Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 9., The first book of records, Medford, Mass. (search)
five or thirty pages of the first book of records are unfortunately lost, probably from carelessness about loose and decayed sheets. These words are reiterated by Usher in his later work, evidently taking it for granted that this was true without making any study or consideration. While I have the greatest respect for the Rev.
