THE
ANCIENT
HISTORICAL RECORDS
OF
NORWALK, CONN .;
WITH A
PLAN OF THE ANCIENT SETTLEMENT,
AND OF
THE TOWN IN 1847.
COMPILED BY EDWIN HALL, PASTOR OF THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
NORWALK : JAMES MALLORY & CO. NEW YORK: BAKER & SCRIBNER. 1847.
Entered according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1847, by EDWIN HALL, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the District of Connecticut.
S. W BENEDICT, Stereotyper and Printer, 16 Spruce Street.
ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER.
1137026
THE design of the compiler of this work has not been to write a History of Norwalk ; but to copy from the Records whatever mat- ters appeared to be of any historical interest; and in all cases to let the Records speak for themselves.
The genealogical registers are very imperfect ; and if any fami- lies are omitted, it is because they were not put upon the public re- cords ; and because the compiler, after repeatedly advertising, and after some months' delay, has failed to obtain them.
It was the compiler's design, strictly to limit these registers to the familes of such as were married before the year 1800 ; but dur- ing his absence some names were forwarded directly to the printer ; and among them a very few families of later date, which were in- serted and printed before the compiler had an opportunity to cor- rect the error.
The compiler is aware that much more might have been accom- plished, by searching through the numerous volumes of records of later years ; by copying the monuments in the burying grounds ; and by researches after the old records and registers of private families. But he has had no time for such an extended research ; he did not consider the patronage sufficient to warrant the additional ex- pense ; and if he had not failed in his efforts, for several years, to en- list some one else in a labor which he deemed so desirable, he would himself never have undertaken it at all. He therefore trusts that all concerned, instead of complaining that no more is given them, will be thankful that so much is rescued from the oblivion to which it was hastening; and will use whatever efforts they deem proper, to secure what is yet left behind.
NORWALK, Nov. 5, 1847.
