The transcript below was done by Bayard Kraft and has been re-entered into electronic format by Sone of our project members. It covers the years 1692-1721, although the town fathers, being thrifty, apparently made some later entries on these pages. It is not the entire document. We're working on that. Note thatMr. Kraft had a habit of using fs whenever he encountered tall skinny s's. So, for instance, assessors may in some spots be rendered affeffors or something like it.
We are grateful to Mr. Kraft for his work of transcription and especially to our hard working contributor who made publication possible..
