APPENDIX.
OFFICE HOLDERS,
FROM THE SETTLEMENT OF THE TOWN UNTIL ITS INCORPORATION IN 1713.
A dash between the dates indicates that the person appears to have deen re-elected annually during the intervening period, but it is evident that re-elections must frequently have taken place without any record having been made of the fact.
Some of the offices were of a temporary character, and others seem to have been created, suspended, revived or abolished, as the circumstances of the town required, without any official entry being made of the change. This will account for the want of continuity that will be observed in several offices.
The manner of spelling many of the names differed at different periods.
