PREFACE.
Hartford, an incorporated city since 1784, did not
adopt the system of numbering its buildings until well
into the nineteenth century, it is, therefore, difficult to
locate the residents of 1799 on the few streets then within
the limits of the city.
Through advertisements in the "Courant" and "Mer-
cury" we sometimes learn the advertisers place of busi-
ness, as they frequently refer to some point from which
to direct their customers, as the "Meeting House;" the
"State House;" the "Bridge;" over Little River, the
"Ferry;"the "Printing Office of Hudson & Goodwin"
and other well know landmarks.
These directions have been used in the following pages,
as well as a brief list of the principal articles offered for
sale by the advertiser.
The first directory for Hartford was published in 1828,
it contained about 2,000 names, many of them printed
twice. The second directory and the first of the series
now published, was issued in 1838, and has 1,625 names.
This compilation for the year 1799, has nearly one-
half the number. Hartford then had a population of
about 5,000.
This directory has been compiled from manuscripts in
the writers possession, dated 1799, from the newspapers
of that date and from other sources.
There are a few persons in ever large community who
have an interest in the past, particularly of the locality
with which they are familiar. To them, and a few
others who have some curiosity regarding the population
of Hartford over century ago, it is hoped this little work
may prove of some service.
