ordered in for loan at FHCs across the country
and available at many goodsize public and private libaries and
genealogy/history societies. The US censuses since 1840 are chock full of
valuable genealogy data.

Also you might try the USGenWeb site for Indiana:

There is a Portland in Jay Co., IN:

and a Portland Mills in Putnam Co., IN:

>Occupation of father: Private US Army, Fort Trumbell.

The NARA US military records. You can send off for Russell SNYDER's
military records:

http://www.nara.gov/

and their special genealogy page with sections on military records and
immigration and naturalization records:
