Vital Records to 1850 – Princeton, MA

Description

The list of Princeton, Births, Marriages, and Deaths comprised in this volume has been prepared under the direction of Francis E. Blake, Esq. of Boston, to whom the Publisher is indebted for much assistance and many valuable suggestions. The materials have been several times revised and compared with original authorities.Some additions to the names and dates found in the Town Books, complied from church records, burial inscriptions, and from various other public and private sources, are incorporated with the official entries, these being indicated in each instance by proper references.

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 the intention was not found recorded, and in most cases this is accounted for by the fact that neither party belonged in Princeton, and consequently publishment was made elsewhere.
