     The following record* is from a leaf from an old account book which
     was badly torn. The handwriting is apparently the same as that of the
     earlier entries in the old Bible just given, and was

     probably that Deacon Alden Blodget. The imperfect records
     indicate the torn edges and the data in brackets has been
     supplied from authentic records of the family.

                              November 2 1749
     [Jo]shua Blodget and Hannah Alde[n] were married

     Joshua Blodget's bo[rn] January 10 1722

     These last two items were most carefully, even beautifully written.

     *This record supplements the account of the family of Joshua5 Blodget
     (Joshua4 Samuel3-2 Thomas1), which was published in the Nebraska and
     Midwest Genealogical Record, Vol. II, p. 121, and it also corrects
     three statements, the birth dates of the fourth and ninth children and
     the name of the eighth child. In Sept. 1926 Mr. Edwin A. Blodgett,
     Springfield, Mass., sent the record of this family to May (Bennett)
     Avery, compiler of the above article, as he had copied it from the
     records at Stratford, Conn. Disagreements are probably due to errors
     in copying.

     ÝMr. Blodgett's copy reads "Oct. 15th, 1756." This is plainly an error
     in copying.

     ýMr. Blodgett's copy reads "Sept. 23rd, 1762." This is evidently an
     error in copying; her older sister was born Sept. 23.
