Town Clerks .- Whoever this official might have heen for several years preceding and succeeding 1737 is not definitely stated in the records; however, an officer was elected nearly every year, for many years whose official title was "Clerk for Strays " or "C'lerk for Stray Creatures," " Book-keeper for Stray Creatures." Whether or not he was clerk for the township is left for conjecture, therefore we take it for granted that he was the township scribe, as well as clerk for strays, and place him with the list of town clerks.
