PREFACE. EARLY CONNECTICUT MARRIAGES, BOOK VII.


So often is it such undertakings as this are left very incomplete that we have special reason for gratification in the final accomplishment of a task begun some ten years ago with timid heart. It was a large task then set ourselves; but the years and the accomplishment alone have revealed its full meaning. And now we are exceeding glad of the effort in that so many in all parts of the country have received some benefit therefrom.


As to the records herein, so far as can be discovered they are the only existing ones of this period not before appearing in print. It is possible the coming years may reveal others as in the case of Glastonbury and gradually our list of "Church Records Lost" see some reduction. Let us hope so. Our own search has failed to find more. Any informa- tion that would lead to the discovery of a single additional hook would he gladly welcomed. For the value of such records lies but in their ability to disclose additional family data whereby to anchor another American family to the good old state of Connecticut and to the churches that have in all the years fostered the Christian manhood and womanhood shared by the generations of to-day.


In addition to the records of Congregational churches it is our pleasure to supply herein those of the Episcopal Church also. Unfortunately they are comparatively few though the Church was early established here and might but for the trials of the Revolution which scattered so many of its adherents have contributed much more to the result. However herein are published all that can be found to date.
