LIST  OF THOSE ABLE TO BEAR ARMS IN THE COLONY

OF NEW PLYMOUTH IN 1643. A

 

[Communicated by NATHANIEL  B. SHURTLEFF, M.D.]

 

The fact that this list of  names is one to which constant reference is had in all genealogical inquiries of  the old families of  the Old Colony, is a sufficient reason for its insertion in this work. As this copy is made from  the one taken in 1813, by the Commissioners appointed by the General Court, the present copyist cannot be responsible for its perfect accuracy. It has, however, been carefully collated with the original, by William S. Russell. Esq., of  Plymouth, the obliging Register of  Deeds, who has the custody of the Old Colony Records. The names distinguished by an asterisk are crossed out in the original.

 

"August 1643. The names of all the males that are able to beare armes from X VI yeares old to 60 yeares wthin the seuerall Touneshipps. B
