Excerpt from The Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts: 1629-1818; A-J
A few cases will be met with of a baptismal name in capitals beginning a paragraph and followed by a group number only - the insertion of the details concerning suich persons unfortunately having been deferred by the author for reasons unknown to us. Ebenezer Wade 10 is a case in point. There are also a very few cases in which a hiatus occurs in the enumeration of the groups in a family where no omission of matter appears to have been made. The Shed family furnishes an illustration of these lapses, there being no group numbered 3. These cases are presented, however, as they stand in the author's manuscript.
Some families were found to be so numerous as to require special indices. These are placed at the beginning of the articles, and refer by group number to every head of a family, whether his name stands as the head of a group or occurs within one as having contracted marriage.
