Burial-place research & township bounds

Little reports on the search for John Dow’s burial and suggests parish and church records to investigate. This is a separate letter from the Merrill letter addressed to Little in the previous gallery, although both concern the same research topic. All supplied views remain together, including the reverse and the blurred paper-mark detail.

A further letter to Miss L. E. Dow reports an unsuccessful search for John Dow’s gravestone at the old Byfield burying ground. It records other Dow inscriptions and mentions a one-dollar charge for travel and searching. The letter heading gives September 28 without a year; the accompanying envelope supplies the 1895 postal context. Envelope front and back, the open letter, individual pages, and details are preserved.

A handwritten copy of an agreement concerning the bounds of Hampton and Salisbury, including the Merrimack River and Haverhill bounds. A note states that the agreement was copied from the Hampton Records and bears the initials J. D. The date 1655 belongs to the agreement being copied; it does not establish the age of this manuscript. The complete front, reverse, and four details are retained; two sideways details are rotated for reading.
