Description

Joseph Mountain Execution Receipt – New Haven County Superior Court, BAAI Collection

Overview

This item is a still‑image record of a legal execution receipt for Joseph Mountain. The receipt is preserved in both JPEG and TIFF formats and is catalogued by the Connecticut State Library as part of the New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) files, specifically within the Black, African American, and Indigenous History (BAAI) subset. The document is dated generically as “YYYY” and is presented in English.

Background

The receipt originates from the New Haven County Superior Court, a key repository of legal documents in Connecticut. The BAAI project, supported by the National Historical Preservation and Research Center (NHPRC), seeks to digitize and index court records that involve African American and Indigenous individuals. Joseph Mannheim is credited as the executor who prepared the receipt, while the execution itself was carried out in New Haven County.

Contents

The image displays the formal receipt, including the names of the parties involved—Joseph Mountain as the executed individual and Joseph Mannheim as the executor. OCR text indicates the presence of “Hale” (likely the executioner) and the abbreviation “Ex'r” for executor. The receipt records the legal formalities surrounding the execution, such as date, location, and parties. Metadata classifies the item under execution, legal documents, New Haven County, and BAAI.

Scope

This item covers a single execution event in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of a larger collection of NHSC case files and papers. It is relevant to scholars studying the legal treatment of African American and Indigenous people in Connecticut’s history. The receipt is included in the NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject index, providing a controlled subject heading for researchers. The collection does not include the full case file, only the receipt itself, and is limited to the documented execution of Joseph Mountain.
