Sue,
Contact the librarian at Dartmouth, if no one can help from NEHGS search. I suspect that the the way to really know what years your person was selectman is to figure out who the selectmen were in the years in-between the dates listed.

Subject: [MAMiddle] Reference to Selectman years


Greetings Middlesex Listers,
I'm working on a homework assignment and came across a reference that I'm
not sure exactly what it means. I'm taking a genealogy class and each
student was given a different family in the 1930 Census of Stevens County,
Washington. One line of my assigned family (Morrison family of Daisy) is
the Felch's of Gloucester and Reading.

In William Cutter's Historic Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal
Memoirs of Middlesex County page 407 (on Google Books), he refers to Henry
Felch (son of Henry Felch) as "a selectman in 1647-48-51-81 in Reading". Do
these years mean 1647, 1648, 1651, and 1681? Or, is there another
interpretation, like 1647-48 or 1647-51?

Once we are done with our individual projects, they will be kept by the
Northeast Washington Genealogical Society and I would like to have this
accurately recorded.

Appreciate your assistance. Now, if anyone is going to the NEHGS on Newbury
Street in the next week or two, I would like to ask for a lookup in a book,
Town of Wheelock, A Gift to Dartmouth College. If it is possible for someone
to help with this, please email me off list.
