In NEW LONDON until May session, 1726; then in WINDHAM until May session,
1747: then in PLAINFIELD until June 4, 1830; then in VOLUNTOWN until April
3, 1889; since then in Norwich.

List of Probate Districts
VOLUNTOWN - Included Voluntown.
Cinstituted June 4, 1830 form PLAINFIELD. VOLUNTOWN was annexed to
NORWICH april 3, 1889. The records of VOLUNTOWN are in NORWICH.

Don't know if this really explains anything, but Plainfield is in WINDHAM
County.
