Excerpt from History of the Town of Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, From Its First Settlement in 1657 to 1861: With a Brief Sketch of the Town of Northborough, a Genealogy of the Families in Marlborough to 1800, and an Account of the Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town IN preparing the following pages, I have labored under many disadvantages. The early Records of Marlborough are very meagre, so far as historical mat ters are concerned - the most of the space being occu' pied by the location and description of grants of land. Besides, one volume of their Records has been lost; so that we have no connected record Of town officers, or of the proceedings of the town, from 1665 to 1739. We have been enabled to supply some of the defects from the Records of the Proprietors of the Town, and from the Book kept by the Proprietors of the Indian Plant ation. But as these Records relate principally to their lands, they do not give us full information relative to town affairs. Nor have we had any connected Church Records, to supply the deficiency. Many facts have been collected from the Colony Records, and from the Massachusetts Archives, a valuable collection of papers of almost every kind, and on almost every subject, in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. I have not learned that there are any collections of old papers, containing historical information, in the pos session of any of the old families of Marlborough. Doubtless there are such papers, containing important information, but I have been unable to find them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
