Proprietors - WheelWrights - Farmers - of Early Connecticut

Welcome to the Home Page of our line of Connecticut Sturdevants!

We are descendants of the "Emigrant" William Sturdevant through his son, grandson, and great-grandsons John Sturdevant I, II, III, and IV.

These John Sturdevant's moved out of William's Norwalk on the Connecticut coast and helped establish the town of Ridgefield in 1709. They were also early settlers in the towns of north-western Connecticut along the New York line, between Massachussets and Danbury. They included Brookfield, New Milford, and Bridgewater. They moved through Fairfield and Litchfield counties and north, to southern Vermont.
