Hi there,

I am interested in any information about the Stephen Hildreth family that lived in Richmond in the 19th century.  I understand that he once lived in the "Clement Hoyt House."  Can you tell me if that house still exists?  Some sleuthing I did suggests that the address may be 2666 Cochran Road.

Thank you!

Hi Rachel,

My apologies on the address, it was in fact 2666 Cochran Road which I checked out, I used 1666 in error. Just another FYI, the town records regarding births, deaths, and marriages prior to the mid 1800s are limited to what was recorded in town reports, as there was a fire and most of these records were lost, heres what I found though;

Female Hildreth born 3/23/1869 parents were Henry and Mandana(?) Hildreth father born in Richmond, mother born in Essex

Henry Hildreth died 7/8/1882 63yrs 8mos 22 days parents Steven and Adeline Hildreth

Illa Hildreth born 9/13/1883 parents Joseph and Della Bryant Hildreth both parents born in Richmond

Adeline Hildreth died 11/25/1887 78 yrs 8 mos 13 days widowed, born in Canada

Frederick H Hildreth died 3/6/1890 36 yrs 3 mos single, died of TB parents Henry and Betsy Manwell Hildreth

Ill keep checking into your inquiry regarding the Elder Steven Hildreth
