Spencer Births, Marriages, Deaths 1744_1823. Vol 1. About 277 pages.

Most data is legible, in spite of worn pages and faded ink. Beware, however, of some incorrect dates; e.g., births of Pliny & Wilbur Allen (p 126) probably should be 1802 and 1805, not 1892 and 1895; death of one Melinda Allen and birth of another (p 143) probably should be 1796, not 1896; birth of Julia Perce (p 167) probably should be 1816, not 1876.

Page numbering is an enigma. Before page 27, only 19 pages are found, all without numbers. Between pages 50 and 53, 14 pages are inserted. After page 234, numbering is irregular.

Spencer Town Records 1744_1780. Vol 1. About 360 pages.

These records show that the present-day town of Spencer was known from 1744-1753 as the West Parish of Leicester, and from 1753 to 1775 as the district of Spencer. Besides meeting minutes of 1744-1780 and vital records of 1715-1772, this book includes such miscellaneous records as 1771 pew sales, 1777 price controls, tax abatements and religious tax exemptions, stray animals and ear marks, road descriptions, 1779 military needs, town accounts and assessors records. Of special interest are the tombstone inscriptions of Thomas and Abigail White (fiche 12), and the note that more than two feet of snow fell on 26 Oct 1765 (fiche 11).
