About Adam States, Sr.
Biography
Wheeler, Grace Dennison, The Homes of Our Ancestors in Stonington, Conn., Salem, Mass. Newcomb & Gauss, Printers., 1903,
Down the hill, set back from the road and almost surrounded by a garden, where the vines and trellises nearly cover the whole front of the mansion, is the house long known as the States home, as Mr. Adam States, a Hollander, came here and married Mr. James Noyes’ daughter, Esther; she died in a few years leaving children, and Mr. States married her sister Mary who was the widow of John Pendleton; later he married Cynthia Brown and still continued to live here. This land was part of the farm of Mr. James Noyes, which extended over to the farm now known as the Adam States, Jr. place, but it is quite probable that Mr. Noyes built this house for his daughter Esther, upon her marriage with Mr. States, in 1778, so it has been known as the States place for a hundred and twenty-five years. Mr. Erastus Wentworth of Norwich, Connecticut, married Mr. States’ daughter Esther, and after her death married Cynthia, who was then living at this place alone with her brother Ichabod. Here was once a brick kiln, where all kinds of earthen ware was made by the States’s; this one was managed by the father, and another was carried on at Stonington village by his sons; it was located at Kiln Wharf, or Shin Bone Alley, below the Capt. Williams house. Later the kiln at the States place was carried on by “Uncle Wentworth” as he was familiarly called.
