About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1860. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. Note A. (p. 590.) PORT OF ENTRY, CUSTOMS, AND COLLECTORS. It may be a question with the reader, why "measures were concerted in 1809, to secure for the county a Port Of Entry," whereas in 1749 "collectors of excise were chosen for each county by the council and house of reps., and Barnstable was then made a port of entry; but it must be borne in mind that the circumstances of the country have changed from time to time, and the laws have not been uniformly the same.

William Taylor succeeded Gen. Otis, Feb. 6,1779. Samuel Hinckley was in office 1789; and then again Gen. Otis, appointed by Gen. Washington, was collector to the time of his decease. His vson William Otis succeeded in 1810, who was succeeded by Isaiah L. Green in 1814 or 1815. Henry Crocker succeeded to Mr. Green, 1837. Ebenezer Bacon was appointed 1841, superseded by Josiah Hinckley in 1845, Mr. Hinckley holding two years, and Sylvanus B. Phinney receiving the appointment in 1847. Mr. Phinney held 2 years, and Mr. Bacon again appointed in 1849, was succeeded by Mr. Phinney in 1853 who remains to the present time. -- That Barnstable ...
