As to the strangers who are mentioned on our records, I find that Adrian Lubert Andriesse, of Batavia, was born in Boston, Feb. 9, 1799, and baptized at Medford, July 7, 1805.

Of those not of American birth or parentage, I find, besides the slaves and their children, that Jacob Auld, one of the Scotch-Irish, had, by wife Ann, a daughter, Margaret, born Mar. 19, 1750. There seems to have been some Irish families as early as 1745; but these are named in the foregoing list.
