CORRECTIONS.
PAGE 108 .- DEA. JOHN BURNHAM was the ancester of a part only of the Burn- hams in Essex. To his son JOHN, Jr., were born Dea. John, 2d, (father of John, Samuel, Jeremiah and Nehemiah), Thomas, (father of Francis, [whose sons were Francis and Nathan,] and of Dea. Thomas), Jonathan and Robert. To his other son, JOSIAH, were born Josiah, 2d, (father of Josiah, 3d, William and Abraham), Jacob and Ebenezer.
The rest of the Burnhams are descended from a brother of Dea. John, Ist, named THOMAS, who settled and lived in Ipswich, and whose son John removed to Chebaceo. To this JOIN were born John, Thomas, (father of Thomas, [from whom was Winthrop B.,] Jeremiah, Lieut. Nathan, Caleb and Stephen), Jacob, Capt. Jonathan, (father of Jonathan, Jr .; and of Francis, whose sons were Capt. Nathaniel, Ebenezer and Jona- than, 3d), and David, (father of David, Jr., Westley, Ist, and William).
According to R. II. Burnham, Esq., author of the History of the Burnham Family, about to be published, Dea. John, Ist, and Thomas, Ist, were sons of Robert and Mary Andrews Burnham of Norwich, Norfolk Co., England, and sailed for this country in charge of their maternal uncle, Capt. Andrews, commander of the vessel Angel Gabriel. [See p. 23 of this History].

CORRECTIONS.
PAGE 119 .- Dea. Low was the son of Thomas, the first settler, (see p. 45), d. Sept. 8, 1677, and grandson of Capt. John Low, commander of the ship Ambrose, and Rear Admiral of a fleet of twelve ships, which sailed from England for Salem in April, 1630. To Dea. Thomas' son Samuel, were born Samuel, Asa and Daniel, (d. 1824, aged 78).
PAGE 130 .- The name William Burnham should be omitted.
PAGE 148 .- The date of Dea. John Choate's death should be July 17; and the date of his birth, June 15, 1661.
PAGE 168 .- The year of Dea. Choate's death should be 1733; and the age of Dea. Seth Story, 86, (according to Felt's History).
PAGE 179, 180 .- For Col. Bayley, read Col. Bagley.
PAGE 200 .- The date of Dea. John Andrews' death in the Parish records, is No- vember, 1750; in the printed church covenant, March 16, 1750.
PAGE 206 .- Israel Andrews, (son of James Andrews, soldier at Bunker's Hill,) is still living and more than 90 years of age.
PAGE 226 .- Maj. Caleb Low was a brother of Thomas, (father of Jeremiah, Caleb, David, Thomas, Jonathan, Col. Joshua, Abigail, Josiah and Polly).
PAGE 236 .- There is no record of the election of Dea. Seth Story, 2d, to the office of Elder. Yet in a record of deaths of that day is the following: "Dea. Seth Story, afterwards Elder, died Aug. 11, 1786, aged 93."
According to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of the first settlers of New Eng- land, (Boston, 1862,) William Story, the father of Dea. Seth, 1st, was a native of Norwich, Norfolk Co., England, and embarked for this country, April 8, 1637, at the age of 23. He was a carpenter. Jesse, the son of Dea. Zechariah was the father of Jesse, Jr., Parker and Ephraim. The sons of Dea. Seth, 2d, were John and Ebenezer, (father of Jonathan).
Most of the Storys, however, are descended from Andrew, (pp. 40 and 41), who was probably a brother of William. The earliest ancester now known of one branch, was JACOB STORY. To his son JACOB, 2D, were born Maj. Andrew, Michael, Jacob, 3d, (father of Andrew, Michael, Abel, Epes, Enoch and Noah), Elisha, (father of Elisha), and Jonathan, (father of Dr. Asa, Col. David, Esq., Jonathan and Perkins). To his son STEPHEN were born Stephen, (father of John, Seth, Stephen and Daniel), Esquire David and Daniel. To still a third branch belonged William Story, whose sons were Master Joseph, William and Jonathan.
PAGE 246 .- Rev. Mr. Cleaveland received his degree of A. B. from Yale College in 1763, and the same year the honorary degree of A. M. from the same Institution. The latter degree was also conferred on him by Dartmouth College, in 1782.
