The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records
Covering 137 Connecticut towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, the Barbour Collection of Connecticut birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. This present series, under the general editorship of Lorraine Cook White, is a town-by-town transcription of Barbour's celebrated collection of vital records, one of the last great manuscript collections to be published. Each volume in the series contains the birth, marriage, and death records of one or more Connecticut towns. Entries are listed in alphabetical order by town (also in alphabetical order) and give, typically, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and sometimes such items as age, occupation, and place of residence. The town of Wethersfield is the subject of Volume 52, which was compiled by the Greater Debra F. Wilmes.
Kentucky Colonization in Texas
In this publication, which is reprinted from "The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society," the author has furnished a history of the Peters Colony as well as a list of the colonists themselves, which comprises the final half of the book. In this list the genealogist is given full scope for his researches, as each of the 2,000 settlers is positively identified with regard to the following information: name, marital status, occupation, age, year of migration to Texas, county of settlement, state of birth, and state from which he migrated. Professor Connor extracted his information from original sources in the general land office, records of the Peters Colony, and the 1850 census of Texas.
