In 1911, Lucy Ann Morris Carhart published the “Genealogy of the Morris Family: Descendants of Thomas Morris of Connecticut,” providing a thorough historical account of the Morris family lineage starting from Thomas Morris, a notable shipbuilder and Puritan who immigrated from England in the 17th century. The book traces the family’s settlement in New Haven, Connecticut, detailing their significant land holdings and their expansion into other parts of Connecticut and New York. Published by A.S. Barnes Co. in New York, this work not only highlights the genealogical connections of the Morris family but also delves into the broader historical context, exploring the lives and legacies of successive generations. This comprehensive record serves as a valuable resource for descendants and historians alike, offering detailed insights into the family’s evolution and its contributions to American history.

In 1895, Cyrus Henry Brown began collecting family records of the Brown family, initially with the intention of only going back to his great-grandfathers. As others became interested in the project, they decided to trace the family lineage back to Thomas Brown and his wife Mary Newhall, both born in the early 1600s in Lynn, Massachusetts. Thomas, John, and Eleazer, three of their sons, later moved to Stonington, Connecticut around 1688. When North Stonington was established in 1807, the three brothers were living in the southern part of the town. Wheeler’s “History of Stonington” contains 400 records of early descendants of the Brown family, taken from the town records of Stonington. However, many others remain unidentified, as they are not recorded in the Stonington town records. For around a century, the descendants of the three brothers lived in Stonington before eventually migrating to other towns in Connecticut and New York State, which was then mostly undeveloped. He would eventually write this second volume of his Brown Genealogy adding to and correcting the previous edition. This book is free to search, read, and/or download.
