The plantation life of Howard's Gore covered a period of about thirty years. During those years, the affairs of the plantation appear to have been conducted with great economy and marked! ability. The records were generally carefully kept, and two of the- town clerks, namely, Asa Howard and Ezra Smith, must have been of superior ability and well educated. Their hand-writing is plain and systematic, and their orthography perfect. In two years after the close of the records here given, the plantation of Howard's Gore lost its identity by being merged into the town of Hanover. The persons whose names have herein been most conspicuous, have long since been gathered to their fathers, and their sons and grandsons. have succeeded them in town affairs. The settlers who cleared the: land have left to their posterity a goodly heritage.
The act incorporating the town of Hanover was approved by the Governor, February 14, 1843. The warrant for the first meeting was issued by Reuben B. Foster, Esq., to Gardiner G. Hoyt. The meeting was held at the school house near Howe's mills, on the twenty-second day of March, 1843. Reuben B. Foster was chosen moderator, Gardiner G. Hoyt, clerk, Spencer Drake, Adam Willis: and Phineas H. Howe, selectmen, and Eli Howe, treasurer. An adjourned meeting was held April third, when Joel Howe was. chosen agent, Phineas H. Howe, collector, Reuben B. Foster, Phineas H. Howe and Bela Williams, school committee, Bela Wil- liams and Moses W. Kimball, tythingmen, Enoch Bartlett, Elijah. Russell and Orson Powers, field-drivers, Stephen Bartlett, Adam Willis, Milton Roberts and Solomon J. Haywood, road-surveyors.

FAMILY STATISTICS,
O part of the contents of this volume has been given more painstaking care than the department upon which we now enter, and yet it is far from satisfactory. Some parts of it are defective, some merely fragmentary, while many families are omitted for lack of information. It is also probable that more or less errors will be found, for a large proportion of the records are from the town clerk's books, where more or less errors, especially in dates, may always be expected. Soon after the municipal election of eighteen hundred ninety-one, the town clerk sent to the compiler of this volume, the name of every person contained on the check list, and to each name was sent a blank to be filled out and returned, and another blank explaining what was desired. About five hundred blanks were so sent out, and less than two hundred were filled out and returned. There may be those who from some cause did not receive the blank, and who, had they received it would have made the desired return, and such cases, if any there are, are to be regretted. But those who did receive the blank and paid no atten- tion to it, are certainly debarred from making any complaint, if their family records do not appear. In some cases, a second blank was sent, and in others, letters were written, and all to no purpose. Imperfect as they are, these records will be found of great interest, and second in importance to no other part of the volume. No other part of the book will be as often consulted, and, in view of the fact that many Bethel families do not appear here, perhaps no part will be more frequently disappointing. The compiler, however, has the satisfaction of feeling that he has resorted to all ordinary means for perfecting these records, and the fact that they are incomplete is in nowise his fault.
