In the back of the book there are about 14 pages of miscellaneous records of births, deaths, and marriages. I do not believe these are official records, but just something he jotted down every so often. His name was Alfred Brooks Dascomb, and he was in Waitsfield, Vt from Dec. 1860 to October, 1867; Woodstock, Vt from Dec. 1867 to Feb. 1874; Winchester, Mass. from March 1874 to July 1878, and Bellows Falls, Vt from June 1879 to 1893. I posted some of these records on Northeast Roots list awhile back, but thought that maybe some of them may help people searching in Vermont. My ancestor did not have the best handwriting in the world, and between that and the fact that the book is rather old, I am not quite sure of some of the names, but have done my best to decipher them. This first batch comes from a some marriage licenses that were stuck in the back of the book. They are much more complete than the rest of the listings written into the actual journal.
