The list of marriages in Groton and Pepperell is copied from Butler's History of Groton ; that in Townsend, from the town records of that town. The parties probably resided in the several towns in which the marriages are recorded, except in those cases where it is otherwise stated. The other lists, except that of Mr. Hill, are taken from the town records of Mason. In those of Mr. Searle, the residence of the parties is stated in only one instance. Most of the persons in these lists resided in Mason. In the list of Mr. Eliot, the resi- dence given in the record is stated in every instance. The date of the first marriage in this list, that of John Sloan and Sarah Blood, on the record, is "January 1, 1782." This cannot be correct, as Mr. Eliot was not ordained till 1786, and had no authority to officiate, in marrying persons, before he was ordained. The date 1789 is inserted as the probable date. On page 165, in a few copies, the following marriage was accidentally omitted, and should be supplied: "1821. October 11. Joseph Smith, Wilton, Lucy Adams, Mason." The list of marriages by Mr. Hill is copied from his original record. In this record, the residence of the parties is stated, in all cases ; but in the list above published, the residence of parties in Mason is omitted ; that of others is stated. In Mr. Hill's records, in a few instances, the day of the month is not inserted. Two marriages by the Rev. Joseph B. Hill, are copied from his original record. The remainder of the list, from January 23, 1849, to October 31, 1857, is copied from the town records; the name of the officiating minister or magistrate, and the residence of the parties, is given wherever it is found in these records. It must be apparent that the record of marriages in the above list, for several of the last years, is very imperfect.

HISTORY OF MASON.


RECORD OF DEATHS.


A record of deaths of the inhabitants and residents of the town of Mason, commencing July 20, 1758, and ending Janu- ary 1, 1858, gathered from the town records, monuments, and documentary evidence, for the period from 1758 to November 2, 1790; from that time to the close of the year 1837, taken from the record of deaths kept by the Rev. Ebenezer Hill, with a few corrections and additions derived from monuments and reliable evidence ; for the years 1838 and 1839, no record having been found, resort was had to monuments, minutes of burials kept by the sextons, and reliable tradition; from the close of that period, use has been made of the record kept by Dr. Willis Johnson.


" Time is a river, deep and wide, And while along its banks we stray, We see our loved ones, o'er its tide, Borne from our sight away, away."


A record of deaths previous to November 3, 1790, gathered from town records, monuments, and other sources :


1758. July 20. Corporal Nehemiah Gould, killed in battle near Lake George.


1761.


Sept. 5. 1762.
