[edit] Township vs. town

While there isn't a present day Roxbury Township, there was a historical one, see [1]. The source was rather specific, it did not say through the town, but through the township, which would have been relevant at the time of the events. Thoughts? IvoShandor 03:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Based on poking around the U.S. census website it would appear that Roxbury is an unincorporated community in "Roxbury town" which the Census defines as a "county subdivision" (which is what a township is in other jurisdictions). I would be interested in finding out from someone who lives near there. I am just going on what I am reading in the census stuff.IvoShandor 03:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I have just been changing it to near present day Roxbury, since its not clear they went through the actual town site. IvoShandor 21:40, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
