Lot of 2 Tax Warrants issued by the Pay-Table Office in Hartford to Ralph Pomeroy and to Norwalk Committee of Supplies . The Pay-Table (also known as the Committee of Four) managed Connecticut’s military finances during the RevolutionaryWar. Financing the Revolution laid a heavy burden upon each colony, especially those which balked at levying taxes. In order to meet immediate needs, such as wages, the colonies relied upon wealthy revolutionists, foreign loans, and taxes and gifts from abroad. Issuing notes such as these was only a temporary solution. Eleazer Wales was graduate of Yale and Presbyterian Minister who also later served as a Justice of the Peace in Hartford. He remained involved in state politics, acting as State Controller after the war.

When Wolcott died in 1833 in New York City, he was the last surviving cabinet member of the Washington administration. William Moseley (1755- 1824) later would serve in the Connecticut state senate, while Eleazer Wales was another member of the Pay-Table.
