This excerpt was taken from "History of New London, Connecticut : fromthe first survey of the coast in 1612 to 1852": "Ensign George Way, died in Feb., 1716-17. This was the period of the Great Snow, famous throughout New England. Ensign Way lived at the West Farms, not far from Lake's Pond, and after his decease his remains were kept for eleven or twelve days, on account of the impassable state of the roads. He was finally interred on the 7th of March, being brought into town by men on snow-shoes.The family of Ensign Way removed from New London. He had several children, but Lyme was probably the place of their nativity.
