Elbridge Chandler, George W. Ford. 8 SELECTMEN'S ACCOUNT. Of the $17600 00 outstanding Bonds there is 1500,00 which ma- tures on the first day of May, 1866, together with the Interest due on 17,600.00 from Nov. 1st, 1865, to May 1st, 1866, of 528.00, making 2,028.00 which is expected to be met at that time from funds now in the Treasury. There will be due Nov. 1st, 1866, the Interest on the $16100,00 Bonds then outstanding from May 1st, 1866, to Nov. 1st, 1866, 483.- 00,together with the 2000.00 Bonds, which mature May 1st, 1867, and the interest on the 16,100.00 Bonds from Nov. 1st, 1866, to May 1st, 1867, 483.00, making 2,966.00 to be provided for by as- sessment. We are of the opinion that the outstanding Notes and Interest amounting to 3,532.20, Dec. 1st, 1866, can be met by family aid fur- nished by the Town in 1865, due from State Dec. 1st, 1866, and in- corporate stocks taxed by the State and due the Town about that time The Selectmen would therefore recommend the following sums to defray the expenses of the Town the ensuing year : Viz. Schools, $2,000 Highways, 1,500 Support of Poor, 2,500 Deficiency of last year. 547 Incidental Expenses, 1,000 Town Debts, 3,000 $10,547 All of which is most respectfully submitted.

TO THE PERSEVERING INTEREST OF CATHARINE MUNROE (MARCH) CLARK THE PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK IS DUE; AND TO HER MEMORY IT nr· LOVINGLY DEDICATED. INTRODUCTION. IN offering this volume to the public, the compiler is well aware that in many lines it is incomplete, and that there must be, of ~ecessity, occasional errors in dates and names. As to the former, it is well known to all genealogists that the dates found on town records frequently differ from those contained in family Bibles, or given on gravestones; in some cases, two or even three varying dates for the same event have been furnished by different members of the same family; in such instances the responsibility of deciding which had the greater weight of evidence in its favor has necessarily fallen upon the compiler, and it can hardly be supposed that no errors have been made in reaching . the conclusions given. In the spelling of names some apparent dis- crepancies will doubtless be observed; these are due to the fact that the form used by the family itself has been followed. Even in the same family different members have occasionally, used different spelling of their family name. The material for the foundation of the work was largely gathered by the late John Goodwin Locke; the notes which he left at the time of his death, in 1869, being collated by Capt. Nathaniel Goodwin, who brought down the line of descendants of Dr.
