Genealogy is one of my hobbies
That war was a lot like CR a lot of bluster but little action.
Shots were fired but the death toll was less than 10
My wife is a related to the Sterlings (The family that lived in Sterling CT).
A bunched moved to the Wyoming valley after &I war.
Connecticut eventually gave up their claim. The King had granted two groups the same land. (politicians never change)
However Ct settlers were allowed to keep their land.
The next targets for Ct expansion were Vermont, upstate NY , Northern Ohio and Southern Michigan.
The Midwest has a deep cultural tie to Ct. New Jersey was an earlier target of Ct expansion. Ever wonder why you have a Fairfield NJ. the first settlers were from fairfield Ct.
To add to this older tradition the great migration from Europe 1890-1920 The NE and The Eastern Midwest were the primary targets.
Often families split because of work opportunities in these industrial areas.
You might say Ct is the mother or at least cousin of the B1G.
On the other hand Steven Austin was from a Ct family and he was pretty important to Texas.
