Marshfield Town Records 1642-1831. Book 2A. About 300 pages.

See the table of contents for the general types of data recorded in this book. Most of the town records appear to be original records. Of special interest are vital record indexes, land grants, and "marks." Generally "marks" recorded in a town book refer to ear marks that identify four-legged animals. Here, even marks on whales are registered! The land grants help determine who settled in the town, and when. Entries for the indexes of birth, marriage and intentions were mostly transcribed from Book 2, though some may also have been copied from Book 1 and Book 3.
