Note.
Among the Connecticut Archives are files of the General
Assembly up to 1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the His-tory
of Hadley, Massachusetts, selected and arranged documents from
these files up to the year 1790 in one hundred and tenty- to vol-umes.
The documents from 1790 through 1820 were transferred from
the office of the Secretary of State when our new State Library and
Supreme Court building was occupied.
It is principally from the last mentioned documents that
the material on Ecclesiastical Affairs, Second Series, was taken,
with the addition of a few documents of the earlier period, omitted
by Mr. Judd from the First Series. The earliest date is December
1666, when the town of Stratford agreed on division of sequestered
land for the support of two ministers, and the latest date is Octo-ber
1820, which was the date of a Thanksgiving Day proclamation by
Governor Oliver Wolcott. The documents in the Second Series, num-bering
nine hundred and eighty- tvo, have been arranged in six vol-ues
as follows: I: Pblio Acts; Congregational Ecclesiastical So-cieties:
Ashford- Cornwall; II: Congregational Ecclesiastical So-cieties
( continued): Coventry- Killinvorth; III: Congregational
Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued): Lebanon- Oxford; IV: Congre-gational
Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued) Plainfield Windsor;
V: Congregational Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued): Woodbridge-
Woodstock; Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Shaker societies; Fast
and Thanksgiving Days; VI: Missions; Miscellaneous, i. e. Connecti-cut
Bible Society; Ministers’ Annuity Society; ConfesSiOn of Faith;
Prosecutions; Toleration Act; Committees on Election Sermons.
The tables of contents not only furnish a convenient cal-endar
of legislation on Ecclesiastical Affairs for the period cov-ered,
but give a digest of the subject matter.
The work on the arrangement of mansoripts for these vol-umes
and on the Index, made by Jesse A. Prsons, was begun in Janu-ary
1931. The dictionary plan of name, subject and tow entries
has been follved in this Index. Under the name of an individual
will be found all reference to such persons. When the spelling of
a surname appears in several forms, one is taken under which all
the others are combined and references are made from the unused
spellings. The spelling chosen is as far as possible the one mast
used or one for which an autograph is found. Full n& mes of members
of the General Assembly have been filled out from authentic rolls

| Transcript | CONNECTICUT ARCHIVES ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS SECOND SERIES, DECE[ BER 1666 OCTOBER 1820 SIX VOLUMES AND INDEX INDEX Hartord Conneoiout State Library 19SS Note. Among the Connecticut Archives are files of the General Assembly up to 1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the His-tory of Hadley, Massachusetts, selected and arranged documents from these files up to the year 1790 in one hundred and tenty- to vol-umes. The documents from 1790 through 1820 were transferred from the office of the Secretary of State when our new State Library and Supreme Court building was occupied. It is principally from the last mentioned documents that the material on Ecclesiastical Affairs, Second Series, was taken, with the addition of a few documents of the earlier period, omitted by Mr. Judd from the First Series. The earliest date is December 1666, when the town of Stratford agreed on division of sequestered land for the support of two ministers, and the latest date is Octo-ber 1820, which was the date of a Thanksgiving Day proclamation by Governor Oliver Wolcott. The documents in the Second Series, num-bering nine hundred and eighty- tvo, have been arranged in six vol-ues as follows: I: Pblio Acts; Congregational Ecclesiastical So-cieties: Ashford- Cornwall; II: Congregational Ecclesiastical So-cieties ( continued): Coventry- Killinvorth; III: Congregational Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued): Lebanon- Oxford; IV: Congre-gational Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued) Plainfield Windsor; V: Congregational Ecclesiastical Societies ( continued): Woodbridge- Woodstock; Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Shaker societies; Fast and Thanksgiving Days; VI: Missions; Miscellaneous, i. e. Connecti-cut Bible Society; Ministers’ Annuity Society; ConfesSiOn of Faith; Prosecutions; Toleration Act; Committees on Election Sermons. The tables of contents not only furnish a convenient cal-endar of legislation on Ecclesiastical Affairs for the period cov-ered, but give a digest of the subject matter. The work on the arrangement of mansoripts for these vol-umes and on the Index, made by Jesse A. Prsons, was begun in Janu-ary 1931. The dictionary plan of name, subject and tow entries has been follved in this Index. Under the name of an individual will be found all reference to such persons. When the spelling of a surname appears in several forms, one is taken under which all the others are combined and references are made from the unused spellings. The spelling chosen is as far as possible the one mast used or one for which an autograph is found. Full n& mes of members of the General Assembly have been filled out from authentic rolls ForfeqtuheentSeunsaetehaasndbeHeonusmeadien opfostsheessiBoanrbooufrtChoellSetcattieonLiborfarCyo. nnecticut Vvailtauel RasecoardrsefearnedncteheworUknitinedthSitsateisndeCxenhsauss boefen179t0h. e fOolflpoawritnigcuvolla- r Wtouhonmeere: yrecahnmoCdosorenernterfitiesbh, ruaetnniiconoennsmseosantrtaoemetimhnaseidsteaEncfcfocerulsone, mdsitafthsoheretiucnaaannmlueesHceicslgnteiasovmiereanyss. toiinfcaaClfoonrnseeocsctaiiiecdtuyth. itsh- e September 8T0h, e i1n9/ 3p3i. ng was done by Edith E.
