Description

Hampton vs. Martin Clark Execution Judgment Image Collection (New Haven County Superior Court, 1700‑1800)

Overview

This is a digital collection of three high‑resolution TIFF images of the court judgment in the 18th‑century execution case Hampton vs. Martin Clark. The images were scanned from original New Haven County Superior Court records and are part of the Connecticut State Library’s digitization program that focuses on Black, African American, and Indigenous history. The collection is indexed under the NHSC BAAI Cases Papers Subject field, which tracks subject terms for New Haven County Superior Court files involving these communities.

Background

The New Haven County Superior Court, located in New Haven, Connecticut, issued the judgment in Hampton vs. Martin Clark during the 1700‑1800 period. The case concerned a capital‑punishment proceeding, and the judgment documents were preserved in the court’s archives. The Connecticut State Library acquired the originals and, as part of the NHSC BAAI project, digitized them for public access. The images are stored in the PINAX system and are available through the library’s digital repository and IPFS links.

Each image reproduces the printed judgment, including the court’s heading, parties, and the final decision. No OCR data is available; the files are intended for visual inspection and scholarly use. The collection is part of the larger NHSC BAAI Executions series, which documents execution cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals.

Scope

The collection covers the judgment portion of the Hampton vs. Martin Clark case, limited to the three TIFF images. It represents a snapshot of 18th‑century legal proceedings in New Haven County and is situated within the broader NHSC BAAI digitization effort. The collection does not include related pleadings, transcripts, or ancillary court records, but it provides direct access to the formal court decision that concluded the execution case.
