PREFACE.


The second volume of the Plymouth Records is published by authority of a vote of the Town of Plymouth, passed at its annual meeting held on the 17th of March, 1890 :


" That the committee on the publication of the Town Records be authorized to continue the publication through a second volume, and as much farther as they think expedient until other- wise ordered by the Town."


The first volume of three hundred and thirty-six pages included the first volume of the original records and ninety-eight pages of the second, and closed with the record of the town meeting held May 21st, 1705. The present volume of three hundred and fifty- two pages includes the remainder of the second volume of the original records, and one hundred and four pages of the third. Its contents are devoted chiefly to records of meetings, grants of land, the laying out of streets, and to votes relating to the pru- dential affairs of the town.


The first volume closed with records made by Elder Thomas Faunee, to whom reference was made in the introduction to that volume. He held the office of town clerk until the 2d of March,

1723-4, when at the age of 77 he was superceded by John Dyer. after a service of thirty-nine years.


John Dyer served from March 2d, 1723-4, until March 3d, 1739-40, with the exception of the year beginning March 1, 1732-3, during which the office of clerk was held by Gershom Foster. Mr. Dyer, born in 1671, was probably the son of John Dyer of Weymouth. He came to Plymouth in 1698, and in that year bought of William Bradford, the son of Governor Bradford, the lot of land on the southeasterly side of Leyden Street, on which the house with a brick end stands opposite the Universalist Church. The lot is described in the deed as running on the street northeasterly " as far as the northeasterly corner of the old store house which formerly stood on the lot." By this deed the precise location is defined of probably one of the earliest structures of the Colony. Mr. Dyer taught school in Plymouth during a few months in the year 1700, and became a prominent and valuable citizen. He was a member of the board of select- men from 1709 to 1734 inclusive, town treasurer from 1701 to 1732, and occasionally served as moderator at town meetings.


Gershom Foster was chosen clerk March 1, 1732-3, and served one year. He was the son of John and Hannah (Stetson) Foster, and was born in 1709. At the age of twenty-four he was chosen clerk, and at the same time served as town treasurer.


Edward Winslow was chosen town elerk March 3, 1739-40, and held office until January, 1741-2. He was subsequently a member of the board of selectmen from 1757 to 1765 inclusive, town treasurer in 1760, and occasionally a moderator. He was a son of Isaac, grandson of Josiah, and great grandson of Edward Winslow, of the Mayflower. General John Winslow was his brother. Before the revolution he held the office of collector of Plymouth, register of wills, and clerk of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas. As a loyalist. be was deprived of his offices in 1775. and for several years afterwards lived in reduced circum-

stanees in the house on North Street, built by him, and now known as the Winslow House. In December, 1781, he was permitted to go to New York, and reached the British garrison there with a part of his family, the remainder afterwards joining him. Sir Henry Clinton allowed him a pension of two hundred pounds per annum, with rations and fuel, and on the 30th of August, 1783, he embarked for Halifax, with wife and daughters and three black servants, where he arrived on the 14th of September, and died in 1785. His estate in Plymouth, valued at fifteen hundred pounds, was taken in 1782, on executions by the town of Plymouth, Thomas Davis, William Thomas, Oakes Angier, and John Rowe, of Gloucester, and sold by them by deeds, dated in 1782, 1789, 1790, and 1791, to Thomas Jackson. His son Edward, born in 1746, graduated at Harvard in 1765, and besides the office of naval officer of Plymouth, held jointly with his father the offices of clerk of the court and register of wills. A loyalist, also, he joined the British in Boston and went to Lexington with Lord Perey on the memorable 19th of April. He was appointed by General Gage collector of Boston and register of wills for Suffolk County. At the evacution of Boston he went to Halifax, and was there appointed by Sir William Howe secre- tary to the board of general officers, with Lord Perey president, for the distribution of donations to the troops. He afterwards returned to New York, and was appointed muster master general of the British forces, and remained in America in that capacity during the war. After the declaration of peace he joined his father in Halifax, where he remained until after the death of his father in 1785, when he removed to Frederickton, New Brunswick, and died in 1815.


Of Samuel Bartlett, who held the office of town clerk from January, 1741-2, until March, 1766, little is known, except that he was born in 1688, and was the son of Benjamin, and grandson of Robert Bartlett, who came in the Ann in 1623. His son Samuel, was an enterprising merchant in Plymouth many years,

and grandfather of Capt. Joseph Bartlett, whom older readers will remember as one of Plymouth's most active and enter- prising citizens.
