Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, the town's sectors or institutions. There are also numerous lists and military rosters of those who served, elected officials, and of individuals involved in the commercial and ecclesiastical development. The second section of the book, the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families," comprises an alphabetical listing beginning with the immigrant ancestor, and progresses through five or more generations, providing names, birth and marriage dates, and, often times, a narrative of the background and accomplishments of the individual. In addition to this alphabetically arranged register, an index is also available, which exceeds more than 12,000 entries.Following are the immigrant surnames whose genealogies are outlined: Avery, Babcock, Baldwin, Bennett, Bentley, Billings, Breed, Brown, Browning, Burch, Burrows, Chapman, Chesebrough, Clift, Coates, Cobb, Collins, Copp, Cottrell, Davis, Dean, Denison, Eells, Fanning, Fish, Frink, Gallup, Gore, Grant, Greenman, Haley, Hallam, Hancox, Hart, Hewitt, Hinckley, Hobart, Holmes, Hull, Hyde, Kellogg, Main, Mallory, Manning, Mathews, Mason, Miner, Morgan, Noyes, Page, Palmer, Park, Peabody, Pendleton, Phelps, Pollard, Pomeroy, Prentice, Randall, Rhodes, Rossiter, Russell, Searle, Sheffield, Sisson, Smith Stanton, Stewart/Steward, Swan, Thompson, Trumbull, Vincent, West, Wheeler, Wilcox, Williams, Witter, Woodbridge, and York.

Over the last 30 years, the Connecticut Office of State Archaeology and the Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service have entered into a partnership employing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to the study of the state’s archaeology and history. As a result, many historical cemeteries and places of note in Connecticut have been investigated. The authors have selected 10 geophysical surveys, which have used GPR as a non-intrusive, non-destructive exploratory tool, that have elicited positive results in the search for unmarked burials, confirmation of marked burials and to authenticate areas of known historical events. This book narrates the stories of GPR studies at 10 historical sites in Connecticut, spanning the 17th to the 20th centuries. Each chapter investigates and highlights a ‘history mystery’ and differing aspects of our research, including the ‘lost’ grave of an African-American Revolutionary War veteran, the verification of French Revolutionary War military personnel in a mass grave, the detection of a below-ground hidden 19th-century family burial tomb, the discovery of hurriedly dug, unmarked burials associated with the 1918 influenza pandemic and the detection of the unknown location of a 1941 military plane crash site, among others. Professionally, the authors have over 40 years’ experience in GPR, soil science and archaeology. They bring their collective expertise to the reader in a scientific approach with a personal, story-telling touch. Each chapter delves into the history of the sites and the nature of the geophysical search (i.e., how the equipment was used) and the interpretation of the data in regard to solving a historical problem.
