Sterling Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850
The following compilation of births, marriages, and deaths includes all entries found in Volumes 1 and 2 of existing Town Records. Entries have been prepared in condensed alphabetical form in which all essential particulars have been preserved. Marriages are listed under the names of both parties; duplicate entries have been eliminated; original spellings of names have been followed. It is suggested that all alphabetical arrangements of surnames be examined. With a few exceptions, the vital records range from 1781, to 1848. No notice of Intentions of Marriage is indicated in this book, since many of the actual marriages did not take place in Sterling or were not recorded in the Town books by interim ministers.
