This current vital records book, compiled from the original six town
books, contains
approximately 3,400 marriages, 5,200 births, and 2,700 deaths.
The original "ancient records of Births, Marriages, and Deaths"
consisted of six volumes,
some of which were in an extremely bad condition.
The six original town books were re-bound into three volumes, forming
volumes one, two,
and three of the vital records of the town.
The records contained in the three volumes appear to have been begun
about 1693,
although a few entries are of previous dates, when John Greenland, who
made the earlier
entries, became town clerk. They are continued until 1842, when the
clerk
began to use separate volumes for Births, Marriage Intentions,
Marriages, and Deaths, which
are collectively known as volume four. The volume of Marriage
Intentions was used until
January 1869; but the use of the others ceased in 1844, when the
standard blanks f
urnished by the commonwealth began to be used, forming the volume now
known as the
fifth of the series. An attempt to copy a portion of the old records
was made in 1851;
but the transcript is faulty and has not been of assistance in the
preparation of this volume.
In the records of the town as they are now constituted. Births,
Marriages, and Deaths do not appear from the time of the
incorporation
of the town in 1649 to the beginning of the book now known as volume
one, the book
in which they were entered, if it ever had an existence, being
unknown ; and there is a
period of about seven years [i 790-1 797], during which Marriages by
the pastors of the First
Church were not recorded. These periods are, however, covered by
contemporary records ;
and additions and corrections are made in the present volume by
information gathered from
them and other sources, as is here stated in detail.
