In our early history many were known by the titles which their civil or military positions gave them. People in speaking or writing would address them by their titles. This accounts for their frequent appearance in our records. I give no titles after 1829, as they are only occasionally found upon the records. Many persons holding military commissions, and also those holding commissions as justices, are not given their titles in the records. They had lost their force, and had become merely complimentary. Old things had passed away, and a new era had dawned upon our people.
