Though settled much earlier, Foxborough incorporated 10 June 1778 from parts of Stoughton, Stoughtonham (now Sharon), Walpole, and Wrentham. Neighbors today include the Norfolk County towns of Plainville, Wrentham, Norfolk, Walpole, and Sharon; and the Plymouth County towns of Mansfield, North Attleborough, and Easton.

 

Foxborough Births, Deaths, Marriages 1778-1819. Vol 1.

Marriage records are scanty, especially after 1799.

Foxborough Births, Deaths, Marriages 1753-1843; Marriage Intentions 1819-1856.

Events before Foxborough incorporated in 1778 are copied, likely, from another volume--perhaps a volume that still exists in Stoughton, Walpole, or Wrentham. In fact, it may be that most of the family names through page 105 came from that same original record--with events beginning 10 June 1778 entered as original records. Note that the family records through page 105 consist mostly of births--with some associated marriages and deaths. Beginning with page 116, however, the character of the record changes somewhat to include more marriages. It is not readily apparent why only some names between pages 4 and 176 are included in the "promiscuous" index. Note that pages 107-108 are missing.
