Road through Barnet from the Harvey tract to the river, p. 143. After this vol- ume was nearly all printed, the original bills for this road came to light and an abstract is given here for their preservation. Samuel Stevens of Barnet, Frye Bayley and Levi Sylvester of Newbury were the committee to locate the road which seems to have been done about 1785. These men were paid six shillings a day for their service, Gen. Whitelaw receiving 12 shillings per day for surveying it, his chainmen receiving five shillings. The road was built at an average cost of £15, 10/ per mile.
Ryegate in the Civil War, p. 267. The list there given was prepared with the assistance of several members of the Grand Army post at Wells River. But the records show that several of these were born elsewhere. It would be impossible for obvious reasons, to give a complete list. The following names at least should be added : Cowles, Edward, Sur- geon ; Goodwin, Charles R., 20th Mass .; Morrill, Alfred, 44th Wis .; Nelson, Archibald D., 15th Vt., Scott, Samuel W., 8th Vt.
Schools, p. 162. Mr. Gilfiillan wishes the names inserted of those who were admitted to the primary dept. of the So. Ryegate school in 1908: Marguerite Crowe, Alice Metcalf, Mary Green, Columbia Rosa, Amer- ico Rosa. Marion Grierson, Lissel Steward. George Fisk, Winifred Skinner, Elmer Pratt, and Lusino Lamhon had been in school a little and were placed in the same grade.
Stuart, p. 533. Spooner's Vt, Journal for May 30, 1825, in an obituary notice of James Stuart, b. at Barnet in 1797, a son of that Col. James Stuart, who was drowned with Dr. Stuart in 1805, states that Claudius Stu- art, who settled in Barnet was a soldier under Prince Charles Stuart in the rebellion of 1745, and fought at the battles of Falkirk and Cul- loden. This James Stuart, his grandson, was educated at Vt. Univ., but grad. at Yale College in 1818, became principal of Peacham Acad- einy, was a fine scholar and contributed to the scientific publications of his time. He d. at St. Johnsbury May 10, 1825.
Tyron, p. 11. For " William Tyron" read William Tryon.
United Pres. Ch., So. Ryegate, p. 132. On July 29, 1912, at a legally called meet- ing of the pew owners of the Old Church (U. P.) it was decided by a vote of 30 to 1 to raise the church and finish the basement for vestry purposes. A building committee was elected viz., Robt. Farquharson, F. J. Doe, R. H. Gates, Mrs. C. H. Grant, Mrs. Lee Brock and Miss Josephine Gibson. James Lowe did the work by contract, all but fin- ishing the basement which was done by F. J. Tewksbury. The audi- ence room was refinished in steel, a new furnace, electric lights and running water was installed at an expense of upwards of $3000. The first service held after these changes was on Nov. 24.
Vance, p. 544. The date of birth of Marjorie E. Vance should read Aug. 19, 1912.

APPENDIX.
Webster, p. 551. [Correction received just before these pages went to press. ] (1) Stephen B.,2 b. March 12, 1812, and was m. Jan. 7, 1835 instead of Nov. 12.
Witherspoon, p. 12. Prof. V. L. Collins of Princeton Univ., the latest biographer of Pres. Witherspoon, says that Dr. W. could not have been in Lon- don in 1792, as he was then an invalid. The deed was probably exe- cuted by his attorney. The widow of Dr. Witherspoon married Rev. Samuel Smith, D.D., who succeeded him as president of the college. Letters from Dr. Smith about Ryegate and Newbury lands are among the Whitelaw papers. There is a very curious deed on record at New- bury (Land Records, Vol. I, pp. 78-87,) by which Rev. John Wither- spoon, D.D., President of the College of New Jersey, being then in London, conveys on June 13, 1784, to John Pagan, late of Greenock, but then of London, two-thirds of a tract of 1250 acres in Newbury. The deed covers six folio pages, and is very minute, with constant repetition of legal phrases, and is witnessed by Charlton Palmer and Charlton Pollock. Then follows an affidavit by James Whitelaw and Alexander Harvey, made the year previous before Jacob Kent of New- bury, to the intent that they were familiar with the lands in question which were as described. Then comes an affidavit from Charlton Pollock of Philpot Lane, London, "clerk to Charlton Palmer, Attor- ney at Law, that they were present and did see the Rev. Dr. Wither- spoon, etc., sign, seal, duly Execute and Deliver the Indentures of Lease and Release herennto Annexed." This was sworn to at the Guild- hall, London, June 15, 1784, before the Lord Mayor. And now the Lord Mayor of London takes his turn and makes affidavit that on the day aforesaid, Charlton Pollock, "being a Person well known and worthy of good Credit and by Solemn Oath which he the said Depon- ent there took before me upon the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, solemnly and sincerely Declared, Testified and Deponed," to the truth of the matters contained in the affidavit. Last of all the Lord Mayor of London, affixes the Great Seal of the City to this document. and solemnly declares the truth and validity of "the Hereunto Annexed Lease and Release, which are conveyed by the said Acts and Affidavits. Dated in London, the 15th of June, One thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty and Four." This is the land mentioned on p. 12. There may be a similar deed on record at Ryegate. The record at Newbury was written in London and the sheets are bound into the 1st volume of land records. The hand writing is very elegant and as clear and dis- tinct as if written only yesterday.
P. 39. For John Witherspoon read James.
Whitaker, p. 575. [This record was the last received for this volume.] Addi- tions to the record of Emeline [Whitaker] Scott.

The title page of this pamphlet is as follows : Sermon, Preached at Danville, Vt., Before the Fraternity of Free and Ac- cepted Masons of Harmony Lodge at the Celebration of the Festival of St. John the Baptist, June 25, 1798. By William Forsyth, A. M. Printed at Peacham, Vt., By Farley & Goss, 1798.

In the North Star for Oct. 7, 1843, R. H. Wilmot of Groton "from the Philo- graphic Institute," advertises that he takes daguerreotypes and will keep on hand a supply of apparatus and instruct pupils in the art. This must have been one of the earliest attempts at photography in this vicinity and a number of daguerreotypes taken by this Mr. Wil- not are in existence.

This index is of parents; the husband's names in alphabetical order, the maiden name of the wife of each, and the page on which the record of their children may be found.
