May 2, 1731- My eighth great grandaunt, Elizabeth Doolittle, dies at the age of 79 in New Haven, Connecticut. She lies buried beside her husband in Montowese Cemetery, North Haven.
Tombstone reads: "Here lies ye Body of Mrs Elizabeth ye Wife of Mr John Brockett who died
March 1731" Elizabeth was the daughter of Abraham Doolittle & Joan Alling.
Her family moved to Wallingford about 1668, and there a few years later Elizabeth married Dr. John Brockett.

The Worland Family in America and Beyond
I began my life in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, on an island filled with forests and wild rhododendrons. I was separated from my Worland family there at an early age. Recently, I was reunited with my family and learned of my heritage. And so, this journey to know my ancestors began. The Worlands, Gideons, Newtons, Conards... they were the colonists, the settlers, the pioneers. They fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War. This is their story, and the story of a nation. -Deci Worland MacKinnon
