SOUTHBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS VITAL RECORDS 1727 to 1849
SOURCE INFORMATION ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY FRANKLIN P. RICE, Trustee of the Fund. 1903. Stanbope prcM, B. GILSON COMPANY BOSTON, U.S.A. Publisher's Note. The list of Southborough Births, Marriages and Deaths comprised in this volume includes all which were entered in the Town Books during the period from the earliest date there found to the end of the year 1849. Some additions and corrections of names and dates have been made from the records of the First Church, these being indicated in each instance by proper reference. All of the records are condensed in print as much as is consistent with intelligibility, accuracy, and completeness of information. Differences in duplicates, and explanatory or other matter which seemed necessary or desirable, appear in brackets. Marriages and intentions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties, but the full information concerning each person is given only under his or her name. An asterisk after a marriage indicates that the intention was not found recorded, and in most cases this is accounted for by the fact that neither party belonged in Southborough, and consequently publishment was made elsewhere. When places other than Southborough and Massachusetts are named in the original records they are given in the printed copy.
