PREFACE.
EARLY CONNECTICUT MARRIAGES.
FOURTH BOOK.
It is exceedingly gratifying to be able through kindly patronage to present herewith the Fourth Book of "Early Connecticut Marriages " -a title which by this time has become quite familiar to a few at least in all parts of the country who have been permitted thereby to link themselves with Connecticut's early colonial life.
Even if not without some prospect of a financial loss, still the satisfac- tion that comes from being the means of saving a portion of our old and valuable records from the too common fate is at least part payment for the sacrifice involved.
Then, too, it may be said that had not old Benoni Bailey of Danbury, born 1697, settled on Connecticut soil, leaving for the colony a goodly line of descendants, though no information of his ancestry, our un- swerving interest in Connecticut records might not have been so appar- ent. And yet one with any degree of love for American antiquity could hardly live in this venerable State, with its intensely sober history and a thought of the multitudinous fruitage scattered everywhere, and at the same time be a constant witness to the decaying condition in which the old records exist, without making some feeble attempt to save.
The facts upon which this statement is based are not far to seek. In- deed, a faint idea of our serious losses and dangers may be gathered from the list of " Records Lost" to be found herein. It has reference alone to the old church records, which, though in private hands, have not been most wisely cared for. And when it is understood how in many cases our organized townships have been the outgrowth of such churches, it may be seen that the loss of the church records means everything. And as for town records themselves, it is not the actual loss at present that we have to lament, even if in several cases fire has destroyed them. From our constant experience among them during the last six years, during which time it has been our privilege to examine the records of almost every old town in the State, it may be truthfully and candidly said that lest some definite action on their behalf is quickly taken by State authorities, this very conservative old com- monwealth is likely to lose a goodly number of the most precious arch- ives within its territory. And that, too, not necessarily by fire, but simply in the fact, which any one can appreciate, that even the best paper and the best binding an hundred and fifty and two hundred years old, subject to the hard usage they have had and still have, must wear out. This, we are free to say, is a pertinent fact too frequently met with among the records of our old towns. And is made more real when we understand that towns themselves in numbers of cases have done nothing and are doing less to preserve other than to continue to furnish meager safe room. In an at- mosphere of utter indifference and neglect, with old books fast decay- ing and with no attempt made to secure copies, every descendant of Connecticut ancestry has good reason to be alarmed and as well to pro- test.
iv
PREFACE.
To be sure there are praiseworthy exceptions to this broad state- ment-cases where towns themselves are alive to the seriousness of the situation, and where town clerks, too, taking oft the initiative, have deeply interested themselves in the protection and preservation of the books in their care. Such towns as Hartford, Norwich, Norwalk. Stam- ford and other cities, where perhaps the ready means and public de- mands have opened the way. Also in some of the smaller towns, where the influence of some interested party or town clerk has pre- vailed, as at Plainfield, Preston, Guilford, Windsor, Woodbury, Ridgefield, East Haddam, New Hartford, Saybrook. But in others, where there has been neither the personal interest nor the means, such as Lyme, Colchester. Willington, Farmington. Stratford, Sims- bury, Haddam, Sharon, Greenwich, Stonington. Wallingford, Salis- bury, Enfield. Windham, Union, Lebanon, Fairfield. Canterbury. Newtown, there may be seen ancient records which should either have been carefully transcribed long ago, or else placed in good repair. As it is here in these towns may be found valuable historical records rapidly passing beyond recall.
With considerable satisfaction we read in the annual message of His Excellency, Governor Lounsbury, a reference to this subject. Upon his suggestion the Assembly, just before adjournment, was pleased to take action and to provide for the appointment of a Commission of Public Records that should in due time make report. And yet it seems as if two years were a long period under the circumstances to await a report which is, after an examination, merely to recommend the best methods of preserving the old archives. Surely the subject so very familiar to our town representatives might have found some ready expedient to effectually check at once all further danger of loss or dam- age in this direction.
The prevailing system of record keeping, which has never been changed since first the colony was organized, and which provides that each town retain its land records under the care of the town clerk, who also is recorder, might for public safety and convenience have been improved upon long ago. As it is we to-day, who are reading and thinking of expansion and progress everywhere, have the opportunity of seeing herein an indication of the old conservatism that exists among us. It may do very well for a city or large centralized village, having the means and permanent quarters to retain possession of all land records within the township, but when it comes to searching for a town clerk afar from the railroad centers, who, perhaps, suddenly and unex- pectedly coming into public office by some sudden change of political power, has, for his own personal convenience and economy, carried the old books away to his own inaccessible home, the incongruity of the thing impresses the mind amazingly.
It will be found, too, that the towns themselves have no uniform way of protecting their records. The question of expense being a vital one, and the office of town clerk-with little remuneration-not largely sought for, the problem becomes one of expediency. And so we find three different methods in vogue The town records may be found in private houses at Pomfret, Ashford, Mansfield, Lyme, Lisbon, Lebanon, Union, Somers, Killingworth, Woodbridge, Wilton, Easton, East Windsor, Thompson (in part), Wethersfield, Harwinton, Hebron, a safe being provided. In other towns the country store has been the most convenient repository for the public safe, as at Preston, Canterbury, Killingly, Colchester, East Haddam, Avon, Granby. Cornwell, Kent, Willington. A bank vault is used at Nor- folk and Canaan; while in the majority of cases a building is pro- vided for the town clerk's use, though it is not the case everywhere that the safe is at all adequate for the protection of all papers deserving of it.
V
PREFACE.
It may be remarked in passing how many early records have never been provided with indexes of the Grantors, though quite as essential as that of the Grantees to be found.
To the stranger searching among us, our probate system, perhaps, possesses the most unintelligible complications. He finds the probate offices scattered about the State, as if choses in some lottery scheme, and so ordered that they cover varying degrees of territory. The early history of our old towns may offer a solution to this question, as we see how with the dissection of original towns into new townships the pro- bate still remained intact till public convenience made necessary a larger extension of districts. The whole system is for our day rather antiquated and sadly inconvenient, but in so ignoring township lines it did establish a fortunate precedent that might well have been followed in the case of the town records themselves. As to the probate records, it can hardly be said that they are in any more satisfactory con- dition than the town, though less in number. The early probate at Fairfield. New Haven, Sharon, Stafford, Colchester. Plainfield, are sadly deficient with indexes especially wanting, while in the latter case an old safe is provided and located in a country store. Such old books as can be are crowded into it, but, strange to say, the door cannot be locked nor yet closed securely. And these records date back to 1747. And this, notwithstanding that the town of Plainfield possesses a capacious vault in which its own thoroughly indexed records are safely kept.
In addition to the above, the State possesses valuable court records reaching back into the early colonial days, and located at Hartford, Norwich, Bridgeport and elsewhere, but which are seldom consulted for lack of any index whatever. Windham, New Haven and Litchfield County records have more or less perfect indexes, but the old historic county books are almost sealed to the casual searcher. It is in these we find proof how that the "Scarlet Letter" was a penalty not unknown to this colony in its earlier days, that robbery was punished by a brand upon the forehead, while other facts equally interesting are hidden from view.
Let us hope we are on the eve of a new departure in this particular. That the enterprising spirit shown in our neighboring State, the evi- dence of whose good work all can see, may ultimately reach us; and that along with good roads and good schools and good public buildings, liberal appropriations may be made for preserving all the records of the early lives of our people and of those impressive facts upon which all present and future greatness rests.
