EXPLANATIONS
The following records of births, marriages and deaths include all entries
to be found in the books of record kept by the town clerks; in the church
records; in the cemetery inscriptions; and in private records found in
family Bibles, etc. These records are printed in a condensed form in which
every essential particular has been preserved. All duplication of the town
clerk's record has been eliminated, but differences in entry and other
explanatory matter appear in brackets. Parentheses are used when they
occur in the original record; also to indicate the maiden name of a
married woman.
When places other than Carlisle and Massachusetts are named in the
original records, they are given in the printed copy. Marriages and
intentions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties. In all
records the original spelling of names is followed, and in the
alphabetical arrangement the various forms should be examined, as items
about the same family may be found under different spellings.
