Ordered, That the Record Commissioners be authorized to have transcribed the Charlestown Book of Possessions, and to have the same printed, bound, and distributed in the same manner as their first and second reports, at an expense not exceeding one thousand dollars ; to be charged to the ap- propriation for Printing. Sent down for concurrence. Dec. 13, came up concurred. Approved by the Mayor, Dec. 14, 1877. 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 : — City Document No. 39. "t 2 ^ "! 4^ " The volume which you have caused to be printed, and which is lettered ' Charlestown Archives 34 | Book of Posses- sions | 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 1869. 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- vejs of 1767 and 1802 are concerned; but, unfortunately, the original reports of the committees which made the surveys of 1(570 and 1714 are not now extant among our archives. " The first entry in the town records respecting the com- ] libit ion 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 | Abra: Palmer, chosen by the Towne I'm- keepeing the Towne Booke. as also to Record all pprieties of Houses, Lands, Meadow or Pasture, as any Inhabitants of y*Towne are, or shall bee possest of accord'': to an ord r of Court provided in y*. behalfe. 1 "It i> reasonable to presume that Mr. Palmer began his labors 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- siderable. Eeport of Record Commissioners. in " • 1638. *• « On the 28th day of the X month was taken A True Record of all such houses & Lands as are Possessed by the Inhabita nt8 of Charlstown, wheth r by purchase, by gift from the Towne, or by allottments as they were devided amongst them by A Joynt Consent aft r the Gen 11 Court had setled theire Bounds, by granting eight miles from the old Meeting house into the Contry Northwest Northrly, &c. the bounds of the s d Towne Lying or being bettwixt Cambridge alias New Towne, ou the West South west, & Boston Land on the East as it app rs upon Record by the sever" grants of Gen 11 Courts to all the aflfores d Bounds.' "Mr. Palmer recorded a large proportion of the ' 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 : — " ' 28 (11) 1638. "• Abra : Palmer was allowed £3 for wrighting this yearepast: & Mr. Nowell 20s. for helping in Acco : ' "Here we have a complete record of the authority under which the volume was prepared, and of the hands to which its compilation and engrossment were confided. "An order, imposing a fine upon delinquents, is here transcribed : — "'27 (11) 1639. " * It was ord rd the first of 8ber last, y* any that have not dd in A note of theire Lands to M r Abra : Palmer to have entered in y e booke shall pay to the Towns use 2s. A month aft r notice given from the s d first of the 8 month.' "In this connection it should be remembered that Charles- town originally embraced within its limits the territory now contained in Woburn, Burlington, Stoneham, Maiden, Som- erville, and parts also of Reading, Medford, Cambridge, and West Cambridge. " Nor was the importance of maintaining the completeness of the record lost sight of, for in 1643 we find the following entry : — " « 1643. The 23 d of the IV. month | . •"It is ord rd y' all purchases & alienations of houses or Lands shall be Recorded in the Towne booke, & whosever shall neglect to Record any such purchase or Alienation for above A month shall forfeit five shillings.' iv City Document No. 39. "This was followed by a more stringent order passed (probably in March) : — '"1644. "•Whereas it was form' 1 ? ord rd at A meeting an: 1643, in the 4 th mo : That all purchases, & Aliena^ons of houses or Lands should bee Recorded in A Towne Booke upon a certaine penalty therein expresst. \v ch notwithstand* hath beene neglected : It is now iarther ord rd y* all Purchases, & Alienations y' have not beene form r 'y Recorded, or shall hereafter bee made for time to come, shall within A month after the publication of this ord r bee brought in to the Secretary for the Towne affaires, upon the forfeiture of sixe shillings eight pence for every deffect, to bee levied by A Towne officer, & lor every such Record the Secretary to have foure Pence.' " Much to be regretted is the loss of the folio — appar- ently the only one that is missing in the whole volume — on which, as we learn from the ancient index, were recorded the possessions of the Rev. John Harvard, the founder of the College. It seems, indeed, as though a strange fatality attended everything pertaining to Harvard's private life, his lineage and his possessions ; and so few are the known facts concerning him that I have copied, verbatim, from our records the following entries certifying his admission as an Inhabitant and the esteem in which he was held by his con- temporaries : — (4 i 1637. The l 8t day of the vi. month. | " 'Mr. John Harvard is admitted A Townsman with pmise of such accomodations as wee best Can.' " " « 1638. The 26 of the ii. month. | 44 * Mr. Increase Nowell, Mr. Zach r Sims, Mr. Jn° Greene, Mr. Jn° Harvard, Liett Ralph Sprague & W m Learned were desired to con- sid r of some things tending towards A body of Lawes, &c.' " Since you have suggested that a full list of Town Clerks, or Recorders as they sometimes were termed, would give additional value to your report, I have prepared the follow- ing schedule, regretting that I have not at present at my command the time necessary to a scrutiny of the third and fourth volumes of our Town Records for the purpose of as- certaining if, buried in their obscure hieroglyphics which are intelligible only to a practised eye, the precise date is pre- served of the appointment of Edward Burtt. Such an exam- ination as I have been able to make of these volumes fails to afford more than the approximate date appended to his name. "TOWN CLERKS OF CHARLESTOWN. 1629-1847. "Increase Nowell. — There is no record of his first ap- pointment, but our earliest, extant, original records, dating Report of Record Commissioners. v from 1634, are in his handwriting. On the 22 (11) 1635-6, it was Ordered, ? That Mr. Increase Nowell have 40s. for writeing the ordinary Transactions of the Town Last yeare * "Abraham Palmer was chosen 26 (1) 1638. "John Greene. — Mr. Palmer was one of the Selectmen, as well as Town Clerk as late as Jan. 12, 1643-4. At the succeeding election, 2 (11) 1645-6, Elder Greene was elected in his stead, and appears to have entered upon the office of Recorder at the same time, although the records are silent as regards his- formal appointment to that service at that time. "In fact the original record of the meeting held 2 (11) 1 645-6 is in Greene's handwriting, and is the first record of municipal proceedings preserved in the original, which oc- curs after a hiatus of eleven years, and follows Elder Now- ell's record of a meeting in January, 1635-6. It is, there- fore, safe to conclude that Elder Greene's service as Re- corder began 2(11) 1645-6. " Samuel Adams appears to have acted as Town Clerk at intervals between 1653 and 1661, and was honored with an election by the Inhabitants 3 (11) 1658-9, Elder Greene having died April 22, 1658, at the age of 65. " Edward Burtt acted as Recorder in 1658, although I fail to find the precise date of his appointment. He served till about the year 1662. 1 "James Cary was chosen Nov. 3, 1662. "Laurence Hammond was chosen Jan. 27, 1672-3. "James Russell was chosen Jan. 14, 1677-8. "John Newell was chosen March 11, 1678-9. " Samuel Phipps, the Schoolmaster, was chosen June 4, 1688 and Served till June 17, 1689. "John Newell recorded the proceedings, not as Recorder but as one of the Selectmen, from June 19, 1689, till Sept. 9, 1689, when he was chosen Recorder by his associates. He was reelected till March 2, 1695-6. "Nathaniel Dows [Dowse] was chosen March 2, 1695-6. " Benjamin Dows, Jr., [L)owse] was chosen Sept. 4, 1719. "Thomas Jenner was chosen Sept. 12, 1720. "Samuel Phipps was chosen March 7, 1725-6. He was a nephew of the Schoolmaster. "Joseph Phillips was chosen March 4, 1727-8. "Seth Sweetser was chosen Jan. 20, 1755. " Walter Russell was chosen March 2, 1778, but had 1 " It has been stated in print that Nicholas Shapley served as Town Clerk for a few months in 1662 — during the interval which elapsed between the retirement of Burtt and the election of Cary; but I doubt the accuracy of the statement, and am of opinion that Mr. Shanlev served only as Clerk of the Writs, to which office he was chosen July 27, 1662." H. H. E. vi City Document No. 39. acted as town clerk for several weeks previous to that time. Mr. Sweetser's last entry in the records bears date Jan. 13, 1778. He died Jan. 15, 1778. " Samuel Swan was chosen March 1, 1779. "Timothy Trumball was chosen March 6, 1780. " Samuel Swan was chosen October 23, 1782. " Samuel Holbrook was chosen March 3, 1783. " Samuel Payson. was chosen March 5, 1787. "Phillips Payson was chosen August 3, 1801. "John Kettell was chosen March 3, 1806. "Samuel Devens was chosen March 2, 1812. "John Kettell was chosen March 1, 1813. "David Dodge was chosen March 7, 1814. "John Kettell was chosen March 2, 1818. " Charles Devens was chosen September 30, 1822. "David Dodge was chosen March 7, 1825. "Mr. Dodge continued in office till the incorporation of the town as a city, and reluctantly consented to an election as first city clerk. The infirmities of age were upon him, and he retired from office before the close of the year for which he was elected, after more than twenty-six years of faithful service. To him we are deeply indebted for the ex- cellent records of the period of his own term of service, and for the preservation and transmission of much valuable mat- ter that would have been irretrievably lost but for his zeal and watchful care and untiring industry. " I believe that the foregoing list includes the name of every person who held the office of Town Clerk or Recorder of the Town of Charlestown. It is possible, however, though not probable, that, for the reasons above stated, the name of some person who acted in that capacity for a few weeks or months by appointment of the Selectmen, may have been overlooked ; but such an omission, if there be any, is of slight importance." 1 1 " Since I have had occasion to mention the Charlestown records, covering the period from 1658 to 1695, and the great difficulty in consulting them experienced even by those persons who arc most familiar with the exceedingly bad chirography in which they are written, I beg leave, respectfully, to call the attention of the Record C'ommis- ers to these volumes. They have been carefully repaired and bound during the ccadc, but even now are in a frail and perishing condition. " A single additional report, equal in size to the one you are about to issue, would suffice to present in type nil the records now known to lie extant of the municipal pro- cccdings of the Town of Charlestown, from its settlement down to about the year 1695. These records treat largely of the grants made by the town to its early inhabitants, ol boundaries, and the hiving out of highways and commons; in fine, of matters which would greatly aid conveyancers and our City Engineers and Surveyors in the prosecution of their labors at the present time, could they but have the material in print. Tin' Charlestown Records are unusually full as regards land matters ; and when the extent of territory originally covered by the town, and the condition of the rccods themselves, are taken into consideration, the importance of printing them appear? in the strongest possible light." 11. 11. E. Report of Record Commissioners. vh The Commissioners would add that, as in the previous volumes, they have not felt at liberty to insert any annota- tions. The liberality of the city is sufficiently taxed in placing the text of these records before the public in an accu- rate transcript. The only notes are such as relate to the text itself. It may also be added, that the index is not to be con- sidered a part of the volume, not having been prepared at the cost of the city. It is hoped, however, that it is both accu- rate and comprehensive, and that it will be found of service. It also seems proper to annex a statement of the cost of the volumes already issued : — First report, pp. 183, estimated cost . . $900 00 Cost of 1,500 copies, 500 being bound in cloth 824 08 Second Report, pp. 299, estimated cost . $1,000 00 Cost of same number of copies . . . 736 87 Third Report, estimated cost . . . $1,000 00 The Commissioners may perhaps anticipate that other portions of the city, as Roxbury and Dorchester, may call for a similar publication of their records of early grants and possessions of land. There has also been a feeling manifested in favor of print- ing the first volume of deeds for Suffolk County, inasmuch as the expense would be but little greater than that of a manuscript copy. Certainly the old town of Boston requires a second volume of extracts from its records, to complete the grants of lots and the laying out of streets. Whilst the Commissioners will cheerfully discharge any duties of the above-named nature which may be assigned to them, they beg leave to repeat their previous notice that their main duty is still unfulfilled. The transcripts of the Church records, to supplement and complete the records pre- served by the City Registrar, are still to be made. They hope, therefore, to receive instructions during the next year to make a beginning upon their most necessary and long- delayed work. The preparation of the following volume has devolved solely upon the undersigned. For the Record Commissioners, WILLIAM H. WHITMORE. Boston, December, 1878. viii City Document No. 39. NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The first edition of the volume having been distributed, the City Council has directed the Record Commissioners to reprint and stereotype the same, in order to continue to sup- ply copies to those interested. The opportunity has been availed of to make such slight corrections of errors in the text as have been noticed by Mr. Edes, but these have not caused any difference in the pagination. WILLIAM H. WHITMORE, WILLIAM S. APPLETON, Record Commissioners. Robtoh, July, 1883. PREFATORY NOTE. The pagination in brackets is that of the volume as now bound up and interleaved. The numbers are on the page facing the old leaves ; but the original was numbered by folios only. Page 1 of the bound volume is a new printed title-page. Page 2 (i.e. folio 1 of the original) contains the following random entry, evidently misplaced, as it is also found in the first volume of Town Records : — "It is agreed that Thomas Beecher, William Jennings and Raphe Sprage are apoynted to bee at the meetings, and to bee of them to p'sent the towne at the generall court uext In September." Page 3 (reverse of folio 1) contains an old Index of the List of Possessions following ; and, although folio 2 (pp. 4 and 5) is missing, we learn by this Index that on it were recorded the possessions of John Harvard and the Rev. Zechariah Symmes. The old Index also refers, without naming page, to the possessions of Major William Phillips. Probably they, too, were recorded on the missing folio, as he is elsewhere referred to as an abutter on the estates of other inhabitants. — W.H.W. INDEX TO THE POSSESSIONS.
