Excerpt from Eighteenth Century Baptisms in Salem, Massachusetts, Hitherto Unpublished: Copied From the Original Records and Alphabetically ArrangedIN the Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, 'vol. VI, p. 227, to Vol. VIII, p. 205, may be found a (copy of the baptismal record of the First Church in Salem from 1636 to 1765, communicated by Dr. Henry Wheat land. In Vol. XV, p. 70, may be found several pages of Q errata, the result of a prolonged and minute comparison of the printed copy with the original record.This is the only printed record of Salem baptisms, although those of Salem Village (now Danvers Centre) and of the Middle Precinct (now Peabody), then parishes of old Salem, may be found in these Collections. It is my purpose to print, alphabetically, all the accessible (and hitherto unpublished) baptisms for the eighteenth century of Salem proper. The lists were, in every case, made from the original records, and, in most cases, with the valuable assistance of Mr. Henry F. Waters who proof read mine with the original manuscripts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
