Town Clerks .- The General Court of Plymouth Colony. in 1646, made the following law concerning the office of town clerk :
" It is enacted by the Court, That there shalbe in every Towne within this government a CLARK, or some one appointed and ordained to keep a REGISTER of the day and yeare of the mar- riage, byrth, and buriall of every man, woman, and child within their Township."
The same authority, in 1671, added,-
" And the Town Clerk or Register keeper of every Town shall exhibit a true and perfect copy into March Court annually of all the Marriages, Births, and Burials of the year past.
" And lastly, That the Town Clerk shall publish all Contracts of Marriages in the Town."
Although Middleboro' was incorporated as a town- ship in June, 1669, no record has been preserved of the election of a town clerk until William Hoskins was unanimously chosen to that office, May 24, 1681, and the town in its corporate capacity agreed with him that his compensation for keeping its public records should be a load of fish, taken at the herring weir and delivered at his house, for each year's service. He probably served as town clerk about twelve years, being succeeded in that office by John Bennet, who was elected thereto March 28, 1693. All town records
kept in Middleboro' from the date of incorporation, June, 1669, to the commencement of King Philip's war, in June, 1675, were lost in that war, and prob- ably burned by the Indians, which accounts for the deficiency of a public record for the first six years in this town's history.

Deputies to the Plymouth Colony Court .- John Morton represented the town of Middleboro' at the Colonial Court of Plymouth in 1672, and again in 1673, and he was succeeded by John Thompson in 1674 and 1675, when, the English settlement at Mid- dleboro' being entirely broken up by King Philip's war, no deputy appears thenceforth to have been chosen for that town until 1680, when John Thomp- son was re-elected to that office, and served seven years, viz., to and including 1686.
Then came the troubles with and interruption of the government by Sir Edmund Andros, during which Middleboro' had no deputy, and the records of this town, in common with those of many other towns, show a hiatus. From 1689 until 1692, Isaac How- land served the town of Middleboro' as a deputy in the Colonial Court, when what had been the colony of New Plymouth became a part of the " Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England," and dep- uties were thenceforth known as representatives to the Great and General Court.
