Proprietors' Records of the Town of Waterbury, Connecticut, 1677-1761.
Katharine A. Prichard.
The city of Waterbury, in New Haven County, Connecticut, was incorporated in 1686. The establishment of Waterbury, or Mattatuck, as the town was originally known, grew out of the efforts of a number of inhabitants of Farmington, Connecticut, who, in 1673, petitioned the General Court in Hartford for permission to launch a settlement "at a place called by the Indians Matitacocke." The volume at hand, which was transcribed and edited by Katharine Prichard from original sources, makes available the records of the Proprietors of Waterbury from 1677 to 1761. Ms. Prichard's transcription is divided into the following key elements: orders and letters, 1673-1687.
