A REPORT


OF THE


RECORD COMMISSIONERS.


The Twenty-eighth Report of the Record Commissioners contains the marriages recorded on the town records of Bos- ton from 1700 to 1751, collated with the Book of Banns for nearly the same period, with some additions from other authorities.


The preparation of this book and the proof-reading of the text have been the work of my special assistant, Edward W. McGlenen, in whose accuracy I have the fullest confidence. His special report is subjoined.


WM. H. WHITMORE, City Registrar.


BOSTON, Oct. 25, 1898.

CITY DOCUMENT No. 150.


WILLIAM H. WHITMORE, EsQ., City Registrar :


Having been charged by you with the work of preparing the record of Marriages in Boston between 1700 and 1750, and of seeing the book through the press, I beg leave to submit the following abstract of the result.


The records hereinafter printed are principally copied from two volumes of Boston marriages, in the custody of this department.


The first volume, of 188 pages, contains the records from 1689 to 1720 (pages 1 to 34, inclusive ; entries previous to 1700 were printed in the ninth report of the Record Com- missioners).


This book begins with page 35 of the manuscript record written by Joseph Prout, town clerk from 1701 to 1721.


On page 26, of the first volume, is the following note :


" The Several Marriages Contained in this, and the two foregoing pages, were carefully collected out of the wast[e] book (written by Capt. Ephr. Savage) in ye Time of his being T[own] Clerk) & haveing digested ye same into Aphabetticall order are as here recorded the 19th of Aug. 1709.


P JOSEPII PROUT Town Clerk."


A similar statement appears in the ninth volume of the Record Commissioners' Reports, compiled by William S. Appleton, Esq., containing the birth, marriage, and death records of Boston from 1630 to 1700.


These two statements will answer the inquiry often made of this office as to the existence or non-existence of con- temporary records of these facts.


The records in Prout's own period are written in such a manner as to indicate that he did not record day by day, or week by week, but in periods of one or more years, arrang- ing the entries in alphabetical order.


The second volume, of 269 pages, contains the marriage records from 1721 to 1751, and is in the handwriting of three town clerks. The entries were made by Samuel Checkley from 1721 to 1734 (pp. 1-118) ; by Samuel Ger- rish from 1734 to 1740 (pp. 120-201); and by Ezekiel Goldthwait (pp. 202-269).

A REPORT OF THE RECORD COMMISSIONERS.


Both of these volumes have recently been preserved by facing the pages with silk, and have been rebound in red morocco. The pages measure 8 × 122 inches, and the vol- umes as bound 102 × 15 inches.


The publishments, or intentions of marriage, from 1707 to 1751, have been compared with the records and all differ- ences of spelling noted. No earlier publishments are pre- served.


The Purposes of marriage, printed on pp. 348-50 of this volume, were taken from an original waste book, in which were also entered : Boston Births, 1693-96; Marriages, 1695-97; and Deaths, 1693-96, in one part; while in the other were noted shipments of cattle and their marks.


These parts have been separated and rebound ; the portion containing the records of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, etc., 90 pp., has been silk-faced to preserve it, is bound in black morocco, and is 6 × 133 inches in size.


Those intentions for which no subsequent record of mar- riage appears have been printed separately.


These publishments are in four volumes, and the entries merely give the names, date, and town, nearly all being of Boston. The names of parents were never given.


These volumes measure 7 × 8 inches in size and are bound in green morocco.


A volume bound in vellum contains a "Record of Mar- riages for the County of Suffolk, 1716 to 1731."


The Boston marriages recorded in this book have nearly all been found properly entered in the town records. The returns of marriages from other towns have been printed in full.


This volume is 11 x 163 inches in size.


A note in this volume reads as follows :


" BOSTON, March 6, 1879.


This volume was received from the clerk of the Supreme Judicial . Court, in the county of Suffolk, under a resolve passed by the Legis- lature, which took effect February 19, 1879.


N. A. APOLLONIO, City Registrar."

CITY DOCUMENT NO. 150.


The copies of church records in the custody of this depart- ment have been searched, and all marriages not appearing in the town records have been printed for what they are worth, as the accuracy of the copying cannot be vouched for.


The original records have been closely followed; some duplicate entries may appear, though they have been avoided when possible and when they have not differed. The orig- inal returns have also been consulted in many cases.


A few marriages were found among the files of papers of the Suffolk County Court, and others from the personal record book of Rev. Thomas Cheever.


It should be noted that some marriages within the period covered by this publication, that do not appear on record, will be found in the volume of marriages from 1751 to 1809 now in progress.


All double-dating ends with this volume, for by Act of Parliament the year 1752 commenced on January 1.


Many inquiries are made regarding double-dating, and the change of the year from the Old Style to New Style. No better authority can be quoted than the late Hon. James Savage, the Nestor of New England genealogists :


[" For the time of births, marriages, or deaths in each family I have labored assiduously to be correct, in hundreds of cases finding wrong dates given, and commonly without hesitation supplying the true. Where baptism is fixed, by a decent record, weeks, and even months before the date of birth, no fear in injuring the town clerk's credit can restrain belief in his mistake. But the copious source of vexation is the variety growing out of the Old and New Styles. In many thousand in- stances, I have turned to the perpetual almanac, to be sure that the day of baptism was truly, or not, recorded for Sunday, since the rite could, in the first century of New England, be performed only on that day. By this many printed errors may be corrected. As children are often seen to be baptized in January or February of the same year, by the ancient legal reckoning, that gives the parents' marriage in April or May, several weeks before, in our modern reckoning of the months, instead of so many months after, it is easy enough to put that right by calling those winter months not of the eleventh and twelfth of the old year, as the statute absurdity required. Uniformly my chronology begins the year with 1 January : but to produce harmony between dates for the month of March is sometimes very difficult. A few town officers began to change the numerals for the year with the opening of the month, daring to ask, why the first month of 1679 should allow 24 of its 31 days to be drilled under old 1678, while the perverse will of the rulers in fatherland postponed the new-year's day until the 25th; and some records may be found, where the year ended in December; but this monstrous innovation did not begin before 1700, and the startling truth made irregular progress up to 1752, when Lord Macclesfield en- lightened the legislature, and Chesterfield charmed it into consistency." Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England. Vol. I., p. ix. of Preface.]

A REPORT OF THE RECORD COMMISSIONERS.


[" Until the commencement of the present year [1752] all legal papers and instruments bore date corresponding with the 25th of March, as the beginning of the year. This year, in conforming to an Act of l'arlia- ment of last year, was begun on January first ; and by the same Act it was ordered that eleven days should be struck out of the following September; that is, the third should be called the fourteenth, which made the equinoxes and solstices fall on the same days as they did at the Nicene Council, in the year 325. This change in the style of dating occasioned the use of the terms Old Style and New Style." Drake's History and Antiquities of Boston, p. 633.]


MY DEAR MR. MCGLENEN :


If I may be allowed to put Mr. Savage's ideas in a little simpler form, I should say there was no standard of usage in our Colony for the first thirty or forty years. In Boston, as already noted, our earliest records are a compilation of later date, and are therefore no contemporaneous evidence of the usage.


In Dorchester, the First Church Record was evidently made year by year and month by month prior to 1657. That is to say, March seems to have been always numbered as the first month (see printed page 167 of the Church Records).


Baptisms are recorded regularly and consecutively as follows :


16 day 10 mo. '55 6


11 15 3 66 66 '56 '55 13 11 '55 10 12 '55 16 1 '55 27 2 '56


Here it is very evident that the 11th and 12th months, " '55," were January and February of 1656 by present reckoning, and that the 16th of the first month, " '55," was the March, 1656, the next month following that February.


At the end of the year 1656 (Ibid., p. 168) we find entries made 1 day 1 mo. '56/'57 8 4 1 " '56/'57


the next year we find


21 day 12 mo. '57 28 1 4 '58 9 3 " '58


but in "'59 " we have


27 day 12 mo. '58 13 "


10 “ 2 1 4 '58/'59


'59


From these examples and others it seems that the clerk did not fol- low the refinement of calling March 1st to 25th inclusive 1657, and March 26th to 31st 1658. The whole month was called the 1st month, though really the chronological year was that of the succeeding months 2 to 10. Or more briefly, the first month (March) always followed the 12th month (February), and the three months January, February, and March belonged to the next year, by our current reckoning.


The practical result is this, where we have a single date given as the first month, in the 17th century, without any surrounding entries to show the chronological position, it will almost always be safe to double-date it. In fact, a genealogist should always describe a date in March as of


viii


CITY DOCUMENT No. 150.


two years, say 1655-6 ; if he merely gives the latter date, 1656, the next copyist will attempt to explain it and make it 1656-7. I have seen many cases of this blundering. If we have two distinct entries, one of a mar- riage in April or May of any year which is to be connected with a birth in the first month of the same numeral year, it is common sense to under- stand that the birth occurred ten months after marriage, and not two months before.


Of course the 11th and 12th months always referred to January and February of the next year according to our reckoning.


WILLIAM H. WHITMORE, City Registrar.


It has taken very much more time to prepare this volume than was anticipated, but the nature of the work prevents it from being rushed. The index alone contains nearly twenty- five thousand names, and of itself represents more work than the average report requires.


The remaining marriages prior to 1800 have been pre- pared in the same manner as this volume, and a large por- tion of the book is in type.


Respectfully submitted, EDWARD WEBSTER MCGLENEN.
