In the wake of war, Sarah Pierce started the Litchfield Female Academy and taught proteges like Harriet Beecher Stowe. Family members often enlisted alongside one another. Elijah and David Humphreys were two such brothers who proudly served in the war together. From the Burrs to the Wolcotts, author Mark Allen Baker reveals what life was like for Connecticut families during the Revolutionary War.

Born in Connecticut Colony, Samuel Eldredge and Hannah Fuller inherited the culture of their ancestors-personally affected by the Great Migration, beginning with the Mayflower; inevitable changes caused by the settling of New England; brutal encounters with Indians which resulted in the loss of immediate family members; the toll of migrating with young families to a new land, establishing towns and churches all the while enduring harsh New England winters and unsanitary conditions we cannot begin to comprehend.Samuel Eldredge first served in the militia of Connecticut Colony. His final service was in the Connecticut line, for the United States of America. He was not famous, didn't serve in a court of law, a town council or any leadership position in the church. He was a common farmer whose probate records included a canteen, gun bayonet, and cartridge box. He was my fifth great-grandfather."The Families of Samuel and Hannah (Fuller) Eldredge: Colonial Times through the Revolutionary War-Willington, Connecticut" is a collection of documented data of their ancestral families, their life in Willington, and their part in the evolution of this country.
