have transcribed the Charlestown Book of Possessions, and
to have the same printed, bound, and distributed in the same

exceeding one thousand dollars ; to be charged to the ap-

A true copy.
Attest :
S. F. McCLEARY,
City Clerk.
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council of Boston : —
In pursuance of the above vote, the Record Commission-
ers herewith submit a volume containing the early land grants
and records of the town of Charlestown, being the documents
comprised in one bound volume of the town and city
archives as now arranged. In regard to this book the
following statement has been made by Mr. Henry H. Edes,
the gentleman who was selected by the City Government
of Charlestown, prior to annexation, to arrange the rec-
ords : —
ii City Document No. 39.
" The volume which you have caused to be printed, and
which is lettered ' Charlestown Archives 34 | Book of Posses-
sions 1 1638-1802,' comprises, besides the record of 1638,
and the transfers made during the succeeding twenty years,
all records relating to the laying out and conveyance of land
and the survey of streets and highways, originally dispersed
in several volumes of our public archives, which properly
could be separated from the other matter contained in the
volumes in which I found them in 1^69. This breaking up
of old volumes and creating of new ones has been done by
authority and in pursuance of joint orders of tne City
Council of Charlestown, passed in June, 1869, and April,
1870, directing a classification, arrangement, and binding of
all the archives of the old town from 1629 to 1847, when it
was incorporated a city. The result of these orders will be
such a consolidation and chronological arrangement of our
records under a few heads, such as (1) Town Records, (2)
Treasury Records, (3) Vital Statistics, (4) Fire Depart-
ment, (5) Poor Department, (6) Schools, (7) Voters, (8)
Jurors, etc., etc., that, when my labors are completed, the
future inquirer for information contained in our archives
will readily find within a small compass the greater part at
least of all that is extant concerning the department in which
he shall be making special inquiry.
" Referring to the editorial note on page 186 of your report,
permit me to say that it is perfectly accurate so far as the sur-
veys of 1767 and 1802 are concerned ; but, unfortunately,
the original reports of the committees which made the surveys
of 1670 and 1714 are not now extant among our archives.
" The first entry in the town records respecting the com-
pilation of the 'Book of Possessions ' occurs in volume ii.
(generally referred to as 'Greene's Transcript'), folio 35
(old pagination) , and is in these words : —
" ' 1638. The first month, The 26: day | Ahra: Palmer, chosen by
the Towne forkeepeing the TowneBooke, as also to Record all pprieties
of Houses, Lands, Meadow or Pasture, as any Inhabitants of y'^ Towne
are, or shall bee possest of accords : to an ord"" of Court provided in
y*. behalfe.'
" It is reasonable to presume that Mr. Palmer began his
la1)ors without unnecessary delay, and that the following
entry was made on the completion of his work of engrossing
the schedules handed in to him by the major portion of the
inhabitants, since the mere clerical labor involved in exe-
cuting this important commission was by no means incon-
Biderable.
Report of Record Commissioners. hi
" ' 1688.
" ' Un the 28th day of the X month was taken A True Record of all
3uch houses & Lands as are Possessed by the Inhabita"'^ of Charlstown,

were devided amongst them by A Joynt Consent aft"" the Gen'^ Court

s"^ Towne Lying or being bettwixt Cambridge alias New Towne, on
the West South west, & Boston Land on the East as it app" upon Record
by the several grants of Gen" Courts to all the affores'^ Bounds.'
"Mr. Palmer recorded a large proportion of tlie 'Posses-
sions ' with his own hand ; but there are many pages in the
peculiar handwriting of Elder Nowell. Those persons who
are familiar with the chirography of those gentlemen need no
further confirmation of this fact than a glance at the record
itself; but, as if to insure to posterity the fullest possible
account of the preparation of this book, the town clerk of
that period makes this entry : —
