37. Noah West married Abigail Blay, both of Newbury, Oct. 16, 1745. On the record of births in Newbury is recorded: "William Blay, son of Noah Blay and Abigail his wife, born January 21, 1746" (probably 1746-7). This William Blay is undoubtedly William Blay West, son of Noah West and Abigail Blay. Not being accustomed to writing middle names the town clerk wrote, inadvertantly probably, as the father's name, Blay instead of West. This is probably the William Blay West who lived in New Gloucester, Me.Ed.

EDITORIAL.

This number completes volume one of THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN. There have been published the wills proved in Essex county before 1644; the gravestone inscriptions in the present town of Amesbury before 1800; the genealogies of families from Abbe to Acie, inclusive; the record of the Essex county Revolutionary soldiers and sailors from Abaaham to Andrews; and abstracts of the old Norfolk county records to 1655. The publishers are gratified at the support given them in their endeavor to present a magazine of Essex county history and genealogy with some degree of completeness. They expect that the new year will produce even better results.
