PREFACE.
This volume of marriage records completes the publication of the Woburn Records of Births, Deaths and Marriages from 1640 to Jan. 1, 1873. Its arrangement corresponds with that adopted in the previous volumes of Births and Deaths, the surnames being arranged alphabetically, and, under the respective surnames, the Christian names are grouped chronologically. Each marriage record appears twice : once under the name of the man and again under that of the woman. The adoption of this plan renders any --- index unnecessary, thereby saving to the reader the time and lat r sually involved in turning from index to subject matter, and avoiding the anger of ·error and omission to which every index is exposed.
In 1857, the Legislature of Massachusetts passed the following law : -
"The clerk of every city and town in this Commonwealth, shall make a certified copy of the record of all marriages, recorded in the books of said city or town, where either or both of the parties were resident in any other town in the Commonwealth at the time of said marriage; and he shall also, as far as the same is practicable, make a like copy of all such marriages recorded in any parish records, or in any records kept by any clergyman or magistrate within said town; and the said clerk shall transmit said certified copies to the clerk of the city or town in which such party or parties were resident at the time of said marriage."
This law applied only to marriages solemnized prior to the year 1800. In accordance with its provisions there were transmitted to the town clerk of Woburn, records of over three hundred marriages solemnized in other munic- ipalities in this Commonwealth, in which one or both of the contracting parties were residents of Woburn. These marriages are included in this publication ; and, in each instance, the name of the town or city where the marriage occurred is also given. I have also inserted the record of all marriages found in the first volume of the Second Parish Church Records (Burlington) covering the period from 1735 down to 1828.
Furthermore, I have incorporated into this volume, by way of foot-notes, . a few extracts taken from the Middlesex County Court Records. These records contain a great deal of interesting and hitherto unknown facts about the early settlers of Woburn, and shed new light on their life and their customs, their faults and their virtues. The greater portion of the material thus obtained could not, with propriety, be printed in this work and has been reserved for future use. I may state that my researches in this direc- tion have proved, among other things, that the first volume of the Woburn Records is wholly in the handwriting of Major William Johnson, the second

PREFACE.
town clerk of Woburn, and is, therefore, prior to 1672, a copied record. The records kept by his father, Capt. Edward Johnson, the first town clerk, certified extracts of which can be found among the court files at Cambridge, are not in all cases identical with the existing town record. Moreover, the chirography of Capt. Johnson does not correspond with that to be found in our first volume of town records. As an illustration of the handwriting of father and son I have added at the end of this Preface fac-simile reproduc- tions of two papers discovered among the Middlesex court files. A compar- ison of these fac-similes with the writing in the first volume of the Woburn Records, or with the fac-simile specimen of the town records printed in Poole's edition of " Johnson's Wonder-Working Providence," will convince any one of the truth of the above statement as to the authorship of our first volume of records. Mr. William R. Cutter was the first person to suspect that this volume of records was copied, and recent discoveries have fully sustained him in the opinions expressed in "The Woburn Journal," March 8, 1889.
