Hi, my name is Carolyn E. Smith
I have been conducting research in New
London County CT. since 1972. While I was
born in Ohio and have retired back here, my
heart is in New England. My love for the area
began when my late husband was in the Navy,
stationed at the U S Submarine Base, where
we resided for many years.

Capt. Allyn Williams house built in 1803 located in Gales Ferry Village.
This is the house I owned, which started my love of research, and
eventually led to the research of the other historic homes in Gales
Ferry, CT.
