Dear WRG: The following is an excerpt of an article which appeared in the "Berkshire Genealogist", Volume 22 Number 2, Spring 2001, page 56-58. The "Berkshire Genealogist" is published quarterly by the Berkshire Family History Association, Inc., Pittsfield, Mass. ( http://www.berkshire.net/~bfha/index.htm ) Notes: I have capitalized the surnames for emphasis. The author wrote the dates in numerical form as DAY-MONTH-YEAR, which can cause errors while recording. Therefore, for clarity I spelled out the date in parenthesis.

[p57] A collection of early Dalton papers compiled by the late Donald Baldwin included a comprehensive listing of the Perez Marsh family.
