BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SOURCES OF INFORMATION


A red bound volume (A) containing the Charter and names of the Grantees to whom Governor Benning Wentworth granted the town of Manchester and also the meeting records of the Amenia, New York, Proprietors to whom the original Grantees sold their rights can be found at the town clerk's office, Manchester Village. A sec- ond volume (B), a Proprietors' record book, contains mostly land transactions and surveys. A third volume of Proprietors' records is missing, but judging from its table of contents (which is available), it contained land surveys.


Volume 1, Land Records, contains town meeting records, 1771- 1789; Volume 2 has no town meeting records; Volume 3 has town meeting records, 1790-1795; Volume 4 contains no town meeting records; Volume 5 records 1796-1802; Volume 6, 1804-1806; Vol- ume 7, 1806-1812 inclusive; Volume 8, 1813-1818 inclusive; Vol- ume 9, 1819-1824 inclusive; Volume 10, 1824-1829 inclusive plus three special meetings; Volume 11, 1830-1833 inclusive.


Beginning with the 1833 town meeting, minutes are included in a ledger labeled "Town Records" and Volume 1 contains the meet- ings 1834-1919 inclusive; Volume 2, 1920-1951; Volume 3, 1951 to date. These volumes also contain records of all elections, officers sworn, etc.


Bound volumes of Town Reports begin 1888, but do not contain minutes of the meetings until 1915. Unfortunately there are no narrative accounts of the accomplishments of town officers until the beginning of the town manager system in 1941.
