	Whole number of Deaths prior to 1832_ 432 _						It may perhaps appear singular to persons not acquainted with all the circumstances in refer ence to this record; that there is no date annexed to the names of those individuals who deceased pre vious to 1810_or to the greater portion of them
	The number of persons recorded on each page will will usually be found inserted at the bottom						The reasons why those names recorded previous to that time are not not better arranged, according to their several dates + the dates of their decease in more instances correctly no- ted are the following—
							There never was a legally organized Religious So ciety in this Village previous to 1830 altho there was a regurarly organized Church as ear ly as 1769–70 — Neither was there a Clergy man that considered himself as strictly set over this Church + people_+ as solely devoted to them until Oct 5^th 1831
							Previous to 1804 No record of deaths was ever kept at all save what was kept in the Church records embracing only the names of those that were members of that body
							In AD 1797 I had collected the names of all those per sons who had died prior to that date and

kept an accurate record for the succeeding 10 years.							In the column devoted to the record of diseases the following abbreviations may some times be found
In the summer of 1807 the Register(with other pa pers) was purloined from me + were concealed or destroyed + Icould never afterwards recover them

L C Liver-Complaint
I considered my object as hopeless relative to furnishing a Register of this description + abandoned it for the three following years–
By the solicitations of some valuable friends I was induced to recommence it in 1810
From my own personal recollection previous to that year + from extraneous assistence + from the prompt record which I have ever uniformly kept since, I indulge the humble belief, that this Register relative to the number of individuals deceased _ with the date of their decease whenever it is inserted + the diseases likewise that closed their days, is substan tially correct—
That it is so, I have the sanction of several per sons who are abundantly competent to to decide in the case + whose veracity can not be questioned_ W^m W Dewey
