The town of Western, established 16 January 1742, came from parts of Brimfield, Brookfield and Kingsfield (now extinct). Not until 13 March 1834 did Western become Warren. Eighteen volumes, including four indexes, comprise this collection.

Town Records of Western, now Warren, 1727-1808+. Book 1.
This authentic volume--with worn pages, and inks of varying intensity--includes town meeting minutes 1727-1808, marriage intentions 1743-1791, marriages ca 1758-1808, and family births and deaths 1727-1812. Though numbers are sometimes elusive, look for pages 378-379 to read a 1774 protest of the tea tax, and page 380 for an 1806 cooperative plan with another town to help keep the Sabbath day holy.
