II. - COLLEGE GRADUATES FROM SANBORNTON.
The following is a list of twenty-two college graduates from San- bornton or Tilton (including two expectant graduntes), as per " Sum- mary. " on p. xiv, in Vol. II. To these are added four others. hailing from the neighboring towns of Franklin and Northfield, to whom San- bornton has at least a genealogical claim. This number, it is thought, comprises very nearly or quite all the college graduates who ever went directly from this town. The college and the year of graduation are appended to each name. On this list those deceased are marked with an asterisk (*).

TOWN OFFICERS.
THE six first-named (higher) officers are here given in full, both for Sanbornton and Tiltou, from the organization of the old town to the present (1882). We have also appended complete lists of the twenty-two minor officers in town down to the year 1800, inclusive," - partly as a matter of curiosity, to inform what the otlices were ; partly as a matter of enumeration, to show the names of leading citi- zens of town, or who were living here in the earlier years, - and the approximate times of their moving in, or coming upon the scene of action. The spelling is usually that first found upon the records ; often varying from the more common and that afterwards found. Titles are ouly added or prefixed to proper names as employed on the records. The early town clerks were evidently not uniform in their practice, - giving these titles in some instances, withholding them in others, and varying them with the same individual fromn year to year. The same remark applies to State and county officers. The annual meeting was, by State law, held on the last Tuesday of March, until 1795, when the day was changed to the second Tuesday, and thus continued. Iu 1878 the State and county officers, including town representatives, were, for the first time, elected biennially in November. It is designed in all the town officer lists that no individual should appear more than once under the same office : the name of each citizen being followed (1) by the first and last years of his election to that office ; and (2) by the total number of times elected for annual terms of service (if not specified to the contrary) during the intervening years. The first
* These lists, as originally made out, were continued till after the formation of the town of Franklin (1828 and 1829), and were designed to be here printed in full, as promised in the " Prospectus"; but to avoid the excessive burdening of this vol- ume with mere catalogues of names, and to make the index work less laborious, the lists will be abridged as above stated, though the total number of those holding each otlice to the later date will be added, and notes will be made of those individuals who served longest, according to the original list, - i. e., prior to the year 1829.

NoTE. - It appears that of the above forty-seven moderators, the two elected the greatest number of consecutive years, at the annual March meeting, were Nathan Taylor (1807) and David C. Clough (1866). At the first ballot, in 1859, Jeremiah C. Tilton and William T. Cass had each three hundred and ifty-one votes. In 1860, Mr. Cass was elected over Mr. I'llton by three majority, - three hundred and seventy-six votes to three hundred and seventy- three, or a total of seven hundred and forty-nine, the largest vote ever cast for moderator.

For 1823, also, no name Is given on the records; and 1832 and 1833, no representatives were chosen, or if so, not recorded.

III. - SELECTMIEN OF THE TOWN.
We find two distinct series of boards of selectmen; first, upon the records of the proprietors, who seem carly to have adopted the form of a town organi- zation, probably to encourage settlement. For some reason the last two of their four elections were made after the Incorporation of the town, so that virtually there were two sets of selectmen for a few years. The proprietors' boards were chletly designed as "assessors " to manage their own financial con- cerns. We give the first board of each of these two series in full (three indi- viduals) ; afterwards, as with other town officers, only the names for each year of those that had not been previously elected. First series (proprietors') : Jethro Person (Capt. ), Edward Taylor (Dea.), and Josinh Robinson (Capt. ), April 21, 1763 (the last, ulso, 1770-74) ; sume re-elected as "assessors," March 27, 1765; Joseph Moit (Capt.), Joseph Clarke, June 25, 1770; David Fogg (Left.), Abraham Sanborn (Left.), June 22, 1774.

NOTE. - No records of the first town meeting having been preserved, the names of the first board of selectmen are ouly gathered from the " Returns of Rouds " in 1770, and they are supposed to have been elected in March or April of that year. All the others were chosen at the annual meetings in March, except for 1869, when Amos H. Jones, " having been disqualified during the year by the division of the town, sent in lils resignation, July 1, as selectman and treasurer, and Jonathan M. Taylor was elected in his place, July 21." The Board of 1771 consisted of five individuals, - all others of three. The Board of 1833 were elected on the sixth ballot. Of the foregoing one hundred and fifty-three, Capt. William Chase ( 1779) served the town the highest number of years, - eleven in all, nine consecutively. Josiah Emery, Esq. (1778), Col. Stephen Gale (1806), and Capt. Joseph Woodman (1811) stand next upon the list, - ten years each.

At other times, before and since, the office was chictly filled by the first selectman, till the new Constitution of 1878 came in force.

VI. - SCHOOL COMMITTEES.
Earlier in the history of the town, the schools had been visited by the cler- gymen, as a part of their parish work. The first Board of a School Commit- tee was elected by ballot in 1809, as below : first appointed by the selectmen in 1828, with certitleates in the town books, as per act of Legislature, July 6, 1827, " to examine instructors of schools "; or as elsewhere stated ( 1836), " to examine schoolinasters and schoolmistresses." Since then they have oftener been appointed; though several times, and more generally of late years, they have been chosen with other town officers, at the annual March meeting.

NOTE. - There is no evidence of any election between the years 1819 and 1825 inclusive. Father Bodwell seems to have served by fur the greatest number of years as School Committee, - thirty-one in all! Dr. Carr is next highest, - fourteen years. In 1853, the office was for the first time filed by one individual, Benjamin A. Rogers ; but his health failing, the winter schools were inspected by Mr. Farmer. Theuceforward till 1858, one ouly was appointed, with the exception of the year 1855. The board consisted of two persons in 1859 (only) ; und in 1860, three were elected by ballot to serve respectively one, two, and three years : so that it was afterwards filled by the election or re-election of one incumbent for each year, till the division of the town in 1869. After that the work of School Committee each year was mostly done by one person till 1879, when three were again proposed and women were for the first time elected to this offlec. Total number above reported, sixty-two.
VII. - SURVEYORS OF HIGHWAYS AND FENCES.
This designation was employed till 1794, when the offlee was divided, and the list continues as " Surveyors of Highways " till after the formation of the town of Franklin (1828). The old town, then, contrary to what would nat- urally be expected, seems to have culurged the number of its road districts. The first board consisted of two individuals; the second year six persons were elected; the fifth your nine, and so on, gradually increasing to twenty- six in 1788; thirty-four in 1792-94; forty-seven in 1807-9; fifty-nine in 1527; and sixty-one in 1828!
