The earliest entries of births,
marriages and deaths at Scituate are
found in Volume IV of the town
records. This book is
subdivided into four parts, paged
independently. Part I contains
many marriages between 1700 and
1800, with a few in the preceding
century; Part II, the earliest
marriages: Part III, births; Part
IV, deaths, with a few pages of town
accounts.
Come of the leaves of this volume are so badly worn
that many of the entries are
illegible. Fortunately the
"Church Book" of the First Church,
covering the years 1707-1791,
contains many records of marriages
and baptisms by Rev. Nathaniel
Pitcher and his successors. A
comparison of the two books has
enabled the transcriber to perfect
every record found on the first four
pages of Vol. IV. The parts
supplied from the Church Book are
enclosed in parentheses.
The original paging of teh town record is indicated by
numerals enclosed in brackets placed
brfore the first word of the page.
