Known as the Pompositticut plantation when first settled about 1650, Stow became a town in 1683. Surrounding towns presently include Middlesex County towns of Boxborough, Acton, Harvard, and Hudson; and Worcester County towns of Bolton and Harvard.

 

Stow Copy of Births, Marriages, and Deaths 1692-1840. 280 pages.

Note that most of the earliest dates refer to the town of Cambridge, and that some data hides within the book's tight binding. Find, on page 195, clues to the ancestry of Stephen Stow and Susanna Stratton, who married about 1804-- unless she died earlier. Blank pages include 164-173.

Note dates as early as 1692 and as late as 1888 in this record. Though at least half of this book is copied from another source, any data after 1823 or beyond page 161 may be an original record. Of special interest, on page 110, is the bann against the proposed marriage in 1796 of William Jewell, Jr, and Lois Priest--because she is still married to someone else. The book's tight binding hides some dates, with some page numbers skipped; e.g., page 31, and pages 174-179 blank.
