Visible Saints, West Haven, Connecticut, 1648 - 1798

Visible Saints is the story of colonial Connecticut in microcosm. Through seven generations, the village of West Haven struggled to win its freedom from New Haven. What it earned instead was a reputation as the problem child of the Puritan Order. In a sharply divided community of Puritan saints and Anglican dissenters, West Haven's curious blend of religion and politics proved to be an explosive mix that paved the road to Revolution. As a shoreline community with a front-row seat to the war, West Haven suffered a series of enemy assualts that changed the village forever. Visible Saints is a fascinating study of a unique Connecticut community that will be valued by students and general readers alike for its scholarship and as history well told.

New Haven Town Records, 1769 - 1819: Ancient Record Series Vol. IV

New Haven Town Records, 1769 - 1819, an annotated transcription of New Haven's official town records from the end of the French and Indian War through the American Revolution, up to the passage of Connecticut's Constitution of 1818, separating the Congregational Church and the State, and introduced universal suffrage for all white males, age 21 and over. The reference provides details on hundreds of municipal regulations and thousands of New Haven residents through the 50-year period, including vitals and offices held.

New Haven Town Records, 1769 - 1819 is a literal transcription of the minutes of New Haven's Town meetings over a 50-year span that is arguably the greatest epoch in New Haven's storied history. Fully annotated and indexed, this 470-page volume documents New Haven's remarkable transition from a small colonial seaport on the edge of the first British Empire into a vibrant American city and leader of the American Industrial Revolution. From contemporary details on New Haven's entry and experiences in the American Revolution to its golden age as a seaport, economic collapse due to the Jeffersonian Embargo and War of 1812, and eventual rebirth as a major manufacturing center, New Haven Town Records, 1769 - 1819 is destined to become a significant primary resource for anyone interested in New Haven Revolutionary and Early National history. And in recording the births, deaths, and public offices held by over 2,500 New Haven citizens, this volume is a genealogical treasure.
