Medway, once a part of Medfield, became a town in 1713. Presently wedged between Millis and Milford on the east and west, the town is sandwiched on the north by Hollingston and on the south by Franklin and Bellingham. Interestingly, Medway is one of many Massachusetts towns starting with "med" or "mid"; i.e., Medford, Medfield, Middlefield, Middleborough and Middleton, as well as the places once known as Middleberry, Middlesex Gore, and Middletowne.

This collection includes sixteen filmed volumes.

This book is in bad shape. Stains and tape abound, and some ink is very light. Presumably, some of the worn records (those from 1850-1868) are transcripts made to replace burned, original manuscripts. See the indexes above, noting that vital records before 1850 are not included in them. Also, note that late registrations (from 1881-1897) appear on pages 105-106.
