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.

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.

its new items. For instance, the accidental death of
Jonas Stratton is reported on page 36; Israel Gates is
asked to help support his "Daughter Whitney" and her
children on page 50; seating assignments in the
meetinghouse are given on pages 165-166; families are
assigned to various school districts on pages 185-187;
Abel Brown is given money to support his mother on page
318; and the burying place of Luke Brooks (third tomb to
the right of the gate in the old burying ground) is
described circa page 345.
