Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Births, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths, From the Records of the Town and Churches in Mansfield, Connecticut, 1703-1850
Miss Ellen D. Larned's valuable History of Windham County, tells us that Mansfield was included in a tract of land left by joshua, third son of a Mohegan chief, to Capt. John Mason and fifteen other gentlemen from Norwich. After the tract was surveyed, and divided into lots, three sites were selected for villages. The Hither Place, now Old Windham village, the Ponde Place, now Mansfield Cen tre, and the valley of the Willimantic, near the site of the present Willimantic Borough.
