[Note from Lois Yorke, Manuscripts Division- " 'Perkins' indicates that the source of Smith's information is Simeon Perkins, an early and important Queens County diarist. His daily journals have been published: The Diary of Simeon Perkins, ed. H A Innis, D C Harvey and C B Fergusson (Toronto: Champlain Society, 1948-58, 5 vols). 'Long' refers to Robert James Long, a Queens County historian, his Annals of Liverpool and Queens County 1760-1867 (West Medford, MA, 1926) was privately circulated in an unpublished format."]
