December 1732, Connecticut
December 3, 1732- Eliakim Stow marries Lydia Miller (daughter of Benjamin Miller) in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut.
Benjamin Miller was the son of Thomas Miller, who came from Birmingham, England, and was one of the first settlers of Matabeset, now Middletown, Connecticut. Benjamin Miller was the first settler in Cochinby, now Middlefield, Connecticut; he was called "Governor" from some old Indian custom.
Eliakim Stow owned the land from a point east of what is now known as Lee's Mill, west to the top of the mountain. He had a sawmill, and later a mill for carding wool.
Eliakim Stow and Lydia (Miller) Stow lived in Middlefield, where he built a house on a hill above the brook Besek, near the present Baileyville. When he selected the site for the house it was on such a steep hillside that his father-in-law, Benjamin Miller, refused to come to the raising, there being a beautiful level building spot higher up the hill and further south, which Benjamin Miller preferred, but Eliakim Stow would not occupy.

November 1732, Connecticut
November 10, 1732- My eighth great granduncle, Abraham Doolittle, dies at the age of 82 in Wallingford, New Haven, Connecticut.
Abraham Doolittle was born in February, 1650, in New Haven, Connecticut. He was baptized by Reverend John Davenport, under whose strict puritan teachings he was reared. He attended the grammar school in his native town and received the careful religious and secular training prescribed for the Puritan youth of that time. His family moved to Wallingford before his twentieth birthday, where they built a log cabin in a forest glen. At that time, Wallingford was a wild place where wolves and Indians were common. At that time there was not a fence, road, church, school or store nearer than New Haven.
At town meeting May 27, 1672, Abraham was elected constable, a position then of much importance.
President Noah Porter of Yale, in writing of those colonial times,says: "The constable was an officer of superior dignity." He was to the inhabitants "the right arm of the King himself; a functionary treated with reverent awe and obeyed with implicit deference. Whoever resisted the power resisted the ordinance of God."
He took an active interest in Wallingford's affairs and is spoke of as " a worthy son of a worthy sire."
Abraham was thrice married, and fathered many children.
The following order of the General Court appears under date of October, 1710: "upon consideration of the great affliction and trouble of Abraham Dowlittell of Wallingford in the weakness and infirmity of his children: This assembly do relive and exempt him the said Dowlittell, from paying any county rates for
the future."
November 23, 1732- Martha Hull is born to Miles Hull & Mary Tuttle in Farmington, New Haven, Connecticut.

Descendants of Thomas Seamans & Susannah Salisbury
From Miss Elizabeth M. Seamans, November 11, 1905, when she was visiting Factoryville, Pennsylvania
"I wonder if you have heard of the Legend, of the ancestry, of our Seamans. I found it among my relatives, who came here in 1817 from Conn.
King James VI, of Scotland, became James 1, of England, the family name being Stuart and were ardent Catholics, but one renowneced the faith and was banished to Virginia, but was allowed to take money, treasures and silver, the king gave him a grant of land in the new country, in part of which Charleston now stands, the man had a wife and three sons, he died and in the course of time the mother again married, and after her death, her husband became guardian of the three boys, he married again and had a family, the mother of which was anxious to get rid of the Stuart boys, the stepfather took them to the sea and bribed a Captain to take them to the Plymouth Rock Country under the name of Seamans, and get them a home and they would be provided for, the oldest boy knew why they had been sent away and when he had became of age he told his brothers of their property in Virginia and he was going to claim it, he went in a vessel that was never heard from and that was supposed to have sunk, two years later the second boy made the attempt, but the vessel was wrecked and only two were saved to tell the sad tale of disaster, the third boy decided that as both of his brothers had lost their lives in the attempt to claim their property, he would remain in the Plymouth Rock Country and retain the name of Seamans.
Swansea Mass is only a little way from Plymouth Rock, now do you suppose that there is a shadow of truth in this tradition?
Sincerely Elizabeth"

1730-1733 - Liber Q, Page 426.
Mattawoman Creek was named for the Mattawoman Indians who had a fort and town in this locality.They were one of many sub-tribes of the Piscataway-Conoy culture that had been predominant in what is now Southern Maryland. Hunters and fishermen for the most part, the Mattawomans and their fellow Piscataways had a similar culture to other groups in the region—the Delawares, Nanticokes and Powhatans, for instance—and they spoke a dialect of the widespread Algonquian language. Like their neighbors, they also had frequent run-ins with tribes from the north, specifically the Susquehannocks, Iroquois and Senecas. And in the late 17th-century, it was one of these conflicts that brought the Mattawomans' demise—helped along, no doubt, by the insults of the European invasion, namely smallpox.
In 1670, Governor Charles Calvert presented to the Mattawoman king, Maquata, a medal with the likeness of his father, Cecilius, second Lord Baltimore, on one side and a map of Maryland on the other.
