V. Quotation-marks after a death always indicate the epituph taken from the gravestone of the individual buried in Sanbornton, unless otherwise stated.

VI. Figures after "ac." indicate the years of age ; or, connected with dashes, thus, " 1-1-17" (p. 3 [29]), the years, months, and days, unless otherwise specified.

VII. It is not claimed that all who served as soldiers in the several wars are noted in these records ; but as many as were heard of in that capacity are thus noticed, to whom reference is made in Index II.

VIII. Ordinarily, when no town is mentioned as the place of birth, Sanbornton is to be understood, unless there is previous specification to the contrary, or the head of the given family is just before repre- sented as having elsewhere settled.

IX. In a few instances, families, chiefly belonging to other towns, like the Ladd Family, were yet so intimately connected with Sanborn- ton by marriages that their records are given with nearly the same degree of fulness as the others.

EXPLANATIONS.

X. When all of a given family name are shown in the records to have been descended from one and the same ancestor, the singular, " Family," is, with a few exceptions, employed in the headings (as also in the Index and Table of Contents) ; when such eominon ances- try is not shown, the plural, " Families," is employed ; and, in either case, the term " Branch " or " Branches " is used to designate the separate family groups.

XI. In the disputed orthography of certain surnames, a compro- mise is usually made. Preference may sometimes be given to the older forms of spelling in the running or page titles and the Index, but not in the way of authority or dictation.

XII. Miscellaneous explanations : A mark of interrogation (?) after a name or date implies uncertainty. Consecutive numbers are always referred to in brackets, except in the Indexes. The usual abbreviations for titles are employed, as also for the names of States ` and provinces, which usually appear but once after each family name when the place of residence is first given. Names of towns, if with- out special designation, are supposed to be in New Hampshire. Other abbreviations are those commonly used in books of this kind, as " b." for " born "; "m." for " married"; " unm." for " unmarried"; " d." for " died "; "ae." for "aged"; "dau." for " daughter"; "res." for " resides " or " residence "; " res'd. " for " resided "; "rem." for "removed"; and " t. r." for " town record (s)."

He here remained, in the successful dis- charge of his professional duties, residing at the Square, as Dr. Ilill's successor, for more than twenty-six years. He was character- ized, both as a man and as " the beloved physician," first, by that tenderness of heart which rendered him peenliarly sympathetic, and enabled him to feel for those in distress ; second, by that soundness and correctness of judgment which made him exceedingly useful as an adviser in any situation ; and thirdly, by a firmness of will, which resulted in remarkable decision of character, and reudered him con- stant and reliable as a friend and benefactor. He was town clerk, 1850 and '51 ; school committee, 1844 and '49 ; was for twenty-two years a deacon and pillar of the Congregational Church ; and for six-

Ile was a Christian of a deep and genuine religious experience ; excelled in the gifts of prayer and exhortation ; but was ever clothed with humil- ity, as also with benignity and gentlemanly kindness of speech and manner. He d., after seven weeks' distressing illness, of heart dis- case, July 6, 1870, ae. 71, " with the harness on, his armor all fitting well, having never lost his ground, and with all the honors of his best manhood " (Prof. Albert Sinith).
