Eli Munson, probably taken late 1800s, about 1890. I purchased this photograph off the internet in order to keep it in the Munson Family. We also have Eli Munsons in our line. If this is a direct descendant of yours I will be happy to send a copy of the photograph. Here are the clues. On the back it says Eli Munson, brother of Malinda Munson. On the front it gives the photo studio as J.M.Harkles, Union St. College Hill, Valparaiso, Indiana. ..Coming soon our own Munson Bible Pages of 1858 |

The first appearance of Thomas Munson in America is recorded in Hartford, Connecticutt in 1637 as a member of the militia unit engaged in the Pequot Indian War. In 1639, he signed the Fundamental Agreement at ew Haven where he established his permanet home. His life and actions are well documened in the Munson Record Volume 1 and the Connecticut Colony records. All of the proceeding is taken from the Thomas Munson Foundation Pages. |
We have four wonderful women who are direct descendants of Thomas Munson. Noreen, Darlene, Dawn and Micki. There is a treasure of very old land abstracts. A treasure for us, not very valuable to anyone else. With the abstracts that cover over 200 years, Wills and Bible pages we have been able to construct quite a family history. One of the great surprises was to fin that we, all of us were cousins as well as husband, wife, daughter and cousin. All related to the Munson family and the Potter family. Both families signed the New Haven Agreement. |

Noreen above mrd. Ernest A. Hatton descended from John Potter a first settler of New Haven also. The Munson and Potter family married three times, at least, and all the above are also cousins. Therefore the children are descended from two New Haven Families. |

Ruth Miller Munson has prepared a wonderful list called " Did You Know That" . I'm going to mention a few of things on that list which is two pages. Thomas Munson landed in what is now Connecticut in 1637 as part of a party organized to found and permanently settle the town of Hartford in central Conneticut. Thomas served in a number of public offices in Ct. Colony and for his Militia service was permitted to buy land north of New Have which became the family plot. He later settled in New Haven and his house and land became the property of Yale University. His father was John; his mother Elizabeth; his grandfather was Richard; his grandmother Margery. He had four sisters and two brothers and he was a middle child. Thomas and his wife Joanna both have headstones in the Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven. Others buried there are Eli Whitney, Noah Webster and Charles Goodyear [ and many of the Ancient families of New Haven]. Thomas had three children; Elizabeth, Samuel and Hannah. The Thomas Munson Foundation Clans were devised by Myron Munso, who compiled the first two volumes of the Munson record, and were named after the great grandsons of Thomas. There are now 5 volumes of the Munson Record. In 2037 the record will be brought to date in preparation of the 400 th. anniversity Reunion. |
