A Report of the Record Commissioners: Containing the Roxbury Land and Church Records (Classic Reprint)

A Report of the Record Commissioners: Containing the Roxbury Land and Church Records (Classic Reprint)

William Henry Whitmore
0/5 ( ratings)
Excerpt from A Report of the Record Commissioners: Containing the Roxbury Land and Church Records

The other items in the book are dated, and are of the miscellaneous nature generally to be found in Old books of town records.

As this particular volume would not make a book of the size of others in this series of reports, the commissioners searched for material to accompany it. The first volume of town records is in proper form for printing by itself, and it seemed unwise to divide it so as to fill out this book. It was, however, believed, that the Records of the First Church in Roxbury were of so conspicuous interest and value as to warrant their selection for printing. Not only are they of interest as being largely the work of that most famous of our divines, the Rev. John Eliot, but they contain many pages of entries of general interest. Mr. Eliot and his col league, the Rev. Samuel Danforth, happily conceived the idea of entering in this volume a summary of public events, year by year. As public records, therefore, they will be valued by many who have no special interest in the doings of the settlers at Roxbury.
