EXPLANATIONS
1. When places other than Sherborn and Massachusetts are named in the original records, they are given in the printed copy.
2. In all records the original spelling is followed.
3. The variouss spellins of a name should be examined, as items about the same family or individual may be found under different spellings.
4. Marriages are printed under the names of both parties. When a marriage appears without the intention recorded, it is designated with an asterisk.
5. Additional information which does not appear in the original text of an item, i.e., any explanation, query, inference, or difference shown in other entries of the record, is bracketed.
