EXPLANATIONS.
The
records in this book are transferred from the original town records, and
include the District of Southfield, now part of Sandisfield. These records
were copied from the Town Books and verified by the Reverend Elisha L. Sawyer,
former town clerk of Sandisfield, and again verified with the originals by the
present compiler, Captain Elizur Yale Smith.
The same orthography is followed as on the original books,
but in some few cases, the present compiler has added, under births, in
parentheses, the maiden name of the wife, as for instance: "SMITH,
Stephen and Polly (Mary Canfield)." This was done in cases where it was
positively known to the compiler, from existing records.
HISTORICAL NOTES.
The town of Sandisfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts,
was established March 6, 1762, and was originally known as Township Number
Three, having been granted to a company who petitioned for the same in 1735,
but no family moved into the town until 1750. On Feb. 10, 1819 the District of
Southfield and the Town of
Sandisfield
united as the Township
of
Sandisfield. On April 9, 1838 part of the common lands called the East Eleven Thousand
Acres was annexed.
On May 4, 1853 bounds between Sandisfield and Tolland were
established. On April 24, 1875 part of the town was annexed to Monterey. On May 19, 1875, Act of April 24, 1875, this was accepted by
Monterey. On June 1, 1875 the Act of April 24, 1875 took effect.
