Excerpt from History Town of the Plainfield, Hampshire County, Mass, , From Its Settlement to 1891: Including a Genealogical History of Twenty-Three of the Original Settlers and Their Descendants, With Anecdotes and SketchesNo history of the town having been published since that by Dr. Jacob Porter in 1834, it seemed to me desirable and proper that another should be written. The old records being 111 my care made it an easy matter to refer to them constantly in compiling this work. It is believed that all dates given can be relied on as accurate, being taken from the original records, with very few exceptions. The his tory by Dr. Porter has been of great assistance. I have also obtained some facts from the Hampshire County Gazetteer, and also from an article in the Magazine of American History, of March, 1887, by Mrs. Martha J. Lamb. I am also indebted to Mr. Levi Clark. Mr. Levi N. Campbell, Mr. Chas. Lyman Shaw, and others, for infor mation furnished. The genealogical record of some of the original settlers has been omitted because their de scendants have all long since removed or deceased, - and others because their records are very imperfect.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
