The Connecticut Journal was a newspaper published in New Haven, Connecticut from 1775 to 1835 by Thomas and Samuel Green[1] as well as others.[2] The paper had various names during its existence including the Connecticut Journal and Advertiser.[3] The publishers also printed pamphlets including sermons and the "criminal confession" written by David Daggett about Joseph Mountain, an African American man executed in New Haven before a crowd of thousands of spectators. It was sold amongst the crowd and was a popular and influential treatise.

Thomas Green published several of Connecticut's earliest newspapers.[4]

In 1987 the paper was absorbed by the New Haven Register.[5]
