In August, my wife and I spent a couple weeks in Connecticut and took some time one Saturday to go to Norwich where many of my ancestors lived upon immigrating to the United States. Among my ancestors who lived in Norwich are the following family names: Hutchins (also Huchens and Huchins), Elderken, Knight, Bauckus, Waterman, Leffingwell, Rogers and Lee. In the cemetary just outside of Norwich (located in Norwichtown), we found gravestones for almost all of these ancestors with the exception of the Knights (anyone know where they might be?). I took photos of dozens of the graves, so if anyone is looking for more info on these names in Norwich, feel free to get in touch.
It was interesting to discover that the Arnold family (as in Benedict Arnold) was also buried in the Norwichtown cemetary, but when their son betrayed the young United States during the Revolutionary War, locals exhumed his family's bodies.
Norwich the town was beautiful. It is well deserving of its nick-name, the Rose of New England. I have created a "Place Page" for Norwich and posted several pictures of the town and cemetary. You can find it by browsing Places or doing a search for Norwich in the Search bar.
