The Settlers of Mattabeseck,
by Frank Farnsworth Starr (1900) (Transcription).
We cannot provide too many links to the F.F. Starr transcription on this web site. The Settlers of Mattabeseck is a collection of profiles of the early settlers of Middletown that was published in the Middletown Penny Press on October 11, 1900, as well as in a special supplement to the Middletown Tribune. Starr prepared the profiles for Middletown's 250th Anniversary celebration in 1900.

Profiles for the remaining pre-1700 first settlers of Middletown will be prepared as time and assistance allows.
