Colrain Vital Records to 1850

Location:: Deerfield, MA
Description:: Early Massachusetts communities tried (not always fully successfully) to record all births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths of town residents, enslaved and free. During the late 1800s, the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Essex Institute (now part of the Peabody Essex Museum), and several towns collaborated to collect and begin publishing the extant vital records of over 200 Massachusetts towns and cities, including the town of Colrain, Massachusetts, up to the year 1850. Originally called Boston Township No. 2, it was settled principally by Scots-Irish Presbyterians. The community was known as Colrain by 1745 and incorporated as a town in 1761.
