1785. These three towns now border on the south and
west, while Hadley, Hatfield, and Williamsburg surround
the town on the north and east. This collection of

town records are found and names abound in this
transcript of the original record above. A sampling of
the types include: proprietor and town meetings, land

wolf bounties. Additionally, noteworthy events are
recorded; e.g.,the impoundment of the town bull, and an
anniversary town meeting on 6 March 1737/8. Referenced
page numbers are enclosed in parenthesis below.
