  4. The Haverhill record is clearly taken from the Bradford data ("Bradford R[ecor]ds"), so there is a difference in the transcription of the Bradford record. The NEHGR article offers a transcription, not a sorted, isolated record, and the Nov 1789 marriage is between a marriage in Sep 1788 and a marriage in Jan 1789 followed by others in 1789, stopping at 5 May 1789. Thus, it appears the NEHGR transcription is the incorrect one. Based on what appears to be the town copy, it can be seen to be the last marriage recorded before 1789, so 1788.]
