CONNECTICUT'S LAW-MAKERS FROM NORFOLK.


Norfolk was first represented in the General Assembly of Con- necticut at the October session, 1777. The House of Representa- tives at that session consisted of 124 members, the Norfolk repre- sentatives being "Capt. Giles Pettibone" and "Mr. William Walter."


1832-Hiram Mills.


1834-Darius Phelps.


616


HISTORY OF NORFOLK.


In this warlike assembly were 6 Majors, 16 Colonels, and 36 Captains.


The State officers were Jonathan Trumbull, Governor,-the gen- uine, original, veritable "Brother Jonathan."


Matthew Griswold, Deputy Governor.


George Wyllys, Secretary.


John Lawrence, Treasurer.


The "upper house" consisted of 12 members, called "Assis- tants," each having the title of "Esq."


In 1786 the State Officers were increased by a "Comptroller." In 1809 the 12 Assistants had a title prefixed to their names, when they were, for example, "Hon. David Daggett, Esq." This handle at each end of the name was continued until 1826, when the "Esq." was dropped. After the adoption of the Constitution in 1818 the name Senators was substituted for Assistants. The regu- lar October Session was also dispensed with, and only the May ses- sion held. In 1830 the number of Senators was increased from 12 to 21,-the state having been divided at that time into 21 Senato- rial districts. The change from annual to biennial elections and sessions of the Legislature was made by article 27 of an amend- ment to the Constitution of the State, adopted October, 1884, which article declares that "A general election for Governor, members of the General Assembly, etc., shall be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November, 1886, and bi-ennially thereafter." "The regular sessions of the General Assembly shall commence on the Wednesday following the first Monday of the January next suc- ceeding the election of its members." Previous to this time the state elections had been held annually on the first Monday in April, and the regular sessions of the Assembly commenced on the first Wednesday in May.
