Dartmouth Records 1667-1844: Births, Intentions of Marriage, Forbidden Bans, Marriages, Deaths. The dates of 1667-1844 in the title reflect those of the marriage records. Births and deaths from about 1650-1864, however, also appear in this volume. Except for the forbidden bans, the events in this transcript are arranged alphabetically by surname.

Dates on the edge of some pages are worn away in this old volume.

Transcripts, however, of Dartmouth records in the New Bedford City Hall have the following dates: births 1686-1787, marriages 1667-1787, deaths 1687-1781 and intentions 1726-1787.

Dartmouth Births & Deaths 1750-1844.

Essentially, this is a volume of birth records, mostly before 1800. There are a few associated deaths. Sometimes, the hour, as well as the date, of an event is recorded. A few pages of miscellaneous town records are found at the end of the book.

The scant vital records in this volume are concentrated in the first pages. Most of the town records are minutes of town meetings. Both a transcript and an index to the Dartmouth town meetings of 1674-1787 are located in the New Bedford City Hall.

Dartmouth Town Meeting Records 1777-1790.

Some of this old writing is hard to read, especially where the ink is faded. Most of the entries are minutes of town meetings. Other records, however, are found and include a noteworthy "Act To prevent Monopoly and oppression," which appears at the front of the book. Perhaps some of this book is included in the transcript and index of Dartmouth town meetings 1674-1787 found in the New Bedford City Hall.

Dartmouth Town Records 1790-1844.

There are about 500 pages in this volume. For a typed copy, see the book below. Most of the records are minutes of town meetings. For some reason, there are two sets of records for essentially the same time period. The first set appears to continue from the volume above. The second set starts in 1782, which is eight years earlier than the first set and the title of this volume. Another curious feature is that only a midsection of 272 pages is numbered. Hopefully, there is no connection between these puzzles and the vote in 1829 (page 137) "to dispense with the high School."

Also, the 1836 property taxes come from Marriages 1892-1935, Vol III.

Membership lists are annotated with death dates as late as 1878. Death age and/or birth year are also included for some deceased children.

This volume appears to be two books in one. The first 42 pages are births from 1865-1891, and are referenced as Volume II in the index volume above. They are followed by a few birth depositions, from 1860-1897, which may not be indexed. Next come about 59 pages of births from 1892-1948 (perhaps Volume III), though only those through 1900 are found on this fiche. The volume concludes with an index from 1873-1923 of some, but not necessarily all, entries in the record.
