Flagon and Trencher Record Extraction Project Guidelines -- Version 1.0 25 June 2005 Our goal is to produce a compendium of taverner information in brief and easily accessible form. Thus one could scan the alphabetical entries and quickly find any person of interest. The reference will guide the searcher to more detailed information. The time period of interest is from the first settling of the area that later became the original 13 States up to 4 July 1776. Who is a taverner? By strictest definition: one who was duly licensed to keep a tavern, ordinary or inn. What do we require for the project? Clear, reliable evidence of a taverner’s service. Many original records have been lost, so absent any record of the official licensing, evidence of continued operation is acceptable. Also, the designation of "inn holder," "taverner," and similar wording in a will or other legal document will suffice. Selling brandy to the Indians or other clandestine operation does not qualify; nor does a vocation of brewing, malting, etc. The information provided for each entry should be as follows: Name of Taverner, Location of Tavern, date of license, reference to proof of service. If the taverner has been "established" by the F&T application process, then insert "(ET)" after the name. Sample Entry St. John (Sention, Sension), Matthias (ET), Norwalk, CT, lic. 17 Dec 1678. Edwin Hall, The Ancient Historical Records of Norwalk, Conn. (Norwalk: 1847, repr. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1997), 70. NOTE: Show the date in the format found in the record. Do not guess what "8: 5 mo: 1639" or "x: 2 mo: 1637" might mean. If submitting your information electronically, please do so in Rich Text Format (.rtf ) or as a plain text file (.txt). DO NOT send Adobe Acrobat files, Page Maker files or other files that are proprietary to one system. If submitting your information by postal mail, each item must include the full title page along with the information page. The full title page has the date and place of publication (sometimes found on the reverse of the title page). Please underline material of interest with a colored pen or pencil; do NOT use a highlighter. (Highlighter ink darkens as it ages.) Citation Formats The "best" source for the information is preferred. Primary sources (court documents) are better than secondary sources (magazine articles or family histories). Book * Name of author [if more than two authors, indicate others by et al. after first author] * Full Title and Subtitle of book, separated by a colon ( : ) even if not shown that way * Name of editor, compiler or translator, if any * Number or name of edition, if other than the first * Name of series in which the book appears, if any, with volume or number in the series * Facts of publication, consisting of place of publication, name of publishing agency and date published. Where applicable, include LDS FHL Microform number (if known) or publication on CD (if known). * Page number(s) of the specific citation [do not use page, p. or pp. ahead of the number] Periodicals * Name of author [same considerations as for books] * Title of article enclosed with double quotation marks * Title of periodical [in italics] * Volume or issue number (or both) * Publication date * Page number [do not use page, p. or pp.] Newspapers Citation form is similar to periodicals, except the name of the paper and the date are usually sufficient. If the paper’s name does not include the city of publication, please add it. If the city is not widely known, please add the state in parentheses.
