Vol. I, Land Records is a book of 373 pages (size 7" x II1/4") bound in sheepskin covers and entitled "Salisbury First Book of R[ ] begun Nov. 9, 1741." Upon the first leaf appears a copy of the act incorporating the town in 1741. Pages I-27 inclusive, record Town Votes from November, 1741-April, 1745. Pages 28-31 inclusive, 37-349 inclusive, page 356 and pages 358-366 inclusive, contain land conveyances. Pages 32-36 inclu- sive, give the "Grand Lists" of ratable property for the years 1742-44 inclusive. Pages 350-355 inclusive, give records of births and page 357 gives both birth and marriage records, all of which vital records were published in Vol. I, "Collections." Pages 367- 373 give lists of "ear-marks,"-crude designs assigned to indi- viduals for marking their livestock. As there was but little fencing of land in the early days, "beef critters" and other stock habitually ranged the Commons and highways and perma- nent marks of this kind were necessary for purposes of identi- fication.
