==Note==
In [[Appendix B|The Tale of Years]] the first event listed for [[Shire Reckoning|S.R.]] 1427 is the resignation of Will Whitfoot.  Since mayoral elections in [[the Shire]] occurred on Mid-year's Day<ref>{{FR|Ordering}}</ref> which is after [[25 March]] (corresponding to the first day of the year in [[Gondor]]<ref>{{App|Calendars}}</ref>) it is assumed that all of the events shown above did occur in Fourth Age 6.
