    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

There needs to be a steady stream of new recruits to replace members lost. We all have that friend, acquaintance or family member that has held off joining for whatever reason. If it is provenance that is the stumbling block there are a few things you can do. Get the prospects information. His parents and grandparents’ names (including maiden names), and the general location of where they lived. Birthdates are a help, but not necessary. Next step is to enter this in Ancestry or similar genealogy search engine. There is usually someone in the Camp who has a subscription, so I am recruiting them now. It costs nothing to add an extra tree and you can delete it as soon as you find the results. Once you have a probable ancestor, a male ancestor living in the US with a birth date from 1820 to 1845. Put them on your short list. You can check the Wisconsin Historical Societies roster, the 1885, 1895, 1905 veterans census’, the NPS soldier and sailors database, Fold3 (if you have access) or if the ancestor is from a different state, their soldier’s roster (most states have them), Civil War Index, Civil War Archives, Civil War Database. There are numerous databases not mentioned that are useful also. If no one in your Camp has a search engine, get what info you can and send it to me or DJVC Decker.
