• Notes

  A well authenicated tradition relates that Stephen Manchester was engaged to Grace before they came to New Marblehead, and that her parents, objecting to the intimacy existing between the two, decided to emigrate to New Marblehead, thinking that the young people would soon forget each other. In this expectation they were doomed to be disappointed, for, in the the space of two short weeks, came young Manchester (the fourth settler in New Marblehead) in search of his best girl. Having found her, he made assurance doubly sure by marrying her in the course of a few weeks.
