Description:Excerpt from A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records, Vol. 1: Hartford District, 1635 1700 It seems appropriate, when a book has been prepared for publication, in offering it to the public, that the author or compiler should state dearly and concisely its purpose. The late Hon. Charles J. Hoadly, LL. D., once said to the writer: "People looking up their ancestry come back to Hartford." This indicates not only the value for research of the early records to be found here, but as well the numerous and widely distributed descendants of the men who settled upon the "Great River," at Hartford, Wethersfield, and Windsor, 1634-1636. To preserve the essential part of these Probate Records; to arrange them in form to be more available for reference; to arrest their constant wear and rapidly accelerating destruction; to marshal the parents and children of these early families by name, place, and collateral relationship, with incidental historical matter, giving volume, page and date for reference to the original writings; with a copious index in a book the reader may hold in hand, whether living near or remote from Hartford - is here offered as a reason for this Digest. In the volumes of Probate Records the wills and inventories are entered upon one side and indexed. Upon the other side are entered the (Acts), or Court Records, also indexed. The wills, inventories, and some distributions of estates, are kept on file, in boxes - each separate - wills in one box, inventories in another, and the distributions in a third box. There being from 100 to 150 papers in each box, the wear, by frequent examinations of the frail old papers, tends to ultimate destruction. Vol. I of this Digest is made up from the first six original volumes of Probate Records, and each volume is indicated by roman numerals in the running title, except the Appendix to. Vol. I, which is composed of miscellaneous matters. Throughout the work, page and figures in the center of the line indicate wills and inventories in the volume shown in the running title, unless otherwise stated. Page numbers following the words "Court Record," refer only to the acts of the Court in the volumes of original record. Wills and inventories have been copied from the pages in the several volumes, or from the original papers on file. Wills and distributions, with some inventories, found upon file (not recorded) have received careful attention. Among this class are found some valuable and interesting papers. Court Records are not put upon file. As the acts of Court are sometimes found in several volumes, continued many years before the final settlement of an estate, errors in names or otherwise occur, which cause much care and labor to adjust.
