List of Officials 1636-1665
be noted that for several years Hartford, Windsor, and Wethers- field were usually represented by four instead of two deputies.
It must be remembered by those who make use of this com- pilation that the records of the Colony of New Haven are missing from April, 1644, to May, 1653, except for two Courts held in 1646. The names of Assistants and Deputies for nearly the whole of this period are therefore omitted herein, except where they have been supplied from other sources. The first volume of records relates chiefly to the plantation (town) of New Haven and not to the Colony. This has not been understood by many who have used the book, with the result that Deputies (Judges) of the Town Court have often been mistaken for Deputies to the General Court of the Colony.
References to volume and page of the printed records of the Colonies are made in smaller type beneath the record of each individual, to enable the reader to verify each statement. For references to proof of service in the Pequot War, see the late James Shepard's "Connecticut Soldiers in the Pequot War" (Meriden, Conn., 1913).
The New Haven records stated what towns each Deputy repre- sented, but the Connecticut records of this period did not do so, and often failed to state even the first names of the Deputies. This deficiency has been supplied from other sources by the editor, but the reader is asked to remember that the names of the towns are not given in the original Connecticut Colonial Records.
The greatest care has been exercised to ensure accuracy, and every reference given has been checked back and compared with the original. Many town histories have been consulted, and the editor is under special obligation to the 1922 Register of the Connecticut Society of Colonial Dames of America. It is believed that the present publication will be of great service to historians and genealogists.

* Some writers have attributed all publlc services of Jehu Burr through the year 1670 to the father. and thereafter to the son. This may have been the fact, for the records of service do not differentiate between them, and the services of the two men cannot be separated with certainty. The elder Jehu served for two terms after settling In Fairfield, but a long break In service
. occurs between 1646 and 1659; thereafter the name of Jehu appears with great regularity, continuing through the perlod when the elder Jehu died. It Is surprising if the younger Jehu had no public service until his father died and then immediately leaped into prominence. We think it more likely that the elder Jehu did not serve after 1646 and that the younger Jehu began his service in 1659, at that date being at least 35 years of age.

* It is certain that John Clark of Hartford served In the Pequot War, for he had a lot in Soldiers' Field. This man cannot be Identified with the New Haven John, as he was still living in Hartford after the other man had settled in New Haven. He would have been somewhat too old to permit of Identifica- tion with John of Farmington. Some have Identified him with Elder John Clark of Saybrook and Milford, and this identification seems to be possible.
Stiles states that John Clark of Wethersfield served in the Pequot War. No proof of this has been found, and it is doubtful whether proof exists. The Wethersfield man left there early enough to permit us to Identify hlm with John of New Haven, and he was probably the man who acted as Interpreter In negotiating the purchase of New Haven from the Indians In 1638. The fact that he was appointed Sergt. of the New Haven Train Band as early as 1642 sug- gests the probablilty that he saw servlee In the Pequot War, as it was natural to give this post to one who had had active service, and several veterans were avallable. His knowledge of the Indlan language points In the same direction.
For the research which enables us to arrive at these deductlons, we are Indebted to Mrs. Clarence F. Hand, of Philadelphia, Pa.
