Error on p. 184 : Major Ebenezer McIntosh's service of eighteen years on the standing committee of the First Parish was the fourth, not the third, in length of time in the annals of the parish. Deacon Isaac Shepard served twenty-one years. (See p. 213.)


P. 216. The Metcalf house is said to have been taken down by Otis Sawyer in 1844. It was built by Thomas Metcalf, and was the home of his son, Michael, and later of the Harris family (see Michael Harris, p. 214). Ensign Michael Harris was a grandson of Thomas Metcalf named above.
