VITAL RECORDS OF Bolton, MASSACHUSETTS, To the end of the year 1849. WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS : PUBLISHED BY FRANKLIN P. RICE, Trustee of the Fund. I9IO. t. OUKM I I tiKlVliKll'l Y /)73r?77 Stanbope ipteeft COMPAMV r. H. CII'SOH BOSTON. U.S.A. ^ 'I li'.ViHVIKil'J Publisher's Note. The list of Bolton Births, Marriages and Deaths comprised in this volume includes all that were found in the Town ?ooks covering the period from the earliest date there recorded to the end of the year 1849. Some additions have been made from other sources, and these are indicated in each instance by proper reference. All of the records are condensed in print as much as is con- sistent with intelligibility, accuracy, and completeness of infor- mation. 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 is not found recorded, and in many cases this is accounted for by the fact that neither party belonged in Bolton, and consequently publishment was made elsewhere. The double date is used in the months of January, February and March prior to 1752 only when it so appears in the original, and instances of the modern form after 1725 are not uncommon. When places other than Bolton and Massachusetts are named in the original records, they are given in the printed copy.
