Lebanon, Selectmen's Records, 1837-1878:
   Feb. 18, 1850: Lebanon to Mansfield.  Philip Sawyer, the colored man, is 
still in our town on expense.  He is now well enough to be moved but I think he 
will never support himself again.
   Mar. 13, 1850: Mansfield to Lebanon.  Philip Sawyer not an inhabitant of 
this town.

inhabitant of this town by not complying with the requirements of the statute.
   Dec. 9, 1850: Hebron to Lebanon.  Saunders family: Joel Saunders, his wife 
Emily, Joseph Saunders, George and Chester Saunders and a babe.  Also a man in 
the same family by the name of Burton Jordan.  All on expense.

   Apr. 7, 1851: Glastonbury to Lebanon.  Nancy Elderkin on expense here.
   Jan. 10, 1852: Lebanon to State of Connecticut.  A foreign pauper, John 
Riley, came to this town Jan. 3, 1852; now sick and on expense.  He landed at 
St. Johns about 2 months ago and has wandered through the country until taken 
sick in Lebanon.
   Feb. 5, 1852: Marlborough to Lebanon.  Family of Joel Saunders (Emily, 
Joseph, George, Chester and Caroline Saunders) on expense.
   Feb. 9, 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Abby Brown, a grandchild of John 
Brown, is at her grandfather's in Colchester in unfortunate circumstances.  She 
is an illegitimate child, about 18 years of age.
   Feb. 14, 1852: Lebanon to Colchester.  Abby Brown is not a resident of this 
town.
   Aug. , 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Daniel Hyde is at the Billings Hotel in 
this town, on expense.
   Sept. 1, 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Clark Payne died last night in this 
town.  Request funeral expenses.  (Note: the bill for this was paid by Lebanon.)
   Sept. 25, 1852: Lebanon to Columbia.  John Babcock on expense.
   Oct. 7, 1852: Hyde has resided in Colchester for many years under 
circumstances which entitle him to be regarded as having gained a settlement 
there.
   Oct. 27, 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Bill for medical attendance on 
Erastus Brown in Jan. 1852; medical attendance for Dan Hyde (Aug. 1852); burial 
expenses for Clark Payne (Sept. 1, 1852).  (Note: Lebanon paid the Brown and 
Payne portions of the bill.)
   Oct. 29, 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Daniel Hyde has not lived in our town 
for the last 12 years, nor in any one town 6 years in succession.  He has never 
performed one act to make him an inhabitant of this town.
   Nov. 5, 1852: Colchester to Lebanon.  Clarissa Lamb is on expense.
   Nov. 15, `1852: Caleb F. Chappell of Palmer, Town of Montville, to Selectmen 
of Lebanon.  I am informed that one Frances Brown is in your poor house; please 
inform as to the truth of this.
   Nov. 18, 1852: Selectmen of Lebanon to Caleb F. Chappell.  There is no 
person by the name you mention in the alms house here.
   Dec. 13, 1852: Preston to Lebanon.  The wife of Jonathan Babcock is sick and 
on expense.
   Dec. 25, 1852: Lebanon to Preston.  The Mrs. Babcock mentioned does not 
belong to this town.  Jonathan Babcock resides in this town with his family and 
has lived nowhere else to my knowledge.
   Dec. 31, 1852: Bozrah to Lebanon.  Benjamin Filmore is on expense.
   Jan. 17, 1853: Lebanon to Bozrah.  We cannot find that Benjamin Filmore 
belongs to this town.  It appears that his father was supported to some extent 
in this town and his expenses were paid by Salem.
   Mar. 1, 1853: Colchester to Lebanon.  Bill for expenses for Daniel Hyde.  He 
is still unable to support himself but is well enough to be removed.
   Mar. 2, 1853: Lebanon to Norwich.  William A. Collins, Sarah A. Collins and 
Jane Collins sick and on expense.
   Mar. 4, 1853: Preston to Lebanon.  The notice sent you Dec. 13, 1852 had 
nothing to do with Mr. Jonathan Babcock, an inhabitant of your town.  I find 
upon investigation that the mother of John Babcock was a native of your town.  
His father was a native of Rhode Island.  They had 2 children: William & John.  
Her husband died when John was a year or two old; since then she has married a 
man by the name of Carpenter and lives in the town of Franklin.  John's father 
not having settlement in this state, John takes his settlement after his 
mother.  Therefore we look to Lebanon for reimbursement of expenses, boarding, 
doctoring and nursing the wife of John Babcock 4 weeks.
   Mar. 7, 1853: Norwich to Lebanon. Re the Collins family, how many sick and 
can they be moved?
   Mar. 9, 1853: Edward Snow and his wife are sick and on expense.
   Mar. 10, 1853: Lebanon to Norwich.  Mr. Collins has been sick but is now 
improved, although the family is still on expense.  All can be moved.
   Mar. 16, 1853: Lebanon to Norwich.  Snow never belonged to this town; he is 
probably of Windham.
   Mar. 22, 1853: Lebanon to Colchester.  Hannah Hyde, wife of Erastus Hyde, is 
sick at Mr. Ephraim Clark's; on expense.
   Mar. 23, 1853: Lebanon to Preston.  It appears that John Babcock would 
belong to Franklin.
   Apr. 6, 1853: Bozrah to Lebanon.  Henry Armstrong, his wife, and his 
children (Edgar, Isabella, Georgianna and William) are sick and on expense.
   Apr. 11, 1853: Lebanon to Colchester.  Bill for support of Mrs. Hannah Hyde, 
who is still sick and on expense.
   Apr. 12, 1853: Montville to Lebanon.  Stephen Brown and his wife, Francis 
Brown, Lucy Ann Brown and her infant illegitimate child, Henry Brown and 
Matilda Brown are on expense.
   Apr. 12, 1853: Lebanon to Bozrah.  Have made every inquiry concerning 
Filmore and will not pay his bills.
   Apr. 13, 1853: Lebanon to Preston.  After further inquiries about John 
Babcock, I am convinced he does not belong to this town.
   Apr. 15, 1853: Lebanon to Norwich.  Bill for support of William A. Collins 
in March, 1853.
   Apr. 19, 1853: Lebanon to Waterford.  Samuel Beckwith and wife, Charles 
Beckwith, Nancy Beckwith, Alonzo Beckwith, Francis Beckwith, wife and child 
Esther Marrilla Beckwith on expense.
   Apr. 19, 1853: Lebanon to Colchester.  Same as preceding.
   June 7, 1853: Norwich to Lebanon.  Joseph Osborn on expense.
   June 17, 1853: Lisbon to Lebanon.  Lydia Osborn, wife of Joseph Osborn, sick 
and on expense.
   July 18, 1853: Waterford to Lebanon.  The persons mentioned in your letter 
of Apr. 19th are not inhabitants of Waterford.
   July 24, 1853: Lebanon to Columbia.  Albert Sullard and wife Mary M., Louis 
M. Sullard, John A. Sullard and Harriet N. Sullard are sick and on expense.
   Sept. 3, 1853: Bozrah to Lebanon.  Pressed for payment of Ben Filmore bill.
   Sept. 8, 1853: Hartford Retreat to Lebanon.  Jane Bennett, the patient you 
are supporting here, is in a quiet-demented and feeble condition so that she is 
more fit as an inmate of the alms house than of the retreat.  As we are very 
overcrowded, I ask that you send for her a soon as possible.
   Sept. 28, 1853: Lisbon to Lebanon.  Bill for support of Mrs. Lydia Osborn, 
June 17-Aug. 26
   Nov. 2, 1853: Bozrah to Lebanon.  Ellen Simmons and Josiah Simmons on 
expense.

admitted to the Retreat at Hartford on list of state beneficiaries.

(?), at John Wheaton's in East Haddam.  Supposed to be the illegitimate 
daughter of Olive Wheaton, daughter of John Wheaton, an inhabitant of Lebanon.  
Destitute circumstances.
