I e-mailed the Milford Historical Society
http://milfordhistoricalsociety.angelfire.com/index.html in reference to the mention of Stephen Trowbridge as a "native of Milford" in the book called
Thirty-Six Voyages Various Parts of the World made between the years 1799 and 1841 by George Coggeshall. The page is displayed in the Tuesday March 24th, 2009 post.
