Description
Excerpt from A History of Chatham, Massachusetts, Formerly the Constablewick or Village of Monomoit: With Maps and Illustrations and Numerous Genealogical Notes
In order to avoid the circulation of false reports, I will state that my original purpose never contemplated bringing the history down to the present date. To do this merely requires time and patience in compiling from abundant and easily accessible materials.
I wish to express my obligations to Mr. Josiah Paine of Harwich, whose long and careful researches into Cape Cod history have made him the highest living authority upon that subject. I am also indebted to Mr. And Mrs. Osborn Nickerson, Mr. James M. Young, and Miss M. IL Luce for the privilege of consulting valuable family papers, and to Hon. James W. Hawes of New York for encouragement and assistance in the collection of materials. The late Rufus Smith, Esq, also furnished me with valuable facts and papers.
