JDT-D058 · Dow family notes from Salisbury records

2 photographs

A handwritten compilation headed “Salisbury Records,” including a January 6, 1713 marriage entry and family dates. The additional view preserves folded leaves and overlapping entries. These are research notes quoting earlier records; the dates in the text do not establish when the notes were written.

JDT-D059 · Ox-common marsh shares, 1708, and reverse-side notes

3 photographs

Folded docket, opened list and reverse of a paper concerning marsh or ox-common shares drawn in 1708. The numbered list names shareholders and bears a copy certification by Samuel Dow, clerk. Other panels carry handwritten recipes and notes in different orientations; those panels are preserved as photographed.

JDT-D060 · Early Hampton grantees and settlers: research booklet

6 photographs

Cover headed “Names of some of the early grantees and settlers of Hampton N.H.” with Joseph Dow’s name beneath it, together with notes concerning Henry Dow and Stephen Bacheler and views of the folded leaves. The notes recount earlier events; they are presented as historical research rather than contemporary seventeenth-century records.

JDT-D061 · Religious manuscript, folded leaves and paper detail

3 photographs

A small folded manuscript with a religious passage beginning “St. Paul says,” accompanied by an edge view and a close-up of the embossed paper mark. The writer and date are not established. The adjacent physical views are kept together as the supplied sequence.

JDT-D062 · Stephen Bachelder to John Sanborn: deed transcription

3 photographs

Docket and two written views of a transcription concerning Stephen Bachelder and his grandson John Sanborn, including a house and land at Hampton. The text carries a 1647 date and a 1723 recording notation. Those dates belong to the copied instrument and recording reference, and do not independently date this transcription.

JDT-D063 · Elizabeth Moulton receipt, 1726

1 photograph

Receipt acknowledging money from her brother John Moulton associated with their father John Moulton. The supplied view includes Elizabeth Moulton’s mark and a May 13, 1726 notation.

JDT-D064 · Perkins children: agreement and court confirmation

1 photograph

Copy of an agreement concerning the care and portions of three children of Abraham Perkins junior, with Elizabeth Perkins named. A court confirmation at Salisbury dated April 8, 1679, and Thomas Bradbury’s copy certification are visible. The document’s account is retained without inferring additional family relationships.

JDT-D065 · Penciled memorandum headed 1876

1 photograph

Brief penciled notes headed 1876, including a Nancy Towle entry and other names or dates. A crossed-out entry remains visible. Several readings require closer examination, so no complete transcription is assigned.

Photographs supplied by Whit from the recovered collection. Descriptions are finding aids. Dates quoted in research notes and transcriptions are distinguished from the date of the surviving paper.
