Weymouth, settled in
1622, was known as the plantation of Wessaguscus,
Wessagusset or Wichaguscusset. It was the first grant of
land within the Massachusetts Colony. In 1635, the name
changed to Waymouthe. Bounded by Boston Harbor to the
north, neighboring towns include Hingham on the east,
Abington and Rockland on the south, and Holbrook and
Braintree on the west.

The Weymouth vital
records are some of the most orderly kept in the
Commonwealth. This allows easy identification of the
contents of the volumes. As in most other towns,
however, many of the volumes contain records besides
those indicated on the cover and/or spine. Some of the
earliest records are too worn and faded for easy
reading; 1860 data is also very faded. This collection
of 35 volumes includes: early births, marriages and
deaths 1633-1845 (6 volumes, fiches 1-25); marriage
intentions 1790-1889 (6 volumes, fiches 26-58);
proprietor and town records 1642-1836 (5 volumes, fiches
59-82); military records 1840-1931 (5 volumes, fiches
83-97); and vital records with associated indexes
1843-1900 (11 volumes, fiches 98-142).
