TitleConstables
DescriptionA parish officer responsible primarily for keeping peace in the parish. In some parishes the constable was elected by manor courts until 1842 after which time they were appointed by the vestry.

Duties often overlapped with or were discharged by the churchwardens and overseers and so accounts were often mixed together.
