INDEX.
References to the pages on which appointments to the regular town offices are recorded, have not been inserted in this Index. The names of those holding office prior to the obtainment of the Town Charter in 1713 are given in the Appendix. Office appointments after that time it was thought unnecessary to refer to particularly, as they were made annually with great regularity, and the recapitulation of so large a number of names would have unnecessarily increased the size of the volume.
A dash between the figures indicates that the name or subject is men- tioned on each of the intervening pages.
Differences in the mode of spelling a name have sometimes been pointed out.
