There are a couple places where many of our families meet and stay for more than a generation. New London County Connecticut is one of these places. More specifically the towns of New London, Norwich and Lebanon. Dates are approximate times when person lived in the named town
New London - settled 1646, named 1658 is located at the mouth of the Thames River on Long Island Sound and has an excellent harbor.
"The Indian name of New London," says Trumbull, "was Nameaug, alias Towawog." The first was undoubtedly the prevalent name: it was used, with many variations in the spelling, to designate both the site of the town and the natives found upon it. The Indian names are all descriptive, and this is supposed to mean a fishing place, being compounded of Namas, fish, and eag, aug, eak, terminations which signify land.
The other name, Tawaw-wog, is not often found on record: it occurs however, as an alias, in several deeds, about the date of 1654. It is probable that this also has a reference to fish; and may be derived from Tataug or Tatau-og, black-fish, for which the neighboring waters are still renowned.
William Janes
Born: 1692 Northampton
Died: after July 1752, Brimfield, MA
Buried: probably in Brimfield Cemetery, many of his descendants are buried there.
Married: Abigail Loomis, June 5, 1712 in Brimfield, MA
William Janes was the prominent son and leading member of the family of Abel Janes. He raised up a large and honored family of sons and daughters. He was the favorite son of the family, and was at home with father and mother till some time after the death of his father, Abel (1718), and in time moved with all, or nearly all his family, from his native place, Lebanon, Conn., to land he purchased for himself and sons in Brimfield, Mass. From records of the town of Brimfield, its settlement was commenced in 1717, and William Janes, grandson of the first William, the emigrant, was among the first, or nearly so, in purchasing and preparing for the future abode in his family. He might have removed there with his young family as soon as a part of his five hundred acre purchase was cleared and partially improved, and convenient buildings erected for their occupancy. The dates are not at hand to determine the point. But his oldest son was not born till 1713, and his youngest son was born in 1734. Their births are all recorded in Lebanon, and his mother, Mary, died in Lebanon 1736. The distance being about forty miles from Lebanon to Brimfield, no doubt a part of the family remained till after the death of their grandmother, Mary, and perhaps all of them spent their winters there till Brimfield could be made to seem to them a real home. His oldest, Jonathan, married Irene Bradford, granddaughter of Governor Bradford.
