Ancient Town Records Vol 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Ancient Town Records, Vol. 2: New Haven Town Records, 1662-1684 The first volume of the Society's series of Ancient Town Records, containing the Records of the Town of New Haven from February, 1649/50, to July, 1662, was published in 1917; and the identical plan of the present volume, continuing the same matter to March, 1683/4, relieves the Committee of Publication and the Editor of the necessity of any further explanations. The two volumes of New Haven Records issued by the State of Connecticut in 1857-58 are referred to in notes to the following pages as volumes 1 and 2, and the initial volume of the present series as volume 3. It may be noted that James Bishop, after serving with remarkable efficiency as Secretary and Recorder of the Town from August, 1662, until his resignation in April, 1674, was then succeeded by John Nash, an older man, of less education, so that the last third of this volume is printed from a text much inferior in legibility and spelling to the earlier portion.
