1838 SALEM Witch Trials
Connecticut Blue Laws 1650 New Haven Quakers Witchcraft
This incredible 19th-century record of the Blue Laws of New
Haven was a direct correlation to cases during the Salem Witch Trials.
The Blue Laws of the Colony of Connecticut, as distinct from the generic
term "blue laws" that refers to any laws regulating activities on
Sunday, were the initial statutes set up by the Gov. Theophilus Eaton with the
assistance of the Rev. John Cotton in 1655 for the Colony of New Haven, now
part of Connecticut. After the laws were approved, they were printed in London,
England, in 1656 and distributed to households in New Haven.
