| General note | Erroneously attributed to the Rev. Samuel Webster (1718-1796) by Bristol and Shipton & Mooney, who date this [1790]. Although the drownings occurred in 1790, typographical evidence suggests that the broadside was printed well after that date. Perhaps printed at nearby Worcester, Mass. |
