Newtown, Long Island, Court and Town Records

Extracts relating to the Sackett and Bloomfield families copied and transcribed by Chris Sackett from books at the Family History Library, 2003.

There are two volumes, volume 1 being the Court Records, and volume 2 the Town Records. Volume 2 is in two parts. The pagination of Vol 2 would appear not to bear any relationship to the chronology of the records, raising the question of whether the original was in loose-leaf rather than bound form.
