Excerpt from Collections Relating to the History and Inhabitants of the Town of Townshend, Vermont Most of the papers and records copied for the First Part of our Collections were found in the town clerk's office of Townshend. Of these some are given in substance only, others are tabulated, and some are presented without abridgment. To the written testimonies above mentioned, we have added a few statements made to us by aged people whose memory reaches back to within a few years from the towns first settlement. These sources of information, together with certain public records and documents of this County and State, the State of New York, and the United States, are authorities for the facts herein stated. In some of the Family Registers, all members of the family do not appear upon record. A few of these omissions have been supplied, where evidence justified the making of the addition. In all other instances, we present the record as it was written by the recording officer. The number of registers would have been very much increased, had there been a more general compliance with the Statutes relating to the record of marriages, births and deaths. The list of deaths is made of names and dates copied from records both public and private, and from memorial stones in grave-yards. It is the intention of the writer to publish by next Summer a portion, possibly the whole, of the Second Part of his Collections relating to the history of Townshend.
