Division of Land
The schedule, though prepared before April, 1841, is found in the record-book amid the records of 1643. The schedule furnishes important aid in determining who were proprietors of the town in the first years of its history.
While the division of lands was in progress, the name of the plantation was changed, by order of a general court held on the first day of September, 1640, from Quinnipiac to New Haven. There is no reason for believing that any of the planters came from the port of that name on the southern shore of England, and the record gives no clue to the reasons which influence the court in naming their plantation. In dropping the aboriginal designation, and adopting one familiar to Englishmen, they followed the custom of their time.
RESIDENTS OF NEW HAVEN From 1640 to 1650, who were not recorded in the list on pgs 109-111 (just above), with the year of the first mention of their name in the Records of New Haven Colony, the year of their death when know, occupation, etc.
