Church records for the present town of Norwalk are almost nonexistent for the 18th century. However, two small booklets from the 1740s, kept by a Church of England minister, probably named Richard Caner, do survive in the vault at the Connecticut State Library. The first, among records of St. Paul's Church, contains accounts and is useful for establishing residence of individuals. The other, transcribed below, contains records of communicants and baptisms and a few marriages and deaths for four towns in Fairfield County.[1] Apparently this booklet has been largely unknown to researchers. For example, the baptism of a Daniel Bouton, son of John, on 2 June 1744, has not been included in any Bouton materials researched by this author.
