Samuel, jr. and Hannah (Page), Jan. 14, 1732-3.1732 Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts, United States Birth Haverhill Vital Records of Haverhill, Massachusetts to the Year 1850 Published by the Topsfield Historical Society Topsfield, Mass., 1910. Newcomb & Gauss Printers Salem, Massachusetts EXPLANATIONS The following records of births, marriages and deaths include all entries to be found in the books of record kept by the town clerks; in the church records; in the returns made to the Salem Quarterly Court; in the cemetery inscriptions; and in private records found in family Bibles, etc. These records are printed in a condensed form in which every essential particular has been preserved. All duplication of the town clerks' record has been eliminated, but differences in entry and other explanatory matter appear in brackets. Parentheses are used when they occur in the original record; also to indicate the maiden name of a married woman. When places other than Haverhill and Massachusetts are named in the original records, they are given in the printed copy. Marriages and intentions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties. Double dating is used in the months of January, February and March, prior to 1752, whenever it appears in the original and also, whenever from the sequence of entry in the original the date may be easily determined. In all records the original spelling of names is followed and in the alphabetical arrangement the various forms should be examined, as items about the same family may be found under different spellings. HAVERHILL The Indian name for this locality was " Pentucket" - but the early settlers applied the name of Haverhill in compliment to Rev. John Ward, their first minister, who came from Haverhill, England. "Mr. Ward & Newberry men " petitioned the General Court on May 13, 1640, for permission to begin a new plantation on the Merrimack river, which was granted provided " they build there before the next Courte." Though the town was settled and houses erected in 1640 it was not until November 15, 1642, that a title to the land was purchased of the Indian owners. In June, 1641, the Court appointed men to determine the bounds 'between Salsberry and Pantucket alias Haverell." In 1643, a law was passed by the General Court requiring a record to be kept of births, marriages and deaths in each town and in Haverhill, Richard Littlehale was chosen "clerk of the Writs and Town Recorder," and the first meeting of which proceedings are recorded was held November 6, 1643. In 1645 the plantation of Haverhill was incorporated as a town. An island in the Merrimack river was granted to Haverhill on May 23, 1650. October 14, 1651 bounds were established. October 19, 1654 bounds between Haverhill and Salisbury were established. May 18, 1664 bounds between Haverhill and lands of Maj. Gen'l Dennison were established. December 8, 1725 the western part of the town was included in the new town of Methuen. The population of Haverhill at different periods was as follows : 1765, 1,980. 1820, 3,070. 1776, 2,810. 1830, 3,896. 1790, 2,408. 1840, 4,336. 1800, 2,730. 1850, 5,877. 1810, 2,682. 1907, 41,242.

(Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2011), (Typescript abstraction of original town record books and other sources by Priscilla Hammond. "Vital records of Plaistow, New Hampshire: compiled from the town's original record books 1726-1871 and other sources. Earliest and latest dates recorded 1652-1905," 1937. R. Stanton Avery Special Collections, NEHGS, Boston, MA.) The town of Plaistow, New Hampshire, was originally part of Haverhill, Massachusetts, before its annexation to New Hampshire. It was chartered as a separate parish in 1749 and the town was established in 1761. These records were abstracted by Priscilla Hammond of Concord, New Hampshire, in 1937.From the manuscript: "The following records of Plaistow families were secured from a voluminous manuscript notebook in the possession of the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord. In checking over and comparing these records with those already secured from the town's original record books much additional information was found. It is believed that the information from the manuscript notebook was compiled from church records, later town records, and records from neighboring towns about Plaistow as well as private sources. In order to save repetition only such information as was not included in the original record books of the town is set down in the following pages so when a page is mentioned please refer back to that page in order to have the full information concerning a family all together."
