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.
