FROM MAY, 1757, TO MARCH, 1762, INCLUSIVE.

TRANSCRIBED AND EDITED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A RESOLUTION OF THE

PRESS OF THE CASE, LOCKWOOD & BRAINARD COMPANY.

1880.

PREFATORY NOTE.

These sheets contain the first four hundred and forty-six pages the ninth manuscript volume of the Public Records of the Colony.

Neither the Journal of the Governor and Council nor that of ither branch of the General Assembly during the years which

this volume embraces are known to be extant.

It is to be regretted that so many of the pay-rolls of the Connecticut troops who served in the French war are missing from our archives; as thereby several worthy officers, who took the places of others receiving appointments from the General Assembly but for various reasons not joining the army, fail of mention in these pages.

In the Appendix are the Answers to Queries from the Board of Trade, 1761-2, from copies procured at the Public Record Office

in London.
