Early records of the township of Orange, from 1807 to 1845

Preface

The following pages comprise the conients of the Record Book of the Annual Town Meetings of the Township of Orange from 1807 to 1845, the same being reproduced as nearly verbatim as modern types wiil allow. To these is added interesting extracts from the old Township Committee Book for the same series of years, and other interesting matter.

The old record books were discovered by accident in the Orange National Bank building and were republished in the columns of The Orange Chronicle.

Not the least interesting of the contents of this little book will be found the personal notes of the old residents which have been prepared with great care. They will be found to contain about all that is generally known of the old time officials of the ' Township of Orange." That some errors will inevitably creep into such an attempt at biographical sketches goes without saying, but it is thought that as a whole they are complete and reliable.
