Quash Williams Memorial

QUASH WILLIAMS
BORN A SLAVE DEC. 16, 1762.
United with the Fort Hill Baptist
Church at the age of 24,
Emancipated at the age of 28, and
DIED NOV. 2, 1830.
______
His wife
HANNAH
Lies buried by his side.
______
OLD QUASH was truly an example
and by it "he, being dead, yet speaketh."
Erected in 1867 in memory of his
Christian virtues.
______
His motto:
"WALK AS WELL AS TALK"
The small white stone, now uprooted, is inscribed, simply, "Q.W." It used to be in the ground now covered by the overgrowth, and next to a similar marker inscribed in like fashion, "H.W." -- I first saw this memorial about 20 years ago. It was the first I had heard of slavery in New London County. Since then much more about this history has been publicized.

Comstock Bridge / Colchester
|
|
The Comstock Bridge spans the Salmon River a quarter mile north of Route 16 at the New London and Middlesex county line. It is not only a romantic relic of the past, but also a rare example of 18th and 19th century bridge-building.
The approach span is a 36 ft. long Queen post pony truss constructed in 1791, and the main is a 90 ft. long Howe truss built in 1873 -- reputedly the oldest original Howe truss still in existence. (Source: USDOT/FHWA)
The truss, floor beams, and iron rods of the Comstock Bridge date from the original time of construction; and though the bridge bore the main road between Colchester and Middletown until 1932, this is the only one of the three remaining covered bridges in Connecticut to still carry its own weight with the original timber superstructure.
