Description
Excerpt from Some Early Records and Documents of and Relating to the Town of Windsor, Connecticut, 1639-1703
All of these original documents have been in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society for more than three-quarters of a century.
The data contained in the Matthew Grant record was printed in part in the New England Historic Genealogical Register in 1851 and was incorporated by Henry R. Stiles, M. D., into his History of Ancient Windsor, the first edition of which was published in 1859. There is reason for believing that in compiling this work, Dr. Stiles did not compare the copy which he used with the original record. In 1905 the writer of this note made a careful copy of the record, which has been used in the present printing, and the printer''s proof of which has been twice read with the original manuscript. The whole record is now for the first time printed all together in its original form.
Since the Matthew Grant record was here put in type, comparison has been made with another early copy, which is found to contain a few names and dates now missing in the original record and not appearing in the early copies which had been previously consulted.
