EARLY MASSACHUSETTS MARRIAGES.
PREFACE.
The earliest settlements in Massachusetts were along the coast line; and the territory which became the Counties of Essex, Middlesex, Plymouth and Barnstable, all in Eastern Massachusetts, and extending indefinitely westward and inland, plenty large enough for years to meet the needs of a slowly expanding colony. Except the few isolated com- panies that dared to penetrate the forests, press over the hills and beyond the nearest streams, and there trust themselves to the mercies of impulsive and hostile Indian tribes, a large majority of the inhabi- tants were content to reach out gradually by mastering their immediate foes and subduing by degrees the neighboring wilds, all the while keep- ing within easy reach of the sure aid which at any time might even there become necessary.
.
The territory now embraced in Worcester County was occupied here and there long before its organization in 1731. In the steady march of civilization those sturdy ancestors to whom, through warfare or distant journeyings this region had become familiar, had marked out a number of its most fertile spots for settlement that were later so oft left by will to worthy sons and daughters, who there found for themselves perma- nent and happy homes. Such localities may now be known by the ancient townships, dating back even as early as 1653, when Lancaster was organized and named.
But the interesting and impressive feature of our early and colonial life in Massachusetts, here so briefly told, is that prior to any thought of an organized township, the Christian church, fulfilling to the letter the Gospel spirit, "where two or three are gathered together," had already planted and erected its church, around and in which might center the best aims and ambitions of the humblest community. It gathered the isolated and scattered households for miles around together in an assem- bly, holy in its purpose and far reaching in its aim. At home in the wilderness it brought to each lonely fireside comfort, consolation, good cheer. Its all pervading life and light conquered as nothing else could the red savage in his forest den, persuading even him to submit to its precious ordinances. The faithful pastor kept peculiar oversight of all these people from a supreme sense of duty which was not strictly and conscientiously fulfilled if somehow every name was not recorded by him among his baptisms, on his list of membership, or the eligible among those by him joined in the sacred bonds of matrimony.
Now to these old records of the early Church, carefully gathered by the clergy, mutilated as they sometimes are by years of usage, genealo- gists have been greatly indebted. And it seems very strange that town

PREFACE.
authorities have not seen fit more generally to secure copies of these perishable books and papers, not alone for their better protection, but that the town records might by their aid be made even more complete. Especially evident is this, so well is it known how oft the church records will contain marriages of town people never recorded elsewhere, or the baptism of children whose names at birth never reached the town clerk. It can hardly be said, however, that the Colony or State of Massachu- setts itself has ever been indifferent to the importance of this subject, if we may judge from the number of enactments which its Assembly from time to time has passed. Indeed, fortunate is the man who, seek- ing for his ancestry, is drawn in the search to the old Bay State, since, of all the ancient States, its records as a whole, thanks to an interested people, are the most complete and satisfactory.
For instance we find (and we use as our authority, and to which we are indebted for numerous dates, etc., "Report on the Custody and Condi- tion of the Public Records," by Carroll D. Wright), that as early as Sep- tember 9, 1639, "It was ordered that records be kept of the days of every marriage, birth and death of every person within this jurisdic- tion." Mass. Rec., Vol. I, p. 276. June 14, 1642, another step was taken to secure complete and perfect record, when "clerks of the writs in the several towns were hereafter to record all births and deaths and deliver a return of the same yearly to the recorder of the court belong- ing to the jurisdiction in which they lived. Persons authorized to marry were to return the names of persons married by them, and the date when married, to the recorder of the court nearest their habitation. Such recorders were to faithfully and carefully enroll such births, marriages and deaths as shall thus be committed to their trust." Mass. Rec., Vol. II, p. 15. November 3, 1692. At this time defects in the previous enact- ment were wisely met when "Every justice and minister was ordered to register all marriages solemnized before any of them and make a return quarterly to the clerk of the Sessions of the Peace, to be by him registered." Prov. Laws, Vol. I, p. 61.
In 1693 town clerks were ordered to register births and marriages. In 1695 justices and ministers were ordered to return within three months the names of all persons married by them, to the clerk of the town, he being ordered to register the same. While on December 1, 1716, "Every town clerk was ordered to give in a list of marriages to the clerk of the Sessions of the Peace annually in April, and every clerk of the court was to record the same." Prov. Laws, Vol. II, p. 60.
These several enactments supplementing each other clearly show how well Massachusetts has sought to do its full duty in the preserva- tion of valuable family data, and explains not only how it is that each town possesses so much of this kind, but also why it is that in the various counties of the state the County Clerk or Clerk of Courts, as called, should have in his possession marriage records as herein found.
Worcester County, organized with this law already in force, began to receive from the various towns within its limits such records as both

justices of the peace and ministers possessed. It did not secure the earlier records, which, of course, had gone to the clerk of the county from which Worcester was taken-Middlesex-nor did the law probably secure complete obedience in every case, as it might had some penalty been attached, but it did result in the preservation in compact form of valuable data of ancestors now so earnestly sought for, and which town clerks themselves might not be able from their records to supply.
The period between 1731 and 1785 is covered by two large books filed away in the office of the Clerk of the Courts. The marriages are entered apparently in the order of their reception from the different towns, and not according to any systematic arrangement. The name of the minister or justice of the peace in many cases is recorded, though we have noted herein only such Rev. as occasionally appears. The puzzling handwriting, together with the fact that no index exists, and no order or arrangement in the books, has made the search therein most difficult, and the searcher has, after a fair trial, given up in despair of any reasonable results therefrom.
The following records have been most carefully copied and compared. In a few cases the names could not be determined, and such are marked with an (?). The first and oldest book is contained in this issue. A copy of the second book is on file for reference in hopes of publication at some future day.
