what were the daily and social living conditions in the colony of connecticut in 1636 til 1650ish?

Answer 1

It was the frontier wilderness. People lived by agriculture near rivers and streams. One of ancestors was a founder of Hartford, another of New Haven. They usually had a town lot for a house, a plot outside town for farming, and common land for pasture. Each town had a church or two. The men trained as a militia for trouble with Indians or the French. The population swelled from new immigrants in these years. My ancestor moved from Cambridge to Hartford to Longmeadow and back to Hartford in his life time to take advantage of new opportunities or to follow religious leaders.
