Excerpt from An Alphabetical Abstract of the Record of Births, in the Town of Dedham, Massachusetts, 1844-1890 When this work was begun it was found that there were about four hundred children who did not have any christian name upon the record. I took special pains to obtain as many of these names as possible, and have obtained the christian name in about one hundred and sixty cases.
