General Notes
- The Reverend Adam Blackman, or Blakeman, is usually given credit for leading his congregation out of England, to America and to found the town of Stratford, Connecticut. When the group of seventeen families arrived at the location chosen for their new town, they found a small clearing along the Pootatuck River where in flows into the Atlantic Ocean. They were surrounded by dense forest which contained wild animals and savage Indians. Despite the hardships the group persevered and prospered. Additional settlers joined the group and the town grew.
  The beloved Reverend was the only minister in town until near his retirement after forty years of service. Of his seven children, two sons were ministers and one daughter married a minister.
