SUMMARY:CSG - Annual Meeting & Program
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut Society of Genealogists\nAnnual Meeting & Program\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026\n11:00 AM – 2:30 PM \nIn person only: Hilton Garden Inn Wallingford \n1181 Barnes Road\, Wallingford\, CT 06492 \nRegistration: https://csginc.org/csg-annual-meeting/ \n“Geology\, Decrees & Deposits: Connecticut Unrest Beyond the Thames” with James King \nIn 1775 Elijah Backus\, Norwich Iron Works\, cast anchors and cannon for the newly formed Connecticut Navy. From its founding Parliament decreed that the refining\, smelting or forming of metallic substances was forbidden. The Iron to cast cannon and anchors was discovered in Salisbury Connecticut. Join us as Jim King discusses the iron deposits in Connecticut and its journey to Norwich to be forged into the tools of revolution. \nBio:\nJames King received his training in archaeology and geology at the University of Texas at Austin in 1982. After working as a field archaeologist in central Texas and Arkansas\, he turned his interest in geology to mineralogy\, then mining\, finally settling on the study of historic mines and mining techniques. His interest in Colonial mines of Connecticut began in 1984 as the archaeological monitor of The Wallingford Copper Mine\, the oldest commercial mine in America. This led to his interest in the Colonial iron industry in the state. Presently living in Preston\, he has been a historic restoration technician since 1986.
