{"page_1": " Wed. July 2, 1980\nDear Marvel -\nTo follow through on our conversation at your house on Monday -\nPhotocopy of list of Green Mt. Boys in N. Y. enc.\nMy edition of \"New England Families\" by Wm. Richard Cutter\nis one\nyear later than yours, ie 1914.\nThe matter of Elizabeth J. Emerson who m. Selah Thomas\nDunstable:\nNo Elizabeth is mentioned in either of these books. The list of Emersons is - Allen, Asa, Daniel, Hannah, Jonathan, Joseph, Lucinda, Mary, Polly, Rachel, and Roxana.\nThe name Thomas appears \"a servant\" (no doubt a slave), and Dr. the following partial quotes I am let to think 4D# your line\nmay be Tyngsborough (Mass).\n\"The following Revolutionary soldiers belonged to that part of Dunstable which subsequently became the town of Tyngsborough -\"\n-------------\"Asa Emerson\"\netc. etc.\non p 217 \"History of the Town of Dunstable\" 1877 (see the list) the following and only mention of Thomas: i Bateets tale with DE. Thomas of Tyngsborough,\nTo help you if I can I include from another book:\nOn Jan.\n1,1837 Dunstable officially became Nashua.\nThe change of\nname had been discussed for some time and was a logical move because of the accelerated growth of Nashua Village. It had become very\nconfusing\nto have two towns with the same\nname next door to each\nother\nThere was a long controversey\nand mixups in mail happened quote ofteni.H. line and of\ncourse Dunstable was in the middle not knowing in\nthose days which\nof the two provinces\nIt seams the division\nof the\nto Dunstables was made in the\n1740's but the confusion and\ncontroversy went on\nand on for years. (my sentence, not a quote)\nFrom all I have read on the whole history it would seem that the further records would be in Nashua, Hollis towns if N. H.,\nDunstable of Tyngsborough, Mass;\nas all that and more were\nthe\noriginal Dunstable lands.\nHope in some small way this may be of help.\nFondly\nEmma "}
