Located in Bristol County, Raynham was incorporated in 1731. It is bordered on the west and south by Taunton, the town from which it was created. Easton shares Raynham's slight northern boundary. Neighboring towns to the east are in Plymouth County and include Bridgewater and Middleborough. Eleven volumes were filmed for this collection of 50 microfiches. Two volumes are town records. The remaining volumes are vital records and indexes.

Raynham Index to Early Records for Vols 1, 2 & 3.

This appears to be an index to the next three volumes. If so, the dates indexed are 1699-1900. However, there are some discrepancies and/or inconsistencies between the index and the volumes supposedly being indexed, especially in regard to Volume 2. It makes one wonder if some records from about 1807 to 1840 are missing. Incidentally, the initials "B", "M", "D" and "I" before entries indicate whether the record is a birth, marriage, death or intention.
