From Protoball Entry #1860.56 – Three Hartford CT Base Ball Clubs on the Move
The Alligator, Rough and Ready, and Independent Base Ball Clubs announced meetings on a late October day. Hartford Daily Courant, October 27, 1860. Accessed via subscription search, May 21, 2009.
We do not know if these clubs played by Association rules.
Query: Hartford was wicket country; but do we know of any earlier base ball clubs in the area?
