Sudbury, volume 1, 1676-1779, births, marriages, and deaths. Wayland, Mass.

Massachusetts originally had no state wide standard for recording birth, marriage or death information. The vital records were kept haphazardly in each community until 1841 when the state required a copy of each event be sent to the state office. These records were created between 1641 to 1830. It is not necessarily a complete record, but it records many of the births, marriages and deaths of Sudbury and then East Sudbury, which comprises part of Wayland's history. The time period covered in this set is 1677 to 1780.
