On my last trip east I stopped at the Seth
Wetmore home only to find that the front parlor was removed to the
Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford Connecticut. Here is a bit of history
related to the room.
Another Wetmore relative sent me a copy of the land grant for Seth to
build his home. This was called a Quit Claim Deed. To my best
knowledge, the land was awarded him from King George III because of the
ties Seth had with Jonathan Edwards. A copy of the deed is below.
Feel free to copy these and keep for your records.
