EXPLANATIONS

1. When places other than Worthington and Massachusetts
are named in the original records, they are given in the printed
copy.

2. In all items from town records the original spelling is
followed, and no attempt is made to correct errors appearing in
the records or to harmonize conflicting names or dates.

3. The various spellings of a name should be examined, as
items about the same family or individual might be found under
different spellings.

4. Marriages and intentions of marriages are printed under
the names of both parties. When both the marriage and in-
tention of marriage are recorded, only the marriage record is
printed ; and where a marriage appears without the intention
recorded, it is designated with an asterisk.

5. Additional information which does not appear in the
original text of an item, i.e. any explanation, query, inference,
or difference shown in other entries of the record, is bracketed.
Parentheses are used to show the difference in the spelling of a
name in the same entry, to indicate the maiden name of a wife,
to enclose an imperfect portion of the original text, and to sep-
arate clauses in the original text — such as the birthplace of a
parent in late records.
