In celebration of Oxford's Bicentennial in 1998, the fifth grade Talented and Gifted team from Center School is conducting a search for information pertaining to three early families of Oxford: TOMLINSON, HAWKINS and TREAT. Information about their history and any stories, pictures and memorabilia that may help in gaining an understanding of who these people of early Oxford were would be much appreciated. If you can help in this study in any way, please contact the 5th Grade TAG team at 462 Oxford Road, Oxford CT 06478 or through Mrs. Wright, the TAG teacher: aldaniels@snet.net

I have in my possession a well-worn copy of the History of Ancient Woodbury, Connecticut from the First Indian Deed in 1659 to 1854 including the towns of Washington, Southbury, Bethlem, Roxbury, and a part of Oxford and Middlebury.
This book was written by William Cothren in 1854 and is now on-line and searchable, as part of the University of Michigan's Digital Library. Searchable History of Ancient Woodbury, CT. The format of this volume is oodles of lists of political, religious, military, and fraternal entries (primarily just say that they were a member of such & such and are not indexed).
The real meat of the volume is in the Family Histories, which are indexed and contain a vast amount of information.
Oxford Past is a joint effort dedicated to providing a free database of Oxford history online. Our goal is to gather as much information as possible, to create a resource for Oxford, that is as informative and accurate as possible.
