GEO. S. HUTCHINGS, BOSTON, MASS. Builder of many of the largest and most famous Organs in America. SEND FOR CIRCULARS. HISTORY OF BILLERICA WITH A GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, Published in 1882, has borne the test of use and critical examination, and approved itself as one of the best of the town histories. The early history has prominence, details being drawn from the well-preserved records of the town, with important additions gathered from the Massachusetts Archives, the Middlesex Registry of Deeds, Probate Records, and other sources. The Genealogical Register embodies all births, marriages, and deaths found in the town records prior to 1800 (in fact to 1840). All families bearing the names Farmer, Jefts, Kidder, Kittredge, Pollard, Shed, and Toothaker, whose lines in this country go back to 1700, will find their American progenitor in Billerica. Extensive branches were also here of the families of Crosby, Danforth, Farley, French, Frost, Hill, Manning, Parker, Patten, Richardson, Rogers, Stearns, and Whiting. To the sous and daughters of Billerica, scattered through the land, and to the large and increasing number who are interested in our local history and genealogy, this volume is confidently commended as worthy of their attention and patronage. It is a handsome octavo of 520 pages, and sold in cloth binding or in sheets, at the low price of $3.00 and cost of delivery (by mail 25 cents).
