FITCHBURG, MASS., April, 1897.
Previous to the incorporation of this town, under the name of Fitchburg, in 1764, it formed a part of Lu- nenburg.
To begin, then, at the beginning, and acquire a knowledge of our origin, it is necessary to search into the early records of Lunenburg, in the transactions and events of which town the people who inhabited what is now Fitchburg had an equal interest and an equal share.
In Whitney's "History of Worcester County," the account of Lunenburg commences as follows :
"On the 4th of November, 1719, the General Court, at the request of a number of gentlemen, made a grant to them of this territory for a valuable consideration," etc. Who these "gentlemen" were is not known, but it is pre- sumed they were among those whose names are preserved in the proprietors' books as the earliest settlers. The " valuable consideration" above mentioned will be made known by the terms of the grant.
Furthermore, this order, or grant of the General Court, is of great importance, for it is not only the foundation of our municipal rights, but it is the basis upon which rest all the titles to real estate in this town and Lunenburg. An exact copy of the original grant here referred to is to be found on page 7 of "The Early Records of the Town of Lunenburg," a book previously published by this city.
These two townships were designated by the commit- tee appointed to allot and grant them out as the north and south townships. The former was afterwards incor- porated by the name of Townsend, in the county of Mid- dlesex. The south township included the present towns of Lunenburg, Fitchburg and a portion of Ashby.
The work of copying these "Proprietors' Records"
vi
Introduction.
has been performed by Miss Lucy A. Hayward, assisted by Miss Edith L. Davis.
The work was necessarily somewhat delayed on ac- count of the difficulty in translating the writing, some of which is very nearly obliterated.
In this connection I desire to extend my sincere thanks to Mrs. George W. Stone of Boston, Mass., for having rendered the cause much assistance by copying and for- warding to me the petition and bill to confirm the titles of land in Lunenburg and Fitchburg. I give these in full for the benefit of all who may be interested.
What this volume may lack in interest will be atoned for by bearing in mind that the names here recorded and the lots described are those of the original settlers of Lunenburg and Fitchburg. As such it will be a valuable companion book for "The Early Records of the Town of Lunenburg."
Among the names of the original settlers we find the name of Walter Beath, which in the other book, "The Early Records," was given as Walter Bees. The last let- ter was without doubt meant for an "f," being mis- taken for an old-fashioned "s," and the Beef was meant for Beath, written as it sounded to the clerk.
The use of both kinds of the letter "s" in the same book and at the same time is liable to be confusing unless great care is exercised.
We believe that this book will be found to be of much service as a reference book to all persons interested in ancient records, and as showing the great amount of labor required of the early settlers in opening up this ter- ritory for civilization.
I think that all who take the trouble to read it will realize in a small degree the careful work required to copy it.

Province of the 1 Massachusetts Bay f
To liis Excellency Thomas Hutch- inson Esq. Captain General and Governor in chief The Honble his .Majesty's Council and Honble House of Representatives of the Province aforesaid in General Court assembled.
John Taylor Representative of Lunenbourg and Fitchbourg, for and in the behalf of said Towns Humbly Sheweth,
That the Great and General Court or Assembly of said Province did on the fourth day of No- vember 1719, Grant a Township called Turkey Hills lying South of North Town.
That the said Great and General Court did on the Seventh day of December 1719 appoint and fully Impower William Tayor, Samuel Thaxter, Francis Fullam Esqr. Capt. John Sheple, and Mr. Benjamin Whittemore a Com- mittee to allot and grant out the Lands in said New Township called Turkey hills - and to make return of their proceedings.
That said Comtee did afterwards agreable to the order of said Court allot and grant out said New Township called Turkey hills - The said Comtee also transfered Sixty three House lotts in said Township now called Lu- nenburg and Fitchburg, and made return of their proceed- ings into the Secretary's office as appears from the Pro- prietors Book under the Committees own hand.
That the Return of some part of said Comtees proceed- ings are not now to be found in said Secretary's office, and are Supposed to have been consumed by Fire when the Court house was burnt, whereby the property of some Hundreds of the good People of this Province is rendered in some measure precarious, as they have Im- proved, Sold, and wholly conducted themselves by the

Petition to General Court.
Copy of said Comtees proceedings as they left the same in the hands of said Proprietors Clerk and unless something further is done by this Great and General Court, to Con- firm & establish the proceedings of the Comtee aforesaid agreable to their return it is greatly feared that in some future time not only the Inhabitants of said Towns but many others more remotely concerned may be led into very great difficulties & expences.
Your pet! therefore in behalf of said Towns most hum- bly prays your Excellency and honors would be pleased to take their case into your wise and serious consider- ation, and that you would be pleased to Confirm and Establish the Transfers made by the General Courts Committee aforesaid and all other their proceedings respecting said Township called Turkey hills, now called Lunenburg & Fitchburg; or otherwise grant relief in such way and manner as your Excellency and honors in your known goodness shall seem meet.
And as in duty bound shall ever pray &c. JOHN TAYLOR in the behalf of the Towns of Lunenburg & Fitchburg. Lunenburg 20th of June 1772.

of their Proceedings into the Secretarys office as appears by the Return of the Committee under their own hands on the Proprietors Book But the Plan of Each Lot with the then possessors & Proprietors Names that had the Land Confirmed to them is not to be now found in the Secretarys office nor Elsewhere but is supposed to be Burnt among the files when the Late Court House in Boston was Consumed by fire by which means the Property of Some Hundreds of the Good People of this Province is Rendered Precarious as the Same Lands have been Brought too out of a State of Nature and been Improved between forty & fifty years and have Passed by Sales through a Great Number of hands So that without the Interposition of this Court the Present Possessors and others were in Danger of the Gratest Difficulties, Distresses and Losses Relative to their Properties in Said Towns.
For the Preventing of which
Be it Enacted by the Governor Council and House of Representatives that Said Committed Proceedings in Alloting out and Granting Said Lands in Said Newtownship now Lunenburge & Fitchburge with the Records and Transfers of Lots in Said Towns which were Delivered up to said Proprietors by order of the General Court be and are hereby Confirmed with the said Proprietors proceedings thereon Ever Since and are hereby made valid in Law to all Intents and Purposes whatsoever.
