The first marriage in town was David Lyford to Judith Heath, July 23, 1795, by James Morse, Esq.
2nd was Solomon W. Osgood to Ruth Marsh, January 3, 1800, by Joseph Fisher, Esq.

The first child born in town was a daughter, to Thomas Blanchard, October 3, 1787. The
2nd was a daughter to James Blanchard, born April 1, 1788; died April 14, aged 14 days; the second death in town.

The first death was that of Nathaniel West, killed while chopping in the woods for Benjamin Webster, in the winter of 1786. He was crushed by the falling of a large birch tree. He was carried to the house, but lived but a few minutes. He was buried in what is now the pasture of G. W. Webster. The place is pointed out by a large maple tree. I am told there were six or seven buried here, but the graves are not discernible. The town continued to bury in different places. There were several graves in the pasture of Lenie J. Walbridge.
