"One of the striking indications of civilization and refinement among a people is the tenderness and care manifested by them towards their dead." ~ from Board of Trustees of the Antietam National Cemetery, 1869 ~


Otis Family Genealogy Chart

This is the genealogy chart that I made for the Otis family of Middletown, CT. These charts make it easier for the reader to follow the connection of family relations. The chart was made in a Word document and is kind of primitive, but it gets the job done.

Also, see the page Otis Family Genealogy (Middletown, CT) for more detailed information on most of the individuals below.

Chart for Hayden Otis and his children with Mary Lord: 

Hayden Otis was the son of Stephen H. Otis, Sr. and Lucy Wedger. Hayden Otis was a “half-brother” to Erastus S. Otis (Daniel Otis’ father); they both shared the same father. This would make Hayden Otis, a “half-uncle” to Daniel Otis and the children of Hayden Otis, “half-cousins.”
