For verbatim copies of muster rolls see the Year-book of the Society of Colonial Wars in Massachusetts, 1899, pp. 80, 92-94.
In addition to the sources of information named in my lists published in the New England Historical and Genealog- ical Register for January and April, 1899, the following publications contain matter relative to Needham : John W. Barber's Massachusetts Historical Collections, 1848, have a gazetteer notice, and it is said that the Boston Magazine, 1785, gave an account of Needham. As I have seen only the copy of this magazine at the Boston Athenæum, which copy is apparently imperfect and contains no special mention of Needham, I can not tell what is referred to, but suppose it to be merely a gazetteer notice like that of Medfield and

" Yet ev'n these bones from insult to protect Some frail memorial still erected nigh,
With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture decked, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.
"Their name, their years, spelt by the unletter'd Muse, The place of fame and elegy supply ;
And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die."
