For the attention of Robert Anderson. Dear Mr Anderson, I refer to the undated list appearing at the beginning of the Cambridge (Newtowne) Town Records - The Towne [ ] Newtowne Inhabitants then Tho = Dudly Efqr mr Symon Bradftreet mr Edmond Lockwood mr Daniell Patrike John Poole William Spencer John Kirman Symon Sackett In the entry for Simon Sackett in The Great Migration you date this list as "probably from 1632". A plaque in Cambridge states - "SETTLEMENT IN NEWTOWNE By July 16, 1631, eight houses were completed and occupied by Dudley, Bradstreet, Lockwood, Poole, "Capt." Patrick, Spencer, Kirman, and Sackett." It seems clear that whoever caused the plaque to be erected used the Town Records as a source (notwithstanding the switching of the names Patrick and Poole). My question concerns the date. Do you have any information, perhaps discovered after publication of the first volume of The Great Migration, concerning the source of the date July 16, 1631? Sincerely, Chris Sackett
