• 1704 - Traveler Observes Ball-Playing in CT 1704.1 Madame Knight, 'in her inimitable journal of her ride from Boston to New York in 1704, speaks of ball-playing in Connecticut.' 'The Game of Wicket and Some Old-Time Wicket Players,' in George Dudley Seymour, Papers and Addresses of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut, Volume II of the Proceedings of the Society, [n. P., 1909.] page 284. Submitted by John Thorn, 7/11/04. John notes 9/3/2005 that Seymour observes that Madame Knight does not specifically name the sport as wicket, but he excludes cricket as a possibility because cricket was not then known to have been played in America before 1725; however, John adds, we now have a cricket reference in Virginia from 1709.

They are more than eighty years older than the first official Laws of Cricket, published in 1789.' The ensuing text calls for the 4-ball over, unregulated runner and fielder interference, and has no rule to keep a batsman from deflecting bowled balls with his body., accessed 10/2/02.
