This was my maternal great grandfather, born in the now defunct town of Colebrook River Village Connecticut in the 1850s. The town was flooded in the 1950s to create a resevoir.
I need information on how to obtain his birth records, as the villiage no longer exists. He was a veteran of the Spanish American War, but his military records were destroyed when the depository had a large fire.
I was told by my grandmother, his daughter, that he was a travelling painter, and even helped paint the Empire State Building in NYC! He died about 1933 in Winchester, Connecticut.
