Note.
Among the Connecticut Archives are files of the General Assembly up to
1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the History of Hadley, assa-chu.
setts, selected and arranged documents from these files up to the year
1790 in one hundred and twenty- two volumes. 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 Indians, 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 in the material on Indians, Second Series, is August 1666, found on the
copy of an agreement between Uncas & Aramamat which concerns the boundary
line between the Mohegans and the Indians at Podunk, Windsor and Hartford;
and the latest date is May 1820, found on the appointment of an overseer of
the tribe of Indians at North Stonington. There are three hundred and seven-teen
documents in the Second Series of Indians which have been arranged in
two volumes.
The table of contents not only furnishes a convenient calendar of legis-lation
on Indians for the period covered, but gives a digest of the subject
matter.
The work on th arrangement of manuscripts for these volumes and on the
Index was done by Jessie A. Parsons. The same compilation of the spelling
of surnames was followed as in previous volumes, using the spelling which is
found most often, with reference made from unusual spellings. Full names of
members of the General Assembly have been filled out from authentic rolls of
the Senate and House in possession of the State Library.
The typing of the Index was done by Jessie A. Parsons and was completed
September 14, 1944.

| Transcript | CONNECTICUT ARCHIVES INDIANS SECOND SERIES, 1666- 1820 TWO VOLUMES AND IiDEX IIDEX Hartford Connecticut State library 1944 Note. Among the Connecticut Archives are files of the General Assembly up to 1820. About 1845 Sylvester Judd, author of the History of Hadley, assa-chu. setts, selected and arranged documents from these files up to the year 1790 in one hundred and twenty- two volumes. 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 Indians, 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 in the material on Indians, Second Series, is August 1666, found on the copy of an agreement between Uncas & Aramamat which concerns the boundary line between the Mohegans and the Indians at Podunk, Windsor and Hartford; and the latest date is May 1820, found on the appointment of an overseer of the tribe of Indians at North Stonington. There are three hundred and seven-teen documents in the Second Series of Indians which have been arranged in two volumes. The table of contents not only furnishes a convenient calendar of legis-lation on Indians for the period covered, but gives a digest of the subject matter. The work on th arrangement of manuscripts for these volumes and on the Index was done by Jessie A. Parsons. The same compilation of the spelling of surnames was followed as in previous volumes, using the spelling which is found most often, with reference made from unusual spellings. Full names of members of the General Assembly have been filled out from authentic rolls of the Senate and House in possession of the State Library. The typing of the Index was done by Jessie A. Parsons and was completed September 14, 1944. Connecticut State Library, Hartford, Conn. September 14, 1944. State Librarian. Abbreviations. CA) ass’ t capt.
