  1. This image is written in very old script and appears to be done very near to the time of the original. The beginning page of the book is unreadable. The entry reads "abigall Daughter of Jefrey parsons born by sarah his wiff ?? 25 of mar - 1678" - Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988, Town and City Clerks of Massachusetts. Massachusetts Vital and Town Records. Provo, UT: Holbrook Research Institute (Jay and Delene Holbrook).
  2. This image is from a book that has a forward explaining the disposition of the contents that is written in the same hand that our entry is written, and is dated 1850. The entry reads "Foster Abraham and Abigail Parsons m 11 july 1699 by Mr Emerson". At the bottom of the page it says "copied from a transcript made several years ago" - Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988,Town and City Clerks of Massachusetts.

  3. This image is from a book with no date. The script is written in an older style but more modern the the original would have been.
