In sage with nauty package, from 3 to 9 I get:
1 , 3 , 11 , 61 , 507 , 7442 , 197772

So far this appears
A004108 Number of n-node unlabeled connected graphs without endpoints. 

sage code, you can run it in a browser in the cloud:


def mathar1():
	"""
	sage code
	requires optional package nauty
	"""
	for n in [ 3 .. 9]:
		cou=0
		for g in graphs.nauty_geng("%s -c -d2"%n): 
		#-c means connected, -d \delta=2
			cou += 1
		print cou,",",
		sys.stdout.flush()
