SOME EARLY RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS
OF AND RELATING TO THE TOWN OF
WINDSOR CONNECTICUT 1639-1703
HARTFORD CONNECTICUT HISTORICAL SOCIETY
1930
974.62 C7625
The documents here printed are among the earliest records of one of the three towns which united to form the Colony of Connecticut. That the most extended of these documents is a private record and that some of the others can hardly be designated as official records, does not lessen their interest or value. Families whose descendants are now to be found in all parts of the country, are here set down with the utmost care; the names of those who had civil rights in the young colony are given; the method of governing the new town is shown; ecclesiastical controversies are touched upon, and the taxable worldly goods of each inhabitant, with their values, are recorded.
All of these original documents have been in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society for more than three-quarters of a century.
The data contained in the Matthew Grant record was printed in part in the "New England Historic Genealogical Register" in 1851 and was incorporated by Henry R. Stiles, M. D., into his "History of Ancient Windsor," the first edition of which was published in 1859. There is reason for believing that in compiling this work, Dr. Stiles did not compare the copy which he used with the original record. In 1905 the writer of this note made a careful copy of the record, which has been used in the present printing, and the "printer's proof " of which has been twice read with the original manuscript. The whole record is now for the first time printed all together in its original form.
Since the Matthew Grant record was here put in type, comparison has been made with another early copy, which is found to contain a few names and dates now missing in the original record and not appearing in the early copies which had been previously consulted.
iv
In order to include these names and dates in this publication, a num- ber of lines have been reprinted as an appendix. As there are numerous manifest errors in this copy, it is possible that caution should be used in accepting these additions. Dates now missing from the original record have also been supplied from entries made by Matthew Grant himself on the early land records of the Colony, now in the office of the Secretary of the State at Hartford. This material was published in 1898 by Edwin Stanley Welles with the title "Births Marriages and Deaths returned from Hartford, Windsor and Fairfield."

THE MATTHEW GRANT RECORD
USUALLY CALLED THE
OLD CHURCH RECORD 1639-1681
WITH ADDITIONS
1685-1696 1717-1740
The Matthew Grant "Old Church Record " of Windsor, so called, now in possession of the Connecticut Historical Society, remains in the paste board box in which it has been kept since its receipt by the Society in 1853. The box, now somewhat delapidated, measures 7 x 912 X 234 inches, is covered with light blue paper, and on its cover is written the following probably in the hand of Dr. Sill:
"An Ancient Manuscript relating to the early Settlement of Wind- sor Conn Containing Births Deaths Marriages &c &c &c Deposited by Theodore Sill M. D. of Windsor Ct. Jany Ist 1853 & subject to his order Found among the Papers of the late Revrd Henry A. Rowland for 40 years Pastor of the Congregational Church in Windsor
"A Copy of this Manuscript is deposited in the Town Clerks Office at Windsor Conn."
On a corner of the cover Rev. Thomas Robbins, the librarian of the Society for many years, has written, "From Dr. Theodore Sill, Windsor."
A copy made by Colonel James Loomis of Windsor as early as 1850 contains the following history of the manuscript, written by Deacon Jabez Haskell Hayden, Windsor's able historian.
"It doubtless remained his private property and in his family. There appears no evidence that it was ever passed over to the town authorities, or ever became a part of the church records. Samuel Grant, eldest son of Matthew, was among the early settlers on the east side of the river, and his descendants continued to go east as far as Ellington, and it is strong presumptive proof that this record was held in Ellington as late as 1740 when this list of deaths from 1717 to 1740 was entered, more than half a century after the death of Matthew Grant. In 1767 (?) Peletiah Birge of Windsor married Mary Grant of
4
WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT.
Ellington, and brought his bride to the Birge Homestead, (then stand- ing on the site of the late Roswell Miller House). After remaining there a short time they removed to Windsor Locks. About the year 1800 the Birge Homestead, then known as the Molly Birge House, was pulled down, and Oliver Ellsworth Jr. in searching among the ruins discovered this manuscript book. How came it in the Birge family? Presumably Peletiah's bride Mary Grant of Ellington brought it to Windsor, and left it at the Birge homestead, when she went to live at Pinemeadow, Windsor Locks. Fortunately the young man who found it was able to appreciate its value, and carried it to his father Chief Justice Ellsworth, who gave it to Pastor Rowland. At his death (1835) it passed into the hands of his son in law Theodore Sill, then to Col Loomis about 1840, where I found it and held it long enough to make a copy for myself, and this copy was made from mine. There is also an earlier copy made by one of the Rev. Mr. Rowlands sons, which has since come to light, and is now in the Town Clerks office in Windsor."
The manuscript itself now consists of 48 leaves measuring about 6 x 734 inches. With the exception of two leaves of records now loose from the others, and some occasional scribbling by later hands it is almost entirely in the handwriting of Matthew Grant. It seems to be made up of two parts or signatures. The first part comprising 14 leaves, seven on each side of the fold. The first six are now repre- sented only by fragmentary stubs, some of them about one and one half inches in length, which bear no trace of writing. The seventh is fragmentary and is torn from the book, and the records upon it are in a black ink such as was used by Grant in writing the later portions of the record. The records proper seem to begin on the eighth leaf, and it is possible that the previous leaves were originally folded back so as to form the end of the manuscript; the absence of a cover making this possible. The reverse of the fourteenth leaf is only partly filled with records.
The second part consists of 38 leaves, 19 on each side of the fold. The first leaf, except for scribbling upon it, is blank. The record begins on the obverse of the second leaf. Two loose leaves contain entries in a different hand and of a later date. The water stains on

.
these two leaves are identical with those on the last leaf of this second part, apparently showing that they originally belonged at this end.
It is possible that the two parts were originally two distinct and separate records, and were sewed together to form one volume by Grant himself during the years when he was making out this copy. For it must be remembered that this record is only a copy begun by Grant in 1674 from an old book then full.
The paper forming the volume is very brown and is now exceed- ingly brittle. Many of the edges have become broken off or have
worn away.
The ink in some places is very faint and almost the color
of the paper. The writing is old fashioned and often difficult to read.
Missing portions of the record are indicated by the insertion of brackets. Words or letters which appear in copies made more than seventy-five years ago; but which are now missing, due to the crum- bling of the paper, are inserted within the brackets. Other words or letters which are not found in the early copies; but have been supplied from the general context, are further enclosed by parentheses within the brackets. The pagination has been added in brackets.
