All duplication of the town clerks' record has been eliminated, but differences in entry and other explanatory matter appear in brackets. Parentheses are used when they occur in the original record; also to indicate the maiden name of a married woman. When places other than Salisbury and Massachusetts are named in the original records, they are given in the printed copy. Marriages and intentions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties. Double dating is used in the months of January, February and March, prior to 1752, whenever it appears in the original, and also, whenever from the sequence of entry in the original, the date may be easily determined. In all records the original spelling of names is followed, and in the alphabetical arrangement the various forms should be examined, as items about the same family may be found under different spellings. As Salisbury and Amesbury have been so closely connected, both socially and geographically, it will be desirable to examine the records of both towns when making researches. The town records from 1690 to 1743 are entered in the old Norfolk County Court book, formerly kept at Salisbury, but now at the Clerk of Courts office, Salem, and are here designated as records from the Norfolk County Court book.
