Old Connecticut Path. The project to rediscover the Old Connecticut Path began as a family history project to find the route of the Old Connecticut Path from Cambridge to Hartford followed by my ancestors, Reverend Thomas Hooker and his family along with Reverend Roger Newton who married Mary Hooker to begin the Newton family in America. Reverend Thomas Hooker and his congregation set out on a journey from Cambridge, MA to Hartford, CT in May 1636 along what came to be known as the Old Connecticut Path.
This group was among those who followed the trail west through the unsettled wilderness to build a new life in Connecticut. Later generations descended from them continued their forefathers' tradition of migration west across the country. The Old Connecticut Path served as one of the the first trails followed in the nation's westward expansion. While the Old Connecticut Path served as the gateway west for almost a century, it has now largely vanished from view. In places, the Path is hidden in plain sight. 1. BFHA: MA, CT, VT & NY.
