NOTE .- The writer intended to correct a portion of the statement on page 64 in regard to the " manor house," but neglected it until too late for the text. The manor house referred to on the Kiersted farm which was torn down a few years ago was built in 1691. The traditionary evidence is that the original house of Thomas Chambers was located nearer the village and where Mr. Hayes's house now is.
