General Index of the Land Records of Hartford, Connecticut, 1639-1839

This grantor/grantee index of the land records of Hartford was compiled and published by the town in 1873. Included in the index are the names of the grantee and grantor, volume and page number of the record, character (warrantee, mortgage, distribution, quitclaim, lease, assignment, execution, chattel, etc.), and date of action.

To order the record of an individual found in the index, researchers must write to the city clerk of Hartford. More information can be found at the city of Hartford's website. The Connecticut State Library keeps land records on microfilm from the 1600s to the early 1900s, which can be viewed at the library.

It should be noted that although the title of the original publication indicates that the records only go to 1839, the volume itself actually includes a number of records from later years.

The original text can be accessed at the NEHGS Library, call number CT HAR 68.
