"Town of Weston," These are records of the Town Clerk of Weston, Massachusetts from 1804-1826. The following summary is from the Preface of the book.
PREFACE.
This volume of Town Records follows the date of the one printed in 1893. It covers the entire period during which Isaac Fiske was town clerk, from March, 1804, to March, 1827. As in the previous book, it is intended that this one should be an exact transcript of the record, extending to matters of punctuation and capital letters, even when these are obviously incorrect. The town clerk, however, did not always copy with minute accuracy; for he sometimes allowed. himself to change the spelling of a person’s signature. The most careful of town clerks, Dr. Benjamin James (1827-1846), made a copy of the births, deaths, and marriages, recorded in Weston, for the use of Dr. Henry Bond. He stated this to be verbatim et literatim. Yet, in the very first entry he changed the initial letters of “ Daughter ” and “ Was ” from capitals to small letters, and made the punctuation what he thought it ought to be. The most interesting papers on file for these years have been printed in an Appendix. This gives nearly sixty pages of additional matter. Two very full Indexes of the whole have been made, which will render it easy to And any name or subject alluded to in the book. In the Index of Names, abbreviated names have generally been printed in full. In the census of School Children, there were some mistakes in the original lists. Several of these have been indicated. Some others, suspected, could not be readily proved. Many of these names have never been entered on the list of births, and become especially important on that account. The editor will be glad to receive corrected lists at any time. The numbers in brackets indicate the pages of the original book. The abbreviations [L. S.] in the manuscript were sometimes enclosed in brackets. They have always been so printed, for the sake of uniformity. All other matter in brackets has been added by the editor.
A name in the previous volume, page 103, about which some uncertainty was felt, and which was finally printed James Boos, was probably intended for James Boor. No trace of him could be found in Newton, where he was said to have been carried in 1768 ; but, in the County Records, James Bourn is said to have been warned from Newton, 1763. This is probably the same person. The knowledge was obtained too late for a note in the previous volume. Some papers alluded to in the record are not now on file. If town papers are still in the possession of private persons, it is to be hoped that they will be promptly delivered up.

"Twenty-Fourth Report of the Record Commissioners, Boston Births, 1700-1800," Rockwell & Churchill, City Printers, 1894. This volume takes up the birth in the town of Boston at the date reached in the ninth report and contains all the births after 1699 recorded in two volumes of manuscript. It is needless to say that the record is approximately perfect only to 1745; after that date the number gradually diminishes till it becomes a small fraction of births, which, of course took place. Indexed as a convenience to the reader, but does not necessarily bring together all the different forms of spelling of every name.
