EXPLANATIONS
The following
records of births, marriages and deaths
include all entries
to be found in the books of record kept
by the town clerks;
in the church records; in the cemetery
inscriptions;
and in private records found in family Bibles,
etc. These records
are printed in a condensed form in
which every essential
particular has been preserved. All
duplication of
the town clerk's record has been eliminated,
but differences
in entry and other explanatory matter
appear in brackets.
Parentheses are used when they occur
in the original
record; also to indicate the maiden name of
a married woman.
When places other
than Carlisle and Massachusetts are
named in the
original records, they are given in the printed
copy. Marriages
and intentions of marriage are printed
under the names
of both parties. In all records the original
spelling of names
is followed, and in the alphabetical
arrangement the
various forms should be examined, as
items about the
same family may be found under different
spellings.
