Description

Tyler Family Certificates (1748) – New Haven County Superior Court

Overview

This collection comprises two 18th‑century certificates issued to members of the Tyler family in 1748. The documents are part of the New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) files, specifically the “Black, African American, and Indigenous History” (BAAI) subset maintained by the Connecticut State Library. Each certificate is available in both high‑resolution TIFF and JPEG formats, with accompanying OCR text extracted from the images.

Background

The NHSC BAAI project seeks to digitize and index court records that involve Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals. The Tyler certificates were originally issued by the New Haven County Superior Court and are now held in the Connecticut State Library’s archival holdings. The collection reflects the library’s broader effort to make historically significant legal documents accessible to researchers and the public.

Contents

  • McCune Cert of Jasn. Tyler (1748) – A legal certificate attesting to a fact or right concerning Jasn. Tyler. Available as a 14‑MB TIFF and a 232‑KB JPEG (OCR: “McCune Cert of Jasn. Tyler 1748”).
  • McAven Court Samuel Tyler (1748) – A court certificate concerning Samuel Tyler. Available as a 15‑MB TIFF and a 334‑KB JPEG (OCR: “McAven Court Samuel Tyler 1748”).

The collection metadata records the creators (Jasn. Tyler, Samuel Tyler), the institution (Connecticut State Library), the date (1748), language (English), and subjects (Certificates, Legal Documents, New Haven County Superior Court, BAAI). The files are linked to the NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject index, indicating their inclusion in the broader database of court cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals.

Scope

The collection covers the year 1748, documents issued in New Haven County, Connecticut, and focuses exclusively on two certificates for the Tyler family. It does not include other Tyler family records, documents from different years, or non‑certificate legal materials. The collection is in English and is accessible through the Connecticut State Library’s digital repository (access URL placeholder).
