Jacobus Families of Ancient New Haven Vol 7

The Families of Aboriginal New Haven compilation includes the families of the aboriginal town of New Haven, covering the present towns of New Haven, E Oasis, North Haven, Hamden, Bethany, Woodbridge and Due west Haven. These families are brought downward to the heads of families in the Outset Census (1790), and include the generation born near 1790 to 1800. Descendants in the male line who removed from this region are also given, if obtainable, to about 1800, unless they have been adequately fix forth in published genealogies.

It is intended to give every record of birth or baptism to 1800, every record of wedlock to 1810, and every record of death of individuals born prior to 1800 in the above towns. All dates derived from the public records are followed past an abbreviated reference in italics, indicating their source. A key to these abbreviations is provided. The vital records of six towns, the registers of seven churches, and the inscriptions in twenty-seven graveyards have been copied The probate, land and court records have been searched, equally far equally they chronicle to families that settled in this region prior to 1750. Much material has also been gathered from probate and town records of districts and towns outside of this region. Dates non followed by symbols are usually from printed authorities which, although unverified, are considered trustworthy.

The early Wallingford and Cheshire families, which for the most part were of New Haven origin, are given completely to 1780, and in many instances to 1800.

Omissions in Families of ancient New Haven

Another antiquarian is engaged in compiling the families of Milford and Orangish. Hence, we shall devote equally picayune space equally possible to those families of Woodbridge and Bethany which originated in Milford.

Some miscellaneous and unassigned records are omitted in the main trunk of the piece of work. They volition be given in the last installment, together with such additions and corrections as may be furnished by descendants.

Arrangement of Families of ancient New Haven

Families are bundled alphabetically. Under the founder of the family, two generations (children and grandchildren) appear. Children are numbered in the gild of birth. Grandsons who left issue are assigned a family number and carried frontwards every bit heads of families.

Brackets are used to enclose statements that are not based on conclusive bear witness. Such statements, when also preceded by an interrogation point, are considered doubtful.

Ages at death are given in years, months and days. Thus, "ae. ten" signifies x years; "se. 0-10", 10 months; ' at. 1-0-five", 1 yr and 5 days. If the record gives the historic period in weeks, the abbreviation "wks" is used.

The Quondam Way calendar prevailed until September 1752. March 25th was New Yr's Day, and March was commonly reckoned the start calendar month of the yr. Hence, dates between 1 January and 24 Mar were normally considered to belong to what is now reckoned the preceding year. Thus, "five February 1703" often ways 1704; only since the New Style was sometimes employed before officially sanctioned in 1752, ''5 Feb 1703" sometimes means 1703. Information technology was the exercise of careful scribes to employ double dates ("5 Feb 1703/4," meaning 1704). The course used in the tape is given in the post-obit compilation, and the corrected double appointment is oftentimes added in brackets.

Towns are in Connecticut unless some other colony or state is designated.

Census records: divorce: bastardy

Nearly all of the heads of families who appear in the First Census (1790) in the region covered have been identified. The demography record is given in the post-obit form:

"Demography (NH) 2-1-3."

The abbreviation in parenthesis signifies the boondocks where resident; the first figure indicates the number of males aged xvi years or over, including the head of the family if a man; the 2nd figure, the number of males under 16 years; the tertiary figure, the number of females, including the head of the family unit if a adult female. Through an error in the Census returns, the population of Barkhamstead, Canaan, Colebrook, Goshen, Hartland, Litchfield, New Hartford, Norfolk, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington and Winchester are all listed nether Litchfield.

Divorce and bastardy, both of which were more mutual in colonial New England than is generally supposed, are apt to prove perplexing and annoying to the genealogist. Proved cases are for this reason here given, and since nosotros practice not pass beyond 1800 it is believed no offence will be taken past living descendants. In the case of divorce, the usual causes were desertion, infidelity or bigamy. Herein we do non land the cause, and merely signify the guilty political party by the argument "he div. her" or "she div. him". Wherever nosotros give the name of the father of an illegitimate child, reputed male parent must ever be understood as implied.

In a piece of work covering and so much ground, information technology is not possible to give anything beyond statistical material. Biographies, and colonial or revolutionary services, fall within the sphere of the family historian. Civil and armed services titles, notwithstanding, are given when establish on record.

Family Histories: Acknowledgments

Wherever information technology has been possible to consult family histories or magazine articles treating of families included herein, that fact is signified by placing the symbol * before the family name in the former instance, or the symbol f in the latter. This not just is an acknowledgment of indebtedness, merely refers the reader to the volume or commodity for the later on generations of the family unit. The histories of the Tuttle, Trowbridge, Munson, Dickerman, Ailing and Atwater families have been particularly helpful. Some genealogical works have not been found invariably accurate, and where any record given herein differs from what has previously appeared in print, it is because the compiler believes the previous business relationship to be in fault.

The compiler thanks all those who have furnished individual or Bible records, regretting that he cannot specify indebtedness in each instance. Special acquittance is due to the following:

Clarence Eastward. Thompson of West Haven, for permission to examine the manuscripts of the late Harry Ives Thompson, including a copy of the West Haven mortality list;
Roger South. White of New Haven, for permission to apply the belatedly Henry White'due south copy of the First Church records;
Ethel Lord Scofield of Westward Haven, for much valuable information, especially fabric from the Superior Court records at Hartford;
Francis B. Trowbridge of New Haven, for placing at my service his big collection of information on New Haven families;
Rev. George S. Dickerman of New Oasis, for use of his extensive Motes on several Mount Carmel families;
George C. Bryant of Ansonia, for information relating to families -with Milford connections;
Clarence D. Smith of Rome, N. Y., for data on the Peck and allied families;
O. Eastward. Hotchkiss of Oakland, Cal., for information on the Hotchkiss and allied families;
Dr. G. A. Gilbert of Danbury, for employ of his extensive notes on the Gilbert and centrolineal families;
Rev. Wallace Humiston of Northfield, for his copy of a private Bethany mortality list and other assistance.

The compiler is grateful to the several custodians of church registers, whose courtesy enabled him to re-create the records under their care.

Classification constitute within Families of ancient New Haven

The spelling of surnames did not get standardized until a comparatively contempo date. Some spellings prior to 1800 are due simply to the ignorance of the clerks or notaries who wrote the names. Others are variations which the possessors of the name themselves adopted, and which became fixed in sure branches of the family unit. Thus, Ailing and Allen, Cole and Cowles, Humphreville and Umberfield, are variants of the aforementioned proper name. Since few of these variations became permanently fixed prior to 1800, the method of the present compilation is to condone them and to use throughout the spelling which prevailed in the early generations.

In the Eighteenth Century, diminutives were regularly employed in identify of the commoner Christian names; as Polly for Mary, Dolly for Dorothy, Patty for Martha, or Sukev for Susan. As a rule, such forms were used interchangeably. A woman might be christened Bede in infancy, bnt lengthen it to Obedience later in life; or a man who was christened Azariah might ally, sign deeds, and dice, all under the proper noun of Riah. Such carelessness was prevalent that the genealogist cannot assert that this or that was the proper form of the name in whatever individual case. In the present compilation, no attempt is made to distinguish betwixt variations of Christian names.

Even such names as Mehitabel and Mabel, Ellen and Helena, or Alice and Elsa, were frequently used interchangeably.

The Compiler

Donald Lines Jacobus, B. A. (Yale 1908), Thousand. A. (1911), was born at New Haven, Conn., 3 Oct. 1887, and became interested in genealogical research at an early on age. For over xx years he has searched the original records and collected the material which is presented in the following pages. He is a member of the New England Celebrated Genealogical Society, and has contributed many manufactures to that Society's publication. The present compilation was planned several j^ears ago, but was delayed by the war, in which Mr. Jacobus served as a fellow member of the American Expeditionary Forces. Every attempt has been put along to make this compilation a perfect work of its kind; in so far as imperfections have crept in, indulgence is craved.
