Windham Newspapers, 1817-1820, includes The Register (later known as The Register and Country Advertiser), The Advertiser, and The Political Visitant.

[Note: I have only been able to locate very few of these newspapers, therefore many issues will be missing. Please also bear in mind that these early newspapers contained all kinds of “proclamations” etc. from state and federal officials, and news from other parts of the U.S and the world. I will only list the items that pertain to Windham (or CT) history and genealogy, or contain something of interest. Also, many of the issues contain duplications of Notices and Advertisements, which I will only list once.]

1. TR Thu Mar. 13, 1817: Vol. 1. Prospectus. To the Inhabitants of Windham County. In presenting you with this sheet, as a sample of a Weekly Paper I intend publishing in the town of Windham, your patronage is solicited for its support. I am sensible of its diminutive size, but the smallness of the type on which it is printed, and the few advertisements which will likely be offered, will leave room for nearly as much news as is generally contained in papers published in this state, and the price being but little more than half that of other papers will make up for the deficiency in size. The two former papers printed in this town have been discontinued for the want of substantial encouragement; and as my purse will not permit me, (were I so disposed) to work for the public good alone, I have calculated to commence this upon the most economical plan I could devise; should you support it with such liberality as to yield me a profit, the paper shall hereafter be enlarged to a handsome respectable sheet. No doubt you are all anxious to have a paper established that shall equal in size those published in the other counties of the state; but before you insist upon that, calculate the expences of such an establishment, and determine for yourselves, whether the business of the county, or your generosity would be sufficient to ensure its continuance. Advertisements are the greatest profit a publisher of a newspaper receives; in fact, they are the only profit that can be calculated upon. Of these there are but few in this county; the merchant advertises but little; the mechanic none, in comparison with those of other counties. If you are satisfied that a large paper would receive sufficient support, establish one for yourselves; there are hundreds of printers who may be hired to do the mechanical part, for small wages, in preference to conducting a paper on their own account. If you have any doubts as to the profits of a large paper, then support a small one, and in due time, should the encouragement be good, you shall have a larger. That the Register may receive the support of all parties, the Editor will endeavor to conduct it impartially. Pointed political allusions will be excluded. And although he cannot expect to please every one, he will endeavor to merit general approbation. Those who are desirous of becoming subscribers for the Register, are requested to send their names to the Editor as soon as convenient. No paper will be sent after the first number, unless expressly ordered.

2. TR Thu Mar. 13, 1817: By his Excellency John Cotton Smith, Esq. Governor and Commander in Chief in and over the State of Connecticut, A Proclamation. From a review of the dispensations of Divine Providence during the past year, and of the ungrateful returns we have made to that Almighty Being who has distinguished us by many blessings……[a long “proclamation”, parts are omitted]…..With these impressions, and in pursuance of ancient and pious example, I have thought proper to appoint, and I do hereby appoint, Friday, the fourth day of April next, to be observed as a day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer throughout this State. And I earnestly request all ministers and people to convene on that day, in their several places of religious worship; that in our solemn assemblies we may offer to the Most High, through the medium of His Son, the sacrifice of a humble and contrite spirit for our abuse of His mercies, our repeated violations of His law, and our inattention to the gracious invitations of His gospel…[omitted parts]…..All servile labour and vain recreation on said day are by law forbidden. Given under my hand, at Sharon, the twentieth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, and in the forty-first year of the Independence of the United States of America. John Cotton Smith. By His Excellency’s Command, Thomas Day, Secretary.

41. TR Thu Nov. 20, 1817: Communicated. Died, at Pomfret, Ebenezer Grosvenor, Esq. Attorney at Law, aged 29.—Just elogiums upon the dead, serve a valuable purpose to the living, in prompting them to follow the examples of virtue and integrity, and in stimulating them in exercising those faculties of the mind which elevate man in the scale of existence. The subject of this Obituary Notice was the one of Gen. Lemuel Grosvenor of Pomfret. In early life he evinced a stability of character rarely attached to youth. During his preparatory studies, the strength and vigour of his mind were apparent to those who had the charge of his education; but more particularly in his Collegiate pursuits were those powers rendered certain. Having received the honors of Yale College in 1807, he left that seminary with the assurance of a distinguished classical schollar. The Languages, Mathematics, and Philosophy were researches fitted for a mind like his. Immediately after leaving College, he spent several seasons in the middle States, where much of his time was devoted to Botany, Chemistry, History, and those principles of education and manners which rendered him a companion of no small worth. All who knew him seemed ambitious of his society and friendship; because in him were found those rare qualities of sincerity which never smile to deceive. In the society of the most learned and accomplished he always discharged an honorable part. In 1811 he came to the Bar with the most flattering prospects of future usefulness in the profession of the Law. Since that period his advancements have been commensurate with the best wishes of his friends. At the Bar he was modest and unassuming. Zealously attached to the interest of his clients, he never failed to gain the confidence of his auditors. As he was grandson to the dauntless warrior General Israel Putnam, he also inherited much of his love of country and perseverance. Possessing a firm and robust constitution, and having always been in the habit of industry, he was a stranger to disease. On Friday he was attacked with a bilious complaint, which raged with unexampled violence and the most excruciating torture until Monday morning, when the cords of life were cut asunder, and that spirit which once animated his form, took its flight, guarded, we confidently hope, by angels of purity, “to that undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveller returns!” The Rev. Mr. Crocker, of Providence, performed funeral service in the presence of an audience deeply affected by this solemn dispensation of Divine Providence. An amiable and disconsolate widow survives to remember his endearing virtues.

42. TR Thu Nov. 20, 1817: D. Dorrance & Co. Have removed across the way, to the store formerly occupied by Jennings & Lee, and lately by Z.

68. TR Thu Jan. 1, 1818: Connecticut.
What land is that, so nicely bound,
By Massachusetts and the Sound,
Rhode Island and New York around;
Where Yankees thick as hops are found;
And hasty puddings so abound;
Connecticut.

What land is that—when George the King
Did o’er the sea his fetters fling,
And think to link us in the ring,
Which gave the cry “there’s no such thing”—
Whose sons did Yankee Doodle sing?
Connecticut.

What land is that, where folks are said
To be so scrupulously bred;
To be so steady habited;
Where hearty girls and boys are fed,
With pumpkin pies and gingerbread?
Connecticut.

What land is that, where Old Time walks,
In steady pace, o’er maple blocks;
Forsakes his glass for wooden clocks;
Where heads too high will meet with knocks;
And land were more, if fewer rocks?
Connecticut.

What land is that, where onions grow;
Where maidens’ necks are white as snow,
And cheeks like roses red you know;
Where jonny cakes are bak’d from dough;
That land where milk and honey flow?
Connecticut.

What land is that, whence pedlars come,
A thousand miles or more from home,
With tin, with bass-wood trenchers some;
With patent nut megs and new rum;
To gather up the coppers! – hum!
Connecticut.

What land is that, where parsons live;
Where men hear Gospel and believe;
Where humble sinners seek reprieve;
Where women stay at home and weave,
Nor gad without their husband’s leave?
Connecticut.

What land is that, where I can trace,
My nineteenth cousin by his face;
Where once I fish’d for little dace;
And never learned the duce from ace;
Where grand mother this might say grace?
Connecticut.

What land is that, when we behold,
And all its history unfold,
And all about the land is told,
We like most things, but some we scold?
Ah! Gentle reader, that is old
Connecticut.
