INTRODUCTION.
AT its annual meeting in March, 1889, the town of Lancaster made appropri- ation for the preservation in print of its older records of births, marriages and deaths. The publication was by vote entrusted to Doctor Horace M. Nash, town-clerk, and Henry S. Nourse. The latter was designated as editor of the work, and is solely responsible for the manner of its execution.
The returns of the town's first Clerk of the Writs, Ralph Houghton, until October, 1674, were made to the recorder of the Middlesex County Court as required by a law enacted June 14, 1642. A single ragged and discolored leaf of his original manuscript, containing the record of fifty births before 1666, is preserved in the town's archives, having been fortuitously discovered, in 1826, among family papers. More than ten years had elapsed after the setting up in the Nashua valley of the first roof-tree by white men, before Ralph Houghton entered upon his duties as clerk of the writs, and his records are chargeable with some omissions.
The returns of the second clerk, Cyprian Stevens, are found in the Middle- sex Registry duly copied from 1680 to 1687. During the interval of six years in which no reports were made to the recorder, there occurred two bloody raids by Indians upon Lancaster, and a temporary abandonment of the settlement. The lists of the numerous victims in the massacres by savages have been com- piled from various authorities.
Records of marriages in Lancaster, in obedience to a law dated December 1, 1716, began to be annually given in to the Clerk of the Sessions of the Peace for Middlesex in 1718, and are found registered until 1730. Between 1686 and 1726 all regular town records are wanting, a volume having, it is conjectured, been destroyed by fire. During the whole of this period John Houghton was probably the town-clerk. The church records extant open with the settlement of Reverend John Prentice in 1708.
A volume of the ancient records of the town, printed by the editor of the present compilation in 1884, contains in its appendix memoranda of such births, marriages and deaths in Lancaster families, previous to 1700, as could be any-

where found duly attested. To make the present register complete in itself, these memoranda are now reprinted with suitable re-arrangement.
The oldest book containing continuous registry of "Marriages, Deaths, Births and Publishments in Lancaster," was opened by Jonathan Houghton, fourth town-clerk, upon his election to office in 1726. Many earlier dates have been inserted by him and other clerks, probably derived from family memorials. He began his chronicles upon the tenth page, as though reserving room for those of previous years, if by chance any should be recovered ; but his succes- sors used the sheets he left blank for miscellaneous items. This book sufficed for the town's use during about ninety years, and contains three hundred and sixty pages, crowded with a disorderly mass of material, which is here copied without impertinence of alteration in order, orthography or even punctuation.
Until the statute of 1844 enforced a special form of registry, the town-clerks continued the records in two volumes-one devoted to births and deaths, the other to publishments and marriages. With these two books the plan of the present work might appropriately end-thus covering two hundred years from the building of the first house by Englishmen upon Lancaster soil. As, how- ever, numerous items of dates earlier than 1844 are found in a fourth book, and for the convenience of a more definite period, the lists of births, deaths and marriages have been brought down to January 1, A. D. 1850. To perfect this printed register so far as is practicable, not only county, town and church records have been transcribed, when not duplicate, but numerous names and dates have been added from the inscriptions in burial grounds, the bible records of old families, and other sources duly specified.
By comparing the town records with those of the church, or epitaphs, numer- ous discrepancies in dates will be noticed. The frequent omission of middle names by the recorders, and peculiarities in orthography, cause some confusion of persons; this has been remedied, so far as possible, in the index which has been studiously revised.
The first birth certified to by Ralph Houghton was that of Joseph, son of Lawrence Waters, April 29, 1647. As both the Prescott and Waters families were resident on the Nashua two years before, and the births of Adam Waters and Jonathan Prescott were not recorded at Watertown, there is good reason for supposing that they were born in Lancaster during 1645 or 1646. Houghton also omits the birth of Jonas Prescott in 1648.
The first attested death in the town was that of Rachel, infant daughter of Lawrence Waters, in March, 1649.
The first marriage consummated in Lancaster was doubtless that of Jonas Fairbank and Lydia Prescott, in May, 1658 ; for solemnizing which Mr. John Tinker received special license from the court. Before that year the several couples joined in wedlock - after their intention had been three times published

in open meeting, or advertised for fourteen days by a notice affixed to the meet- ing-house doors-were forced to journey, on horseback, to Sudbury, Concord, or even Boston, to obtain some magistrate's seal to the civil contract.
All Marriages in New England were formerly performed by the Civil Magistrate, but of late [1720] they are more frequently solemnized by the Clergy, who imitate the Method prescribed by the Church of England except the Collects and the Ceremony of the Ring .- Daniel Neal's History of New England
For the aid of those who may be unfamiliar with the " old-style " method of reckoning time, it is deemed expedient here to state that, during the lives of the first clerks of Lancaster, the heathen names of months and days were seldom used, the ordinal numbers being substituted therefor. In English Church and Court the year began with Lady Day; March being therefore the first month, and January the eleventh. The present mode of computing time from January I as New Year's Day was already in use in Scotland and other states of Eu- rope, and signs of the growing change in custom are visible in our early rec- ords. In all dates between January I and March 25, it became the fashion to indicate not only the year according to English reckoning, but that recognized in Scotland. The change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar was, by act of parliament, adopted September 2, 1752, when eleven days were dropped, the next day becoming the fourteenth. For all dates previous to that, there- fore, in order to bring them into accord with the present calendar, it is necessary to add twelve days to the date, if before March, 1700 ; or eleven days, if subse- quent to that day. Thus the destruction of Lancaster would be recorded as 10, 12mo., 1675 ; or February 10, 1675-6; or 1645 ; being according to the mod- ern calendar, February 22, 1676.
Words or syllables enclosed in brackets are interpolations by the editor, usually to supply omissions, or to suggest explanation or correction of the rec- ord. The numerals at the left margin indicate the paging of the original books.

TOWN RECORDS.
The veteran town-clerk, Josiah Flagg, in transcribing the subjoined list of births upon pages 198, 199 and 200 of Book I. prefaced it with this statement :
The following is a true copy of a record taken from a leaf of an ancient Record Book which I found among the papers of the late Capt. Hezekiah Gates, who died about fifty years ago.
LANCASTER, March 28th, 1826.
The aged manuscript is in the neat handwriting of Ralph Houghton, the first clerk of Lancaster. A photographic reproduction of the first page, in lineal dimensions two-thirds the size of the original, is herewith presented.
