Lambert, Edward. History of the Colony of New Haven

Extract from
Edward Lambert, History of the Colony of New Haven

[The following appears in the records immediately after a 5 July 1643 meeting of the New Haven court, and before a General Court of 6 July 1643. Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven, states that “the list of planters and estates was clearly drawn up as early as 1640-1, though copied into the records in 1643.” By working through the list of the number of persons in each household and checking these against independent records of birth, marriage, and death dates, Anderson, Great Migration Newsletter, has narrowed the date of the list to between 29 October 1640 and 22 November 1640.
There is no John Sackett in the list, which omission, in the light of Weygant’s proposed elder John Sackett, is significant. There is also no Stolion. Further research is needed to cross-check these settlers against ships’ passenger lists. This may reveal how John of New Haven came to be there.]

The following is a list of the planters, the persons numbered in their families, with an estimate of their estates, in 1643.

It was ordered that every Planter should give in the names of the heads or persons in his family, wherein his wife together with himself and children were only reckoned with an estimate of his Estate, according to which he will pay his proportion in all Rates and Public Charges from time to time to be assessed for civil uses, and expect Lands in all divisions which shall generally be made to the Planters.
