4. | Hon. Thomas Day was born on 6 Jul 1777 in New Milford, Litchfield County, CT (son of Reverend Jeremiah Day and Abigail Noble); died on 1 Mar 1855 in Hartford, Hartford County, CT. Notes:
Thomas pursued his preparatory studies with his father, his brother Jeremiah, Barzillai
Slosson of Kent, Conn., and at New Milford academy, and graduated at Yale College in 1797.
He commenced immediately his legal studies under Judge Reeve of Litchfield, Conn. He was,
from Sept. 1798, to Sept, 1799, a tutor in Williams College, continuing at the same time the
study of the law with Hon. Daniel Dewey of Williamstown, Mass. After three months' study at
Hartford, Conn., under Theodore Dwight, in December 1799, he was admitted to the bar. He
immediately commenced practice in Hartford, where he continued to reside until his death. In
1810, he was elected by the people of Connecticut, secretary of state, and was continued in office
by twenty-five successive elections, until May 1835. He was appointed in May 1815, associate
judge for the county of Hartford, and annually afterwards, with the exception of one year, until
May 1825, when he was made chief judge of that court, and retained the office until June 1833.
From March 1818, until March 1831, he was one of the judges of the city court of Hartford. Mr.
Day was one of the committee who prepared the edition of the "Statutes of Connecticut",
published in 1808. He himself compiled the notes, made the index, and wrote the introduction.
He was one of the committee, who in 1821, revised the "Statutes of the State", and also one of
the committee appointed to prepare and superintend a new edition in 1824. In 1805, he began to
report the decisions of the Supreme Court of Errors in Connecticut, and when provision was
made by law, in 1814, for the appointment of a reporter, received that office, and retained it until
his resignation in 1853. The report of the decisions from 1802 to 1813, published by him, makes
five octavo volumes, and those from 1814-53, inclusive, twenty-one octavo volumes. He also
edited, with copious notes, about forty volumes on English law. As a deserved recognition of
these services, his Alma Mater, in 1847, conferred upon him the degree of doctor of laws.
Mr. Day's name stands connected, as vice-president or trustee, with most of the
benevolent and literary institutions of Hartford, as the Hartford Grammar school, Hartford
Female seminary, American Asylum for the education of the deaf and dumb, and Retreat for the
Insane. He was also an original member of the Connecticut Historical society, and its first
recording secretary. On the revival of the institution, in 1839, he became its president, and
retained that position for more than fifteen years.
A man of dignified presence, uncommon courtliness of manner, and great kindness of
heart, he secured alike the love, respect, and veneration of his fellow citizens. A life-like portrait
of him, taken towards the close of life, by Emmons of Norwich, Conn., adorns the wall of the
rooms of the Connecticut Historical society in Hartford. (Source: Family of Thomas Noble of

teacher, and then for nine years a farmer in Sharon, Conn. In Oct. 1766, and May 1767, he
represented Sharon in the General Assembly of Connecticut. Having completed his theological
studies under Rev. Cotton Mather Smith of Sharon, Conn., he was ordained, Jan. 31, 1770 as
pastor of the Cong. Church in New Preston, Conn., and remained in that connection until his
death. He was about six feet in height, and had a large frame, although never corpulent. He had
mild blue eyes, and his countenance was open and expressive of the benignity of his disposition.
He excelled as a pastor, and though not a fervent and animated orator, was a solemn and
impressive preacher. In ecclesiastical difficulties his advice was often sought. While pastor of
the New Preston church, he resided in that part of New Milford, Conn, which about 1782 was
annexed to the town of Washington, Conn. (Source: Family of Thomas Noble of Westfield,
