EXPLANATIONS.
1. WHEN places other
than Hanson and Massachusetts arenamed in the original
records, they are given in the printed copy.
2. In all
records the original spelling is followed.
3. The various spellings of a name
should be examined, as items about the same family or individual might be found
underdifferent
spellings.
4. Marriages and intentions of
marriages are printed under the names of both parties. When both the marriage
and intention of marriage are recorded, only the marriage record is printed; and
where a marriage appears without the intentionrecorded, 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,
ordifference shown in other entries ofthe record, is bracketed. Parentheses are
used to show the difference in the spelling of a name in the same entry, to
indicate the maiden name of a wife, to enclose an imperfect portion of the
original text, and to separate clauses in the original text — such as the
birthplace of a parentin late records.
