    Notes 
    • "Anthony -- Was one of that band of adventurous pioneers who first made a lodgement with a view to a permanent settlement in this Town in or about 1736. He fixed his abode upon what we now call the 'Orcutt Place'.... There he lived; there he died. He, as well as the first of the Mungers and Moultons, came originally from Salem.... Tradition is very persistive in affirming this, and probably it is true; but Anthony lived a while in what is now Brimfield before settling permanently in this Town.... He was a man of great firmness, and many other sterling qualities." [12]
