Many towns in MA. made it aacorss the border into NH, until firm lines were
settled.
For instance, Dunstable, MA. and Dunstable, NH existed side by side along the
border. Now only Dunstable, MA. remains.
I think oneof the mainproblems with information on the LDS web site is the
fact that so many names from OLD England came to be New England towns, and some
are just note familiar with this part of the country. It can be confusing
when it is stated that someone was born in Dorchester, MA with a date in the
1500's...more reason for confirming all information :)
