Thus it happened, in the year 1792, when the erection of
357
INCORPORATION OF THE CITY
a State House was proposed, these were the men to claim it for Hartford's square. A proposition had been made that very year, by a writer in The Connecticut Courant, with much plausibility, to sell from that area two rows of store lots, to raise money to extend the public landings on the river. It was then described as "a valuable but now ufe- lefs furplus . .. large, rough, muddy, deformed fquare, commonly called State-Square, one fourth of the year almoft impafsable by man or beaft; moft of it of little ufe except as a lumberyard, and from the peculiar nature of the foil and the prefent ftate of the town, there is little profpect of its being improved by leveling, paving &c." 1 As early as April, however, "the Subscribers for a New Court-Houfe" had been requested to meet "at Mr. David Bull's Long Room" on "business of importance." 2 Their subscription paper is dated June 1st. The leading signers were: Jere Wadsworth, Thos Seymour, George Wyllys, John Trumbull, John Caldwell, Jnº Morgan, Bars Deane, David Bull, Hudson & Goodwin, Wm, Jos. & R. Hart, Thos Hopkins & Charles Hopkins, Wm Moseley and Chauncey Goodrich, who subscribed sums from one hundred to five hundred dollars, and forty-five others, whose subscriptions were smaller. Most of those here named had been, or then were, members of the Court of Common Council. All of the subscribers were the City's friends - the representa- tives of the memorialists of 1784. So it has come to pass, by no purpose of theirs but the fortunes of time, that the historic edifice, which they and their associates did so much to erect, survives as a memorial of the early struggles of the City of Hartford.
