This town in Plymouth
County, incorporated in 1711, was originally a part of
Duxbury. The first saw mill in Plymouth Colony was
established here. It had no competition for forty years.
Later (ca. 1814), cotton and woolen mills were
established. A map of the town in 1831 is shown on fiche
30.
|
|
The books filmed for this
collection include a variety of documents. Besides vital
records, there are town meeting minutes and other town
manuscripts, land transactions, and records of
Congregationalists and Quakers. Also found are Rebellion
(Civil War) records, accounts of personal property
sales, and pauper registers.

This is a book of town
and vital records circa 1715-1791. It may be referenced
as volume IV. Marriages (about 1724-1791) are
concentrated on pages 326-333, 340-345, 372-373 and
377-397. Births (about 1722-1790) are mainly on pages
334-340, 346-369 and 398-457. Most deaths (about
1715-1791) are on pages 370-371 and 374-376. Curiously,
some indexing is done by given name, rather than by
surname. Because the ink is so badly faded, many pages
are hard to read.

is given for many of the dead. Some of the marriage
partners were from other states and some of the
marriages occurred in homes or meeting houses outside of
