The Beecher family history is representative of the history of Americans. We have famous people, we have infamous people, and many who have helped shape America by raising their families and contributing to their communities.
The family migrated to Milford, Connecticut area and then to New Milford, Connecticut. In the 1700s, they migrated to Hinesburgh, Vermont with several other families. Early in 1800s, the family next moved to Beaver Dams, New York. Feel free to contact me ([email protected]) for detailed information or if you have family connections.
Genealogy is a journey ........ backward!
Truman Beecher, of Beaver Dams, NY left us 25 years of his diaries from 1862 - 1887. In them, he tells of life in Beaver Dams, as well as his interaction with family members and many, many other people from Watkins, Havana, Corning, Millport area of central New York.
