It includes the records of the town clerks and treasurers;\\nof the Hopland school district, with the unrecorded manuscripts of that or-\\nganization; those of the Congregational church, and the mortuary records\\nof the cemeteries. They are not all strictly limited to the last century,\\nhowever. Under Records of Births, those of each family are given as\\nfully as recorded, many being later than the year 1800. Under Creature\\nMarks, the transfers are given, several of which were later than that\\nyear, and the treasury accounts of the town and Hopland school district\\nextend several mouths into the year 1801.\\nIn the appendix is a brief histoiy of the town s incorporation; a\\ntabulation of the state and county taxes apportioned on the town, and\\nthe marriage records of some residents of Lee found elsewhere.\\nThe facsimiles on pp. 319-339, the plate opposite page 10 and that oppo-\\nsite p. 79, are from originals in the department of Archives at the State\\nHouse.\\nThe volume thus contains for the period covered, all the public records\\ndiscovered relating to the town s business, educational, and religious his-\\ntory, as well as its vital records.\\nIt was in contemplation also, to include a brief military record of the\\nmen who served in the Revolutionary war, from the town, or previous to\\nits organization, from the grants or parts of grants now in its limits, but\\nthe design was abandoned, as it was found that scarcely any reliable in-\\nformation of this kind exists except in the state archives, and all such\\nmatter in possession of the state is being published in Massachusetts\\nSoldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War.\\nMainly the object in undertaking this work has been to collect and col-\\nlate the early vital records of the town. These records are often consulted\\nby persons in search of their ancestry, and frequent inquiries are made by\\npersons at a distance regarding births, marriages and deaths among the\\nearly residents here. The information sought for, if in the records, is not\\nalways readily fviund, and is sometimes overlooked unless many pages\\nare carefully scrutinized.\\nUnfortunately the vital records of that period are not complete, the\\nclerks preceding Daniel Wilcox, whose service commenced in 1793, having\\nneglected to enter a considerable part of them. Less then a page of birth\\nrecords were entered before 1791. Most of those in this volume were\\nrecorded by Daniel Wilcox, and of course many of them some years after\\nthat of birth. The method of arrangement was that followed in this and\\nmany other towns until the present uniform system was adopted by the\\nState in 1844.

The book in which they were first entered was prob-\\nably improvised, like the first book of Hopland, and the first and second\\nbooks of church records, by stitching a few sheets of paper together. It\\nwas not until nearly thirteen years had passed from the first town meet-\\ning, that a more durable book was procured and the entries in the first\\nbook transcribed into it. March 7, 1785, the town Voted to raise six\\npounds as soon as be conveniently for procuring a Standard of Weights\\nand Measures and a Town Book for Records Pex-haps at that period\\nof onerous taxation just preceding the Shays rebellion, a tax of $30 for\\nthe purpose specified could not be conveniently raised; at all events it was\\nnot soon raised, for May 11, 1789, the town again voted to raise six\\npounds to pm-chase a standard of Weights Measures and a Town\\nBook and Capt. Josiah Yale was appointed to procure them. At the\\nanniial meeting March 1. 1790, he was requested to procure a Standard\\nof Weights Measures as Cheap as may be and answer the Law The\\nrecords thenceforth are silent as to the weights aud measures, and it\\nwould seem that the book was not procured until some months after the\\nlast date, for all the records of that year were entered in the original first\\nbook. In the minutes of a meeting, Dec. 30, 1790, is the en trj Voted\\nto give Mi; John Powers, Eighteen Shillings on his transcribing the\\nWhole Contained in this Book into a new Book of Records\\nThe transcript occupies about 70 pages of the first volume of town\\nrecords. It is in a fairly legible h? nd (see plate opposite p. 136), but\\nabounds in rare spelling and construction, and a wealth of capitals.\\nMany words, also, commence with a letter which may be considered\\neither large or small, and as the writer followed no rule, it is uncer-\\ntain which he intended. In printing this part of the records the aim has\\nbeen in cases of doubt, to follow the customary usage of educated wri-\\nters of the period.

Major Dillingham was a versatile man, and served the town and\\ncommunity in many capacities. His fame as a wit and a poet has been\\nhanded down to this day. He settled here soon after the town s incor-\\nporation and at once became prominent in its affairs. For many years he\\nwas host of the Red Lion and also carried on a successful merchan-\\ntile business. Besides his records as town clerk and treasurer, two of the\\nHopland leases printed in this book (pp. 228-233), and the item about the\\narrangements for observing the day appointed for mourning on account of\\nthe death of Gen. Washington, were written by him. There is also in\\npossession of the town a map of that part of Hartwood included in the\\ntown s limits, whicli he delineated. His reports of town meetings seem\\nto have been entered in the book w^hile the business was in progress, and\\nthough they show marks of haste, are clearly and well expressed. In the\\ntranscribed portion of his records are some jumbles, which, without\\ndoubt, he Avas not responsible for; as that about the school districts, pp.\\n30, 31; the regulations of the inoculating committee, p. 34, and that about\\nabatement of taxes, on the upper part of p. 46.

His records\\nare not very plain; evidently he drove a rapid, and careless quill. lu his\\nmanuscript small e and i are generally indistinguishable, and the same\\ncharacter of ten stands for small a, o and u. Altogether his writing is very\\npeculiar. Numerous words are not fully written out, the most frequent\\nfault in this respect being the omission of a letter or syllable from the end of\\nwords. Some date-errors also appear; as for instance, he records that his\\nbrother Oziel was killed at Sheffield, March 27, 1787. Oziel was an adherent\\nof Daniel Shays, and was killed in the skirmish which took place between\\nthe insurgents and state forces at Sheffield Feb. 27, ]787. Other errors of\\ndate have been noticed, and where considerable are noted. His record of\\nthe death of his brother Peter (p. 178), and of his sister Electa (p. 180), are\\ncircumstantial to an extent seldom attempted by town clerks.\\nIt is much to be regretted that the town meeting reports during the\\nRevolutionary war and Shays s rebellion periods are not more full and\\nexplicit. Meager as they are. however, they show how enormous was\\nthe burden laid upon this new and struggling community in furnishing\\nits quota of men and means to carry on the war, and the restiveness under\\nthe excessive taxation for several years following it. What the state and\\ncounty taxes were may be seen by reference to the tabulation in the appendix.\\nNo town meeting warrants were recorded until 1816. It is supposed\\nthey and many other town manuscripts; such as assessors lists, tax bills,\\nvoting lists, etc., prior to 1826, were stored in the town hall in the basement\\nof the Congregational church, and were destroyed in the great fire of 1857.\\nSome of the business transacted in the town meetings cannot be un-\\nderstood without the warrants, and all that which was presented in the\\nnumerous articles passed over is lost entirely; and by the loss of the other\\nmaterial much valuable local history has been blotted out.\\nAs above stated Dillingham s and Wilcox s minutes of town meetings,\\nbear evidence of having been permanently recorded while the business\\nwas in progress.
