Doubtless there are others who belong to this family, but it is hard to place them. Records were earelessly kept in those times and having been at one time destroyed by fire it has been hard to place this family, but it has been done to the best ability of the compiler according to the scanty records found. If mistakes are detected by any conversant with faets, correction will be thankfully received either in this family or any others, as it is desirable to have every item correct if possible.

As the money was paid by Ezra Webber of Holland it is prob- able that he bought it first and then sold it to Edward Blodgett.
The above mentioned land, "about 95 acres, was situated on both sides of the road, southerly on Ephraim Bond, easter- ly on Andrew Webber, northerly on Ezra Reeves and westerly on Amasa Dealphs land."
