Notes for Joseph CONANT
Early settler in Stafford about 1733. Records of first wife are found abt 1735, then nothing til 1747. Then births of children with Thankful, and daughter’s marriage in 1755. Nothing afterward, so may have left the area.
Notes for Thankful Gale
Thankful’s birth is also recorded in Canterbury, CT as her father Richard recorded all of the children when he and his wife Sarah Knight moved there about 1718.

Thankfull married Joseph 17 Mar 1737 in Norwich, New London Co., CT and the marriage record is in the church records in the CT State Library in Hartford. The record reads "Gale, Geal, Gail: Thankfull, of Canterbury, m. Joseph Connant, of Stafford, Mar. 17, 1737 at Norwich, by Rev. Daniel Kirtland". This is in the records of the "Newent Congregational Church, Libson, New London Co., Connecticut, 1723-1932, page 53". [1084]
