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

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."
