* Since the record of the Bezaleel, Edward, John, Mark N., and Oscar W. Spaulding families was in type it has been discovered that they are descended from Edward Spaulding of Chelmsford, Jiass. (see p. 871), with perhaps the exception of the fam- ilies of Edward and John. I have no doubt, however, that further research would reveal the fact that they also belong to the same family. In simply giving this note of correction I am aware we depart from the original plan of the book, but I see no other way to do.
