259 Jordan Lane, Wethersfield, CT is located here. Charles moved his house from 259 Jordan, and rebuilt it at another location in Wethersfield. Back then, when someone "moved," they actually took their house apart, and rebuilt it at a different location. The only thing remaining at 259 Jordan Lane is the land where the house used to be.
Charles and Freda have one surviving daughter, Mabel ... who is still living (1/2009).
I am Charles' great grandson, and Mabel's great nephew.
Today's date is 2/2/2015, and Mabel Hedman (Charles' daughter) is still alive and, has been living in Connecticut.
