I am quite sketchy on the details, but a number of municipalities that had no functioning government and had been defacto wards of larger entities for a while were swept from the state's official records in the eighties.

The only reason that I have a vague half-assed memory of that is because I am from Gilead, CT which no longer exists. After 50 plus years of being a ward of Hebron, the arrangement was made official in the late 70s or early 80's.

Our old Gilead town hall has been a personal residence since the sixties. When it happened, my grandfather refused to write 'Hebron' as his address. The Hebron Post Master would always hand-cross out Gilead from his mail and write "Hebron". As the years passed, it became "Hebron!!" with very deep indentations from the pen he was using.

Thanks for the information on this.
