Dates are generally expressed by number of year, month and day. Figures in parenthesis following a name indicate husband or wife. Other figures denote kindred; thus " fa 964 " appended to a person's name would mean that his father's name is numbered 964.The labor of preparing this list of names from number 108,5 to 1281 was largely done by the late deacon Alfred Wood.The first thirteen names following, beino, those of present or recent members, are repeated from the volume of 1854
