On Quarry Hill Road in Haddam Neck is the home of John Brainerd, built in 1825. According to The Genealogy of the Brainerd Family in the United States (1857), by David Dudley Field:
John Brainerd married first Eliza Day, daughter of Daniel Day, of Westchester, in Colchester, November 1, 1826, who died January 5, 1844, in her fortieth year; and after her death, Delina Dickinson, daughter of Abner Dickinson, of Eastbury, in Glastenbury (sic), February 14, 1845.
Delina Brainerd lived in the house until her death in 1900.

I now live in this home (Jan. 2010 to present). The street is now known as Parsonage Road, Higganum CT. I would love to learn more about the history of my new home.
