  • "Sept. 11, 1665. Owannamaug, Indian Chiefe, neere Marlborough complained of Job Tyler, of Roxbury, for cutting and carrying off hay from his meadows. Fined two shillings and six pence & cost ten shillings." (p. 43, from the Massachusetts Archives)
  • 16 July 1669, the selectmen's summons: "his answer was he could not nor would come, but if the Selectmen had more to say to him than he to them they might come to him." (pp. 43-44)
  • "Whereas their has been complaint against Job Tiler, hertofore recorded, he has given satisfaction for that ofence." (p. 60)

William Holbrook" selectman, 1 Jan 1673 (p. 56); Richard Post chosen constable on 1 Jan 1674, with "Mathyas Puffer and Job Tiler, Survayors of hy ways" (p. 57).

Metcalf's guess at John Gurney among the dead (p. 75).
