(Cataloger's note: According to Charles Hudson's History of Lexington, Vol. I, p. 291-292, "...[Charles Hudson] found the name of Lexington and the character of the deeds performed on her Common were quite as fully appreciated beyond the limits of the State as within its borders. He found no difficulty organizing a corporation consisting of a president and an acting board of directors in Massachusetts, with one vice president from each of the New England states, and one from every other section of the country...")
