In 1639, Mr. Ezechi Rogers' Plantation was renamed Rowley. The town is surrounded by Ipswich on the south, Newbury and Georgetown on the north and Boxford on the west. Property exchanges and boundary changes occurred among all five towns from 1640 until 1931.

 

This collection includes 19 volumes of data. From 1639 to 1844, there are four volumes of vital records (fiches 1-22). Two of these four volumes are originals and two are transcripts of the originals with added information from other sources, as evidenced by the listing of baptisms. Other baptisms, together with births, marriages and deaths of the early period, are found in a volume of church records (fiches 24-30). The identity of early town proprietors are contained in four volumes of their records (fiches 31-51). Rounding out the early period are five town record books from 1643-1807 (fiches 52-73). For the years after 1843, there is one volume of marriage intentions (fiche 23), one volume of rebellion records (fiche 74) and two volumes of birth, marriage and death registers with an associated index (fiches 75-89).
