The book contains transcriptions of hand-written property and boundary descriptions, as well as records from proprietors' meetings. The detailed descriptions discuss divisions of property in Barnstable during the 18th century, including lot sizes; property lines and abutters; land set aside for schools, highways and meeting houses; minutes of proprietors' meetings; and settlement of disputes. Certain parcels passed by inheritance to sons, or in some instances to widows, but in no case is a daughter identified as an heir (although it may sometimes be inferred that a son-in-law may have inherited shares). Minutes of proprietors' meetings reveal that our ancestors were frequently as resistant to bowing to the will of the majority as some people are today. No other resource (except the original record and the few copies of this book, published in 1935, still in existence) provides details found in this edition. The every-name index, which appears in this edition only, includes both names and locales that help to identify properties delineated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author, a native-born Cape Codder descended from eleven generations of many of the early families who settled this town in 1639, has spent most of her life in the town of Barnstable.

In addition to these, town cemeteries were established at several locations near the original meeting houses and elsewhere. The various gravestone inscriptions were originally recorded by Pauline Frances (Wixon) Derick of South Dennis. Recordings by others were also found and included in the compilation. Where the stones are slate (or of ancient design), a description of the stone is included. All inscriptions and epitaphs are as complete as possible. The oldest stones date from the early 1700s with information regarding the earliest settlers in the region. The cemeteries that are included in this book are: Howes, Dennis Village (map), Hall, Scargo Indian, Paddock, Worden, Quivet, Sears (map), Quaker, Ancient South Dennis, South Dennis Congregational Church (map), West Dennis (maps of parish ground and Methodist church sections), Baker, Wixon, Swan Lake (map), and West Harwich Baptist Church. The cemetery maps and an every-name index make available as yet unpublished information for anyone researching New England families, specifically those of Cape Cod ancestry.

The inscriptions include the name of the deceased and, when available, the year of death and\/or birth and the names of spouses and children. Additional commentary identifies such items as: who the deceased is buried next to or the family plot in which he or she was buried; the condition of the tombstone as a result of weather, time or vandalism; and stones that were difficult to read. Supplementary information provided by the compiler includes: military involvement of the deceased, epitaphs, status (widow, infant, doctor, etc.), religious affiliation, and age at death.
