September 23rd, 1782 - According to "Historical and genealogical record of the descendants as far as known of Richard and Joan Borden, who settled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, May, 1638 : with historical and biographical sketches of some of their descendants", compiled by Hattie Borden Weld(which was published in 1899), my 5th Great-Grandfather, Eleazer Sweetland was born on this day in East Haddam, Connecticut, USA, . The "Connecticut, U.S., Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection)" on Ancestry, does show an Eleazer Sweetland s. Rev. Eleazer & Elizabeth, b. Sept 23, 1782. I am relying entirely on other people's research for this information. At least until I improve my research skills in this area.
September 23rd, 1907 - My 3rd Great-Grandfather, George William McKelvey, was killed accidently by an auto in Eldon, Victoria County, Ontario. He was 70 years old and living on Lots 15 & 16, Concession North Portage Road (N.P.R.) in Victoria County. This is just east of Bolsover and south of Canal Lake in what is now known as Kawartha Lakes.
