Individual note:
In a telephone conversation during the summer of 2001, Miss Alice Brown recounted that her grandmother, Lucy Ann Speary who owned a farm in Picture Rocks, Pa, told her how she use to recieve packages of Sperry Seeds from a Congressman Sperry of Connecticut. Naturally, I had to find him & sure enough I did. Of course, now I want to know who produced the Sperry Seeds. Time will tell.

Nehemiah Day Sperry's Congressional Biography reads as follows:

From The History Of Woodbridge - Conn., Excerpt from "Know Your Town" - Woodbridge League of Women Voters
Pg. 46 - Nehemiah Day Sperry - descendant of Richard Sperry and son of Enoch & Mary Atlanta Sperry, was born in 1827 and died in 1911. He owned the whitened brick house by Konold's Pond. He was a contractor, later organized and secured a charter for the Fair Haven and Westville horse trolley. He was an ardent Republican, Chairman of the State Republican Committee, and then, during Lincoln's administration, of the Republican National Committee. From 1895 to 1911 he was a member of Congress where he made what is probably his greatest contribution; he brought about the establishment of Rural Free Delivery. Pg. 48 - Sperry Park, on the road of that name, was given in 1907 by the heirs of Enoch & Mary Atlanta Sperry, on the site of their home, and in their memory. Overlooking the gorge where mill wheels turned tow hundred years ago the park, through it's name carries us still farther back to our first inhabitant, Richard Sperry.
