Dighton Births, Marriages
and Deaths 1695-1790. Book 1.
|
|
Whereabouts of the
original record transcribed here are not known. The
earliest date, 1679 (page 29), notes the Boston arrival
of Samuel Waldron from Coventry, England. The earliest
marriage is that of Jared Talbut & Rebekah Hathway
in 1687 (page 20). The few deaths in this book usually
relate to family births. Some marriages, also, are found
with the birth records, but most marriages and
intentions are listed separately--though often
interspersed among the family records. For additional
indexing, see fiches 34-54.
