from Tempest: It must have been an exciting moment in October, 1786, when the Connecticut General Assembly declared that "the Northern Part of the said Town of Simsbury . . . Shall be and are here by Incorporated into and Constituted a Town by the Name of the Town of Granby & Shall Ever Here after have and injoy all the Rights Privilidges & Immunities That other Towns in this State are Legally Intitled to." Just three years earlier Great Britain had recognized its former Atlantic seaboard colonies as "free and independent states" and now the parishes of Salmon Brook and Turkey Hills seemed to have won an even more important recognition. They were no longer a backwater of Simsbury, but their own community, controlling their own affairs in their own town meeting and electing their own men to run their government.
It was in this context that Asahel Holcomb thumped the gavel at the first "town meting of the Inhabitens of Granby Legally Held at the meting House in Salmon Brook Society on the first Monday of December 1786." Their first act was to elect Judah Holcomb Jr. the town clerk, at which time Judah took up the quill and dutifully recorded the subsequent election of his brother-in-law, Captain Samuel Hays as the town's first selectman.
