Pawcatuck Neighborhoods - Downerville

Downerville in Pawcatuck, a part of Stonington CT, is located just across the Pawcatuck River from Canal St in Westerly RI.

"On the south side next west of the Stillman Mill was the planing mill, office and draught room of C. Maxson & Co., then the Pawcatuck Hotel, Avery Hoxie, landlord, with livery stable in the rear. The next was the home of Dr. William Robinson, in his day a large owner of real estate. He held title at time of death to a large part of Downerville, better known years ago by that name than at present, and I wish to correct the impression that may have existed why this part of Pawca-^ tuck was thus named.

The name came from a man who did not live in Pawcatuck or have any real estate here. Mr. George Downer, a New York business man, was the executor of Doctor Robinson's will, with power of sale. Many who bought lots here and built their homes never heard of Doctor Robinson, but the popular Mr. Downer made the sale, signed the deed, and thus Downerville."

Mystic Neighborhoods - Pequotsepos

Pequotsepos Road connects Jerry Browne Road and Mistuxet Road on the eastern side of the Pequotsepos River in Mystic.

The names in the Stonington area come from the Algonquin dialect spoken by the Pequot-Mohegans. In the Indian language many words were made up of two or more elements. For example, Pequot-sepos combines Pequot, which stood for both the tribe and the river we call Thames, and sepos meaning "little river." We translate this as "little river of the Pequots."

Mystic Neighborhoods-Greenmanville

Named for its founders, Greenmanville in Mystic Seaport represents a typical 19th century industrial town with a rich documented history of participation in the movement to abolish slavery.

The Greenman brothers founded a shipyard here in Mystic and became social leaders in the community that grew around it. They contributed to the establishment of a Seventh-Day Baptist church (c. 1851), whose denomination denounced slavery by its covenant.

In 1852, the church hosted Lucy Stone, a famous Anti-Slavery Society and women’s rights leader for a lecture, when no other churches in the area would allow her to speak. The brothers also donated to antislavery causes and ran for local offices on antislavery platforms.

Oral tradition places the Greek Revival-style home (c. 1839) of George Greenman (1805-1891) as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Many of the Greenmanville buildings are open to the public with regular admission to the Mystic Seaport.
