In the July 2014 issue of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists publication, The Connecticut Nutmegger; my article about the Newberry family of colonial Connecticut will appear.

The article is titled, “The Resurrection of John Newberry – Hanged Man of Windsor.” It is about a young man from a prominent family who found himself in very hot water when he confessed to an unsavory crime. Historians took the word of one man’s diary to pronounce him hanged in December 1647. Like so many historical accounts, this one proved to be a cover job instigated by his family. In reality, he was banished back to England after the New Year in 1648. The article details the documents that prove his survival. After July the article will be available for download from my web site.

Sue Hi Stephen: So strange . . . I haven't been on Good Reads for quite some time, but I decided to check in today.

I am currently working on a revised and expanded copy of the Quiet Patriarch. and will republish the first quarter of 2022. You can contact me at goldsage@comcast.net for more information. I am wondering why you are desperate to get hold of a copy? Are you related to James Newberry?

Hi Stephen:

Did you find a copy of the Quiet Patriarch? I was able to upload the new version six months ago to Amazon. I also finished and published a new book about the Newburghs of England and their seat in Dorset. Both are up on Amazon.

If you would like to contact me go to: deNovoBurgoChronicles.com and fill out the contact form.

On my web site I post new information that I find in the form of a newsletter.

Best wishes,
D. Suzanne Simonich
