A John Feveryear taught the town school from September, 1752, to April, 1753, and a John Feveryear was a graduate of Harvard in 1751; naturally we infer they were one and the same person. Christopher Bridge Marsh was graduated from Harvard in 1761, and a man of the same name was a teacher in Medford from March, 1762, to January, 1763. A glance at the list of teachers from 1732 to about 1792 will show several such instances. In compiling the lists of teachers for this paper the dates of the beginning and the end of their terms of service are given, also the year when a person of the same name was graduated from Harvard College. The brief biographical information given is of the man graduated from the college, in the hope that at some future time evidence will be brought forward connecting the two beyond a doubt.
