  • Notes 
    • In early colonial records the name of John Death's father was variously spelled: D'Aith, D'Aeth, and D'eath. Many ofhis descendants had it legally changed to Dearth, so while the name was common in that locality years ago, it has now practically disappeared.
    • Mr. Death was actively interested in town affairs, serving as a selectman for eleven years, and represented Sherborn in the General Court for six years.
