The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records
The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford covers 137 towns and comprises 14,333 typed pages. This magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. In 2002, the Genealogical Publishing Company, under the General Editorship of Lorraine White, completed its transcription of the Barbour Collectionin 55 paperback volumes. As several of the volumes in the Barbour series are now out of stock, we have begun the process of reprinting those books so that the entire series can be available to our customers. Volume 7 is a transcription of the vital records of the towns of Colchester, Colebrook, Columbia, and Cornwall, and it contains the birth, marriage, and death records of about 40,000 individuals. Entries are in strict alphabetical order by town and give, routinely, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and items such as age, occupation, and residence.
Colchester
Colchester, Connecticut, incorporated in 1698, was a successful farming community. When wealthy farmer Pierpoint Bacon died in 1800, he left his estate to the town to build a school. Bacon Academy opened in 1803 and not only provided primary education but also included secondary and college preparation branches, making it, in effect, the first high school in the state. In industry, Colchester was the home of the Hayward Rubber Company factory, built in 1847 by Nathaniel Hayward. This factory operated successfully for decades, promoting prosperity and growth in Colchester until it closed without warning at the end of 1893. This resulted in the biggest population and economic crash in the history of Colchester. The inexpensive property still available in town in the early 1900s led to an influx of new people and new businesses, resulting in Colchester's revitalization. To most people in Connecticut today, Colchester is best known for Harry's Place, a popular drive-in restaurant that has been in operation since 1920.
