Additions and Corrections.


The following additional records and corrections were received too late to be inserted in the main body of the work.


Diserepaneies in the spelling of proper names were common in the early days and uniformity has not been attempted; discrepancies sometimes appear in the dates relating to the same person, when taken in one instance from the town record and in another from the family record. No attempt has been made to eliminate apparent errors, but such as have been detected have been noted in the text.
