In offering to the public these records of the doings of the Selectmen and the Town Meetings of Lynn, commencing in the year 1691, the Lynn Historical Society feels that it is making available a choice bit of Americana of great value to those who are interested in Colonial history and the every- day life of the Early Settlers. Moreover, these pages are of great value to genealogists everywhere, for here appear the names of people whose descendants are now scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It goes without saying, of course, that all citizens of Lynn and the surrounding towns which were once part of Lynn will wish to read about the early days of the little farming village within those borders now live over a hundred and thirty thousand people.
To the general reader we may promise that he will find in these pages much of interest. Here is the curious spelling of the Town Clerk of Lynn in the days when dictionaries as we know them did not exist. This should please those who believe correct spelling is a much overrated virtue. Here are the details of many a boundary fight between farmers, both of whom were positive they were in the right. Here are accounts of the summary and complete manner in which the early settlers handled the poor. The reader will discover how much money and how many bushels of potatoes and corn and turnips the minister was entitled to receive for leading his flock and how much the schoolmaster received per pupil per week for teaching Latin and reading and cyphering.
The ancient ceremony of perambulating the bounds is described, we hear of the office of sealer of leather and clerk of the market and rules for the cutting of wood on the common land. Here we find ordinances governing fences and geese and clamshells and the yoking of swine, and the action of the Selectmen granting a pew in the church to Joseph Newhall on condition that he maintain the window above the pew. On February 8, 1696 the Town set the bounty upon wolves killed in Lynn and blackbirds had become such a nuisance that every householder was ordered to kill twelve.
We submit this book to the public in the firm belief that it is of unique value to anyone with an appreciation of the early days of our country.
