Hebron, Selectmen's Copy Book, 1875-1898:
  Jan. 29, 1879: Lebanon to Hebron.  George D. Watrous met with a very severe 
accident, having split his foot open with an ax while chopping.  In a state of 
high fever caused by his wound.
   Feb. 1, 1879: Hbron to Lebanon.  I think George D. Watrous belongs to 
Columbia.
   Feb. 15, 1879: Hebron to Glastonbury.  Benjamin Prophet on expense.
   Mar. 18, 1879: Manchester to Hebron.  Loren Bradford & family on expense; 
sickness.
   Mar. 22, 1879: Hebron to Manchester.  Loren Bradford not a resident.  Look 
to Marlborough or Glastonbury. 
   Mar. 24, 1879: Manchester to Hebron.  Loren Bradford, wife, & one child came 
to this town last October.  He was living in Hebron in 1857, was there at the 
outbreak of the War of the rebellion, enlisted in the quota of Hebron, and 
returned there after his discharge and lived there some years.  There is some 
question about his wife belonging to Hebron.  I am now of the opinion that she 
was never divorced from her first husband, named Beckwith.  She also has a 
child which I think belongs to Lebanon; a bastard, I think.
   Apr. 2, 1879: Hebron to Manchester.  Loren Bradford has never lived in 
Hebron six years at any one time without moving out of town, and his taxes were 
always abated.  I think he moved the first time to Hebron from Marlborough.  I 
have not ascertained where he was born; I think Mansfield or Coventry.
   Apr. 10, 1879: Chatham to Hebron: Edwin Peters (colored) and family are on 
expense.
   Apr. 14, 1879: Chaplin to Hebron.  Alice M. Bacon, child of James N. Bacon, 
is in this town on expense.  
   Apr. 8, 1879: Lebanon to Hebron.  George D. Watrous and his father, Leverett 
Watrous, have not lived in any one town long enough to gain residence.  They 
will hold their residence under their father's and grandfather's (Ichabod 
Watrous), who was a resident of Hebron.
   May 22, 1879: Hebron to Glastonbury.  Joel C. Peters (colored) & his wife 
Mary are on expense.
   June 2, 1879: Hebron to Lebanon.  Paid bill for George D. Watrous.
   June 26, 1879: South Windsor to Hebron.  G.S. Peters, colored man, has asked 
for assistance to bury a child of his.  He said he belonged to Hebron and lived 
at J.G. Page's some 8 years and has not lived in Manchester or any other town 
long enough to gain a residence.  I will not send the bill, as he promises to 
pay part himself in a few weeks.
   July 15, 1879: Plainville to Hebron.  Plainville to commence suit if bill 
for Charles D. Gray and family is not paid.
   July 31, 1879: Plainville to Hebron.  Charles D. Gray, wife Julia A., and 
children (Edith Annette, ae 12; Charles Austin, ae 9; Alice, ae 20 months)
   Sept. 30, 1879: South Windsor to Hebron.  Peters has been unable to repay 
his bill.  He has moved out of town.  He says his father was Ira Peters & is 
dead now.  He refers you to John F. Page or D.W. Post for information.  He says 
he worked for Mr. Bliss, who has since died.  He was born in Hebron and has 
lived there most of the time since.  
   Oct. 21, 1879: Hebron to South Windsor.  George Peters' father, Ira Peters, 
lived & died in Glastonbury and was buried by that town.  George lived with Mr. 
Bliss when a boy but did not live in Hebron after he was 21 to gain a 
settlement here.
   Oct. 12, 1879: Chatham to Hebron.  Edwin Peters, wife & 2 children on 
expense.
   Oct. 21, 1879: Hebron to Chatham.  Edwin Peters & family are not inhabitants 
of Hebron.  His father lived in Bolton 7 or 8 years & I have been told that 
they belong to that town.
   Dec. 13, 1879: Hebron to Montville.  Bill for goods furnished Mrs. John 
Weeks, Feb. 12, 1878-Dec. 13, 1879.
   Dec. 26, 2879: M.W. Robinson, M.D., to Selectmen of Hebron.  Peter Buser, an 
employee at Turnerville, was struck by the locomotive on the branch railroad 
and seriously if not fatally injured.  He has no residence and is without doubt 
a state pauper.
   Dec. 30, 1879: Hebron to State of Connecticut.  Buser was struck by 
locomotive on Dec. 25, 1879.  He came to Hebron from Paterson, N.J. July 28, 
1879.
