NOTE
About 1845 the First Series of the Connecticut Archives covering
the period 1630 to 1790 were arranged topically by Sylvester Judd.
Additional documents were transferred to the library from the Secretary
of State’s Office about 1910. These became known as the Second Series
and extended the period from 1790 to 1820.
This is the index to the thirteen volumes of Insolvent Debtors
Second Series which contain documents for the period 1750 to 1820.
