Kris,
"Some of the material used in this book was taken from the
unpublished
manuscript that was compiled by Dr. Erastus E. Case. Permission to use this
material was granted by the Connecticut Historical Society for which I am Grateful.
Vital records, church records, cemetery records, newpapers obituaries and
death records from the city directories have all been added to enhance this
material and bring it up to date.
Ruth Cost Duncan"
Sounds to me like the same unpublished book she created earlier.
Title page has "Complied by Ruth Cost Duncan 2000"
and the copyright is Simsbury Free Library 2002.
Hmmmm, I think it is the same book, just somehow copyrighted by the
Library. Which I don't think can be done without them adding to her
work, und publishing it. Oh well....
I've never seen the "first one", but this is probably
the same - pages that
are spiral bound with plastic covers.
I suspect it is, because Ruth told me back in 2000 or 2001 that she
wasn't in good health, had not published her book, and wasn't going to.
Let me know if there's anything I can look up for you.
Ok, look up Seymour (Seymore) the one that married Roxanna Moore (Moon)
IF your copy says MOORE, then it is still the same 'book' as what I have.
