Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Martha's Vineyard, Dukes County Massachusetts, Vol. 1 of 3: General History
Mrs. Fannie Deane, of Edgartown, has loaned to me several historical papers prepared by her father, and Miss Annie F. Mayhew has rendered me distinct service in many ways, too numerous to mention. To these names I add that of Hon. Howes Norris, who rendered me special aid in the history of his native town.
