 The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut - The Flags and Seals of Connecticut
Connecticut's first seal was brought from England by Colonel George Fenwick in 1639.
It was the seal of the Saybrook Colony and was turned over to the Connecticut Colony at about the time that it purchased the land and fort at Saybrook Point from Colonel Fenwick in 1644.
Self-government returned to Connecticut in 1689, but for a number of years only a poorly fashioned substitute seal was used.

 81.ch.04: The Farmington Canal 1822-1847: An Attempt At Internal Improvement
By 1822, Connecticut’s improved turnpikes facilitated the exchange of goods between the interior rural towns and the established commercial centers found along the rivers and coastal areas of the state.
The speed with which the Connecticut General Assembly granted the bank charter, and the fact that bank charters were not so easily attained, suggest that the state was at least minimally supportive of the canal project.
Although completion of the canal to Northampton and the Connecticut River would not be accomplished until 1835, the years between 1830 and 1835 witnessed a steady stream of business on the canal with some minor interruptions because of damages or weather.

 First Lady of Connecticut
Bride of Colonel George Fenwick, governor of the infant Saybrook colony from 1639 to 1644, Lady Alice was not only the first English noblewoman to risk the rigors of life in primitive Connecticut, but also the first white woman to alter the course of the state's history.
As Connecticut's first female governor and the first woman in the nation ever elected a state's chief executive in her own right, Governor Grasso won for herself a notably high place in the history of Connecticut and in the hearts of her fellow citizens.
Be that as it may, the legend of Connecticut's first lady of folk tradition bears retelling here, both for its characteristic flavor and its claim on history, since several historians have cited it as proof that Wethersfield was Connecticut's first truly settled town.
