MARRIAGES.
The following list of the marriages is taken from the records in the office of the town clerk. It will be noticed that some marriages are recorded that took place prior to the settlement. The peculiar and uncertain orthography will also be noticed. It seemed best to make the copy a literal following of the original, if for no other reason than that it would relieve the writer of all responsibility in the matter. Originality in spelling should receive more encourage- ment, and the man who can spell his father's name " Hoide," which that father has spelled "Hyde " for fifty years before him, and without the excuse of Celtic blood in his veins, should not have his feelings lacerated by criticism.
It is unfortunate that this record is greatly lessened in value by the loss of a book containing the marriages for 34 years, and in- cluding the period between 1786 and 1820, in regard to which so many now living are greatly interested.
