Hartford and New-Haven Turnpike Company records, 1799-1853 (bulk 1799-1840).

Also present in Box 2 is an unrelated printed indenture with manuscript annotations, dated September 2, 1799, transferring 100 acres of land in Ontario County, New York, from Oliver Phelps of Hartford, Connecticut, to Oliver Ellsworth of Windsor, Connecticut.

The records contain approximately 300 manuscript papers including, in Box 1, correspondence, contracts and agreements, financial statements, toll both records, lists of stockholders, records for 12 scheduled dividends paid out between 1805 and 1826, dividend orders and receipts, and in Box 2, vouchers (invoices and receipts) for building, maintaining, and repairing the road. Most of the correspondence is addressed to Simeon Baldwin, but letters were also sent to James Hillhouse and Jeremiah Wadsworth.
