Research Tips

In May 1786, Brooklyn was formed from a large section of Mortlake Manor (patented in 1687) and part of the Town of Canterbury.
Mortlake Manor boundaries:
Northern boundary followed Mashamoquet Brook. The Eastern boundary followed the Quinebaug. The Western boundary was about a half-mile west of and parallel to Connecticut State Route 169. The southern boundary laid approximately a half-mile north of today’s U.S. Route 6.
Mortlake was roughly 6 miles east to west, and 7 miles north to south.
