Fox, Nashua; Charles T. Gill Publisher; 1846 ------------------------------------ page 237 Appendix I There is a natural desire in every man to know something of his ancestry, and to the descendants of the early settlers of Dunstable it must be interesting to trace back their families to their origin. The materials for this purpose exists, to a great extent, in the ancient records of Marriages, Births and Deaths among the town papers, a large part of which were collected, compared and arranged by John Farmer, Esq. His deserved reputation as an antiquarian is a guarantee of its accuracy. The list is not generally brought down to a period later than 1705; to have extended it would have required too much time and space.
