      According to Norma, "E. Richardson, the author, said, 'I have taken th e t rouble to arrange the names alphabetically. But their original orde r ma y be
      restored by arranging them according to the numbers which prefix their n a mes; and perhaps, by so doing, their dwelling places may be approximate d ; for, in my opinion, those who made out the list arranged the names ac co rding to their order upon the roads.' If we put the numbers in order , w e have Eleazer, Eleazer Jr., Job, and James Whipple at numbers 15-17. "
