The land area in Bristol
County now known as Berkley was originally part of
Taunton. In 1712, most of that area was taken from
Taunton to become part of the newly formed Dighton. In
1735, Berkley was established from portions of Dighton
and Taunton. Both of those towns, as well as Lakeville
(Plymouth County), Freetown and Somerset are current
neighbors of Berkley. There are eight volumes included
in this collection.

Berkley Town Records
1735-1768. Vol 1. 278 pages.
The town records include minutes of town meetings, lists
of jurors and town payees, and animal records from about
1735-1768. Births, deaths, marriages and intentions from
1670-1824 are interspersed with the town records; most
are found after page 160. Duplicates of those vital
events dated before 1735 may have been recorded also in
Dighton, Taunton or other towns.

Berkely Town Records
1770-1804. Vol 2. 371 pages.
Besides town records from 1770-1802, vital records as
early as 1757 and as late as 1834 are found in this
volume. Also, a copy of the act establishing Berkley in
1735 is included. It appears that the pages after #163
were mistakenly numbered, resulting in two different
sets of pages identified as 124-163. Later, most of the
pages after the second #124 were correctly renumbered,
but the original number was also retained. On pages with
two numbers, therefore, the higher number is usually
correct. If there is only one number on any page after
the first #163, verify its accuracy be checking
adjoining pages. In most instances below,
"correct" numbers have been used.

contained in this volume are: births and deaths

Perhaps it is the transcripts that are faded.
