Shawaran. His Mark.

His home at Aspetuck, in so-called Fairfield, Connecticut, on the Saugatuck River. 

Named in this document as an Indian and a Sachem, but without reference to his tribal nation  (Here we will assume Paugussett, but invite readers to share more information if known!). This land deed transfers land from Shawaran to Thomas Hopewell and his wife, Time, both also Native, living in so-called Windsor, Connecticut.

His kin: a father, Nem (spelled as written in the document).

Land deed recorded at Hartford, November 24, 1668. Seen at John Hay Library.

An actor known for a character who hunts ghosts on the show "Supernatural" has a new house in the state of Connecticut — also famous in pop culture for alleged “haunted” happenings.

Jensen Ackles, his wife Danneel Ackles and their Stone Park Trust Agreement purchased the historic Gold Coast mansion at 1143 Sasco Hill Road in Southport in July for $9.375 million, according to mortgage and warranty deeds that are publicly available for viewing by the town of Fairfield. The property had previously been on the market for $14 million.

Jensen Ackles portrayed Dean Winchester on all 15 seasons of the drama series "Supernatural" and its 2022 spinoff, "The Winchesters." Dean Winchester alongside his brother Sam Winchester hunt a variety of malevolent entities on the show. Some of the villains have been inspired by Connecticut legends, such as season one's Woman in White, a ghost who appears in the center of roads to lure in victims. The fictional brothers also traveled to the Nutmeg State to face ghosts during season two and a shapeshifter in season 10.

Aside from his over 15-year-long role as Dean Winchester, Jensen Ackles recently appeared in "The Boys," a show about villainous super heroes. He portrays Soldier Boy, a World War II veteran and father of Homelander, the show's main antagonist.

The Ackles’ new property was once the centerpiece of one of the most expensive estates along Connecticut’s Gold Coast. Real estate company William Raveis told Hearst Connecticut Media in February that the estate was split into seven lots. The complete property last sold for nearly $50 million in 2001 and was listed at $62 million in 2013. This most recent sale was for the main house.

The Elizabethan Renaissance-style mansion sits on 3 acres of land and has more than 30 rooms across four stories and more than 19,000 square feet. It has nine bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. An elevator transports residents between levels from the basement — with a safe room, large recreation area, storage rooms and halls — to the third floor and its numerous bedrooms, gym, game room, study and more. The grand entrance on the first floor leads to a library, movie theater, wine-tasting room, grand ballroom and more.

New York architect Henry C. Pelton built the estate for Benjamin DeWitt Riegel and Leila Edmonston Riegel in 1923. DeWitt Reigel was a mill owner and businessman who split his time between Manhattan and Ware Shoals, South Carolina, according to preservationists at Historic New England.

The home stayed in the Riegel family for decades. In 1997, Katherine Riegel Emory, daughter of the original owners, deeded a conservation restriction to the Aspetuck Land Trust protecting nearly 2,000 feet of waterfront from development to serve "as one of the last remaining examples of the gracious and expansive open spaces on Long Island Sound that were traditionally a part of the large estates that formerly flourished in the area," according to the deed.

"The views of this open space have given pleasure, not only to generations of owners and their families, but also to generations of the public, who enjoy the sight of the scenic, undeveloped shoreline from two nearby public beaches, from the public road past Southport Beach, and from the waters of Long Island Sound,” Emory wrote in the deed. “In an area as rapidly and as intensively developing as the Connecticut shore, this remaining, highly-scenic open space is a unique treasure which provides pleasure and spiritual renewal to many, as well as sanctuary to birds and animals."

A Whale of a Murder: A Venus Bixby Mystery by Valerie Taylor #Review / #Giveaway - Great Escapes Book Tour @valerietaylorauthor @ValerieETaylor

A Whale of a Murder: A Venus Bixby Mystery by Valerie Taylor About A Whale of a Murder A Whale of a Murder: A Venus Bixby Mystery Cozy Mystery 1st in Series Setting - Chatham Crossing — a fictional whaling town situated between Providence and Cape Cod Publisher ‏ : ‎ Aspetuck Publishing (April 23, 2024) Paperback ‏ : ‎ 358 pages ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8986599526 Digital ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0CW1L6DC1 First in the Venus Bixby Mystery series from award-winning author Valerie Taylor. Sea breezes and fireworks fill the air in cozy Chatham Crossing, the peaceful and historic whaling town situated between Providence and Cape Cod. Venus Bixby, owner of the forever popular music store Oldies & Goodies, is counting on the festivities over the Fourth of July weekend to propel her to a position on the prestigious Town Committee. After years of living in the shadow of her late husband, Venus will finally be the center of attention this holiday weekend: starting with her fiftieth birthday celebration and ending as the parade’s Grand Marshal. Faster than a cookie crumbles, her dream collapses on the morning of her party when she trips over orange platform shoes in the gardens of the Sofia Silva Whaling Museum and breaks her thumb. When it’s discovered the shoes are attached to the body of the manager of the museum’s gift shop, Venus becomes both a suspect and a sleuth in Chatham Crossing’s first murder in decades. Given this unexpected turn of events, will Venus ever sing and dance at her birthday party, or will her fractured thumb end up in handcuffs? Includes cookie recipes and playlist! Dollycas's Thoughts Venus Bixby owns Oldies & Goodies, a music store and bakery popular with tourists. She has big plans for the 4th of July weekend beginning with a celebration of her 50th birthday in the gardens at the Sofia Silva Whaling Museum. Then she will be the Grand Marshall in the parade. Now that her husband has passed away it is her turn to shine. She has her sights set on a seat on the prestigious Town Committee. But when Venus arrives at the museum to check out the setup for her birthday party she stumbles over a pair of orange platform heels. The shoes are attached to the manager of the museum's gift shop and she has clocked her last day of working there. Venus broke her thumb in the fall but after getting it taken care of she learns she is a suspect in the woman's murder. That is not good at all. It could destroy all her plans. She is going to have to sleuth out the real killer before she finds herself singing and dancing all the way to a jail cell. ____ As the first book in the series, the author has a big job of introducing the setting, prominent places, her characters, and their relationships while unfolding an intriguing mystery. She used the first few chapters to do that which made for a clunky start. I think spreading this out more would have improved the flow at the beginning. The pacing was better as the story continued and the investigation got rolling. The characters are an eclectic group. I enjoyed meeting Venus but it took me a few chapters to warm up to her. I think you would call her relationships with every person in her life as complicated. She knows what she wants and she is going to get it and she can be brusque. But so can her "best friend" Carole who has her own agenda. Chatham Crossing has its share of quirky residents. Several try to come together to do good things but there always seems to be a competitive undercurrent between them. That makes them interesting but not the type that gives off the cozy mystery feels. Two characters jumped right into my heart. Sonny and Cher, two yellow tabbies Venus adopted to "guard" Oldies & Goodies from "Mickies and Minnies" found in old historic buildings. They are the store's mascots and get attention from the customers young and old. The mystery is complex with many moving parts and suspects. Venus didn't know who she could trust with people close to her on her suspect list. She did share her findings with Detective Donovan, but he didn't usually reciprocate. Venus working with her sister on the Sisters' List of Suspects was very entertaining. They came up with some interesting theories. I liked the articles from The Chatham Crossing Chronicle interspersed throughout the story to share some details and put forth questions that moved the story forward. The way the reveal was set up was great and it led to a very satisfying conclusion. The music store theme was fun and I appreciated the playlist at the end of the story. Even better you can find the A Whale of a Murder playlist on Spotify. There are also 12 recipes at the back of the book for cookies, bars, and bread. A Whale of a Murder is a lighthearted mystery with curious characters. Now that we have met so many residents of Chatham Crossing I am intrigued to see what Ms. Taylor has planned for them next. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC. Your Escape Into A Good Book Travel Agent About Valerie Taylor Valerie Taylor tried to retire in 2016. But life had other ideas. After enjoying some of the best years of her life in Boston and Seattle, she moved back home to Connecticut and embarked on a second career as an author. Her first romantic comedy trilogy What’s Not Said, What’s Not True, and What’s Not Lost won multiple awards. Encouraged by her readers, she created a new cozy mystery series, spinning one of the secondary characters in What’s Not LOST into the role of amateur sleuth in A Whale of a Murder: A Venus Bixby Mystery. When she’s not writing or reading, Valerie enjoys practicing tai chi and being an expert sports spectator.
