Oakham Records 1803-1837. Vol 3. Ca 300 pages.

Pages 1-179 are mostly minutes of town meetings. The remaining pages are a mix of miscellaneous town records (e.g., fence divisions, pew deeds, certificates of church affiliation) and vital records. The vital records include births and deaths arranged by family, circa 1773-1843. Separate registers of deaths (ca 1810-1837) tell that an epidemic of spotted fever took several lives in March 1810. Marriage publishments circa 1805-1837 and marriages circa 1813-1836 are recorded. The last page in the volume is a medical license issued in 1818 to Simon Jacobs.
