As webmaster/researcher for the Church Family of Petersburgh, NY website, at
I am seeking an online map that may show the primitive road network extant in 1780 in CT, MA, and eastern Rensselaer County in eastern New York State. My goal is trace the probable route taken by the Church & Stewart families in their 1780 migration from Stonington, CT to the Little Hoosic Valley in NY, where they became leaseholders on the Stephen Van Rensselaer manor.
In particular, is the 1779 map by Claude Sauthier available for online viewing in its entirety?
Thank you for your assistance.
