My ancestor set sail from NY with his younger brother in March 1849 with the Quinipiac Mining and Trading Co and died in Benicia CA in Dec of the same year. This painted an excellent picture of the forces that drove them there and welcomed them after the long trip. There is a grave for my ancestor at the home cemetery in East Windsor, but it is hard to believe his Jenn Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791223007447063212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18653650.post-37613814447383221022023-07-22T08:47:36.651-04:002023-07-22T08:47:36.651-04:00I was born and raised in Waterbury.

At that time, Wolcott Street was one lane in either direction. I don't even think there was a traffic light there at the time, just a stop sign (maybe).
