Description

Costs in the Case of Rex vs. Negro Zadock Collection

Overview

This is a digital collection of cost documents from the 18th‑century case of Rex vs. Negro Zadock before the New Haven County Superior Court. The collection comprises scanned images (JPEG and TIFF) of original receipts, bills, and cost sheets, many of which include handwritten notes and amounts in pounds. The material is catalogued by the Connecticut State Library and is available in English. It is part of the NHSC BAAI (Black, African American, and Indigenous History) project, which focuses on court records involving African American and Indigenous individuals.

Background

The case was heard in the New Haven County Superior Court between 1700 and 1800. The clerk of the court, Colb, produced the cost records that now form this collection. The documents reflect the financial aspects of the litigation, including payments to clergy, constables, and other parties involved in the proceedings. The collection is a primary source for scholars studying legal, social, and economic conditions of African American and Indigenous communities in colonial and early‑American Connecticut.

Contents

  • Cost sheets listing payees such as Rev. North Worcester, Rev. Zadock Negro, Rev. Sen & Weed, Rev. George Nichols, Rev. Den Pachaps, and Rev. Sarah Weed, with amounts ranging from £16 to £48.
  • Bills of cost for travel and assistance, e.g., a bill against Caleb Weed for transportation to Derby.
  • Charges recorded for individuals like Sam Ireed and Jos' Ireed, including detailed line items for fees, horses, and court attendance.
  • Court‑charged amounts noted by the clerk, including a “Court charged by Pomme” entry.
  • OCR‑extracted text accompanies each image, providing searchable transcriptions of the handwritten entries.

Scope

The collection covers the financial documentation of the Rex vs. Negro Zadock case, spanning the period 1700–1800. It is geographically focused on New Haven County, with specific references to Waterbury and Derby, Connecticut. The material is limited to cost and fee records; it does not include the full court docket, pleadings, or judgments. The collection is publicly accessible and presumed to be in the public domain, pending verification of rights.
