Excerpt from History of Hadley: Including the Early History of Hatfield, South Hadley, Amherst and Granby, Massachusetts With not a little reluctance, at the earnest desire of his family, shortly after Mr. Judd's decease, did I consent to complete the work commenced by one, who has well been styled, the distinguished antiquary of North ampton.
