Acknowledgements
The editors wish to acknowledge the advice and encouragement of President Donald Friary, John W. Tyler, Editor of Publications of the Colonial Society, and its Committee on Publications, early readings of the manuscripts by Conrad Edick Wright and Robert Anderson; permission to reproduce the documents from Massachusetts Historical Society Directors Dennis A. Fiori and Catherine Allgor, as well as the Reverend Joy K. Fallon, Minister of Kings Chapel. The expert staff of the Massachusetts Historical Society was ever helpful, particularly Elaine Heavey and Sabrina Beauchanp. Jane Ward assisted in copy editing the manuscript, Julia H. Otto prepared the marvelously comprehensive index, and Jeanne Abboud provided the design, which echoes the beauty of the original church records.
