Just in case you haven't seen it yet, I wanted to point you to the SMFSD. They have done God's work with early Middletown genealogy, thanks in no small part to Middletown being home to the Godfrey Memorial Library, one of the nation's most important genealogy-specific libraries.

The "official" list of First Settlers of Middletown -- they're always called that -- is at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ctsmfsd/Index.html. I just did a lot of work on George Hubbard, of Hartford and added him to the project. (I realize his display name might be confusing, but it's what he's always known as -- except in Middletown, of course. :))
