Note 1015 — Chapter VII · (continued 2)

There are large extracts from these Archives in the Winslow Papers (Mass. Hist. Soc.). North Amer. Rev., 1848, p. 231. There is usually scant, if any, mention of them in the published town histories of Massachusetts. In Bailey’s Andover (p. 297) there is some account of those sent to that town, and a copy of a petition (Mass. Archives, xxiii. 49) from those in Andover and adjacent towns to the General Court, urging that their children should not be bound out to service. Cf. also Aaron Hobart’s Abington, App. F., and “Lancaster in Acadie and Acadiens in Lancaster,” by H. S. Nourse, in Bay State Monthly, i. 239; Granite Monthly, vii. 239. More came to Boston in the first shipment than were expected, and New Hampshire was asked to receive the excess. N. H. Prov. Records, vi. 445, 446.
