I am visiting an ORS friend in Brewster, NY. Today we went to Milford, CT, to see their Memorial Bridge which has a stone for my 8th great grandparents plus a plaque listing my 7th and 9th ggrands. They were all founders or early settlers. Roger and Abigail Terrell on the stone are my 8th great grands. Roger died in 1682.

We had a wonderful lunch and then spent some time on the shores of Long Island Sound.

How cool is that! I think all my ancestors got here only about 100 yrs ago.

that is so cool, wish I knew my families early history, I do know that we came over with the early first settlers and that my ggrand married an indian and went for the Oklahoma land grab deal. What a neat picture, thanks for sharing.
