TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FITCHBURG.
Gentlemen: The undersigned petition your Honorable Body, and respectfully represent that the preservation of the records of the town of Fitchburg, prior to its incor- poration as a city, and also such records as may be obtainable of the town of Lunenburg and its early pro- prietors, prior to the formation of the town of Fitchburg, is a matter of great importance; and therefore they respectfully pray that the city council of the city of Fitch- burg may take such measures as shall be deemed expedi- ent to secure and preserve an additional copy or copies of said records, to be deposited in such fire-proof situation, other than the city hall, as may be authorized by your council.

The joint standing committee on education, to whom was referred the petition of the Fitchburg Historical Society, relative to the preservation of early records of Fitchburg, and so much of Lunenburg as relates to Fitch- burg, have attended to the business committed to them, and present the following report, and would recommend the adoption of the following order :
ORDERED, That the sum of $500 (five hundred dol- lars) be, and the same hereby is, appropriated for the purpose of copying and printing the early records of the town of Fitchburg prior to its incorporation as a city, and so much of the records of the town of Lunenburg as pertains to Fitchburg prior to its separation from Lunen- burg, the work to be done under the supervision of the city clerk, who shall have authority to employ such assistance as he may need in doing the work, the amount to be charged to account of incidentals.

CITY CLERK'S OFFICE,
FITCHBURG, MASS., Nov. 1, 1895.
In compliance with the preceding vote, I immediately corresponded with the Selectmen and Town Clerk of Lunenburg, with a view to obtain the books contain- ing the earlier records of the town, viz .: What was embraced between the years 1728 and 1764, or previous to the incorporation of Fitchburg as a town.
The value of these records cannot be estimated in dol- lars and cents, and the wisdom of the city council in taking measures to preserve them will become apparent as time advances.
It is intended that the following pages shall be an exact transcript of the original record, and every portion of the original is copied as far as possible.
The pagination of the original volumes is inserted in our text in brackets.
After considerable search and diligent inquiry, I suc- ceeded in securing the book containing the proprietors' records. As there is so much matter, I have concluded to have them printed in a separate book, and conse- quently it will appear later.
These old records contain much information as to the names and possessions of the first settlers, together with an accurate idea of the power exercised by the old town governments, and furnishes much food for the student of social science.
This work was undertaken not in the interest of the historian, so much as for the use of the city; for its more familiar acquaintance with, and its surer preserva- tion of, its own annals, and the bringing together in one place of so much of the Lunenburg records as are con- nected with, and are a part of, this city.
The idea of copying and printing the old records originated with the Fitchburg Historical Society and was
vi
Introduction.
urged by their secretary, James F. D. Garfield, to whom I am indebted for many suggestions and references. Many cities and towns are having the same work done, and while it may take some time to do it and do it well, the value of the copy will be enhanced by having it accu- rately done.
The vital statistics in this book have been copied from a volume owned by the town of Lunenburg, which was carefully transcribed by John R. Rollins in or about 1849. Minutes have been noted down of such sugges- tions as he has made. These vital statistics have not been copied beyond 1764, except to complete the record of families, and to add such vital statistics as belonged in Fitchburg and were not recorded here. In the Lunen- burg records these are included in the same volume with the town records. In the Fitchburg records, to be pub- lished later, they may be separated.
It is to be hoped that the work of copying the remaining records will continue, and that soon the time will come when all the vital statistics will be printed each year.
I desire to express my appreciation to Selectmen Hil- dreth and Jones and Town Clerk Stillman Stone of Lunenburg, for the many courtesies extended to me.
