From the Barbour Collection as found at the CT State Library. <BR> BENEDICT Nathan Dunning, son Cyrus & Penelope, b Nov 26, 1797 ---+++_Footnotes_ *Easton CT* is located in the heart of Fairfield County. The town is a rural community situated among Redding, Monroe, Trumbull, Fairfield, Weston and Newtown. North Fairfield, a part of the town of Fairfield, land was purchased from the Aspetuck Indians in 1670 for thirty pounds and an amount of trucking cloth. In 1762 the Connecticut General Assembly established the parish of North Fairfield. The Legislature in 1787 combined the parishes of North Fairfield and Norfield into the town of Weston. In 1845, the former parish of North Fairfield was divided from Weston and became Easton. It is still governed by the town meeting. -- Main.SandeeToo - 01 Dec 2008
