A law enacted 1642 required the town clerk to record births.
A law enacted 1716 required the town clerk to record marriages.
Town records for 1686-1726 are missing, supposedly destroyed by fire.
Existing church records begin 1708.
The first birth recorded was Joseph Waters, in April 1647.

The first marriage in
Lancaster
was Jonas Fairbank and

Prescott, in May 1658.
The oldest town book containing continuous registry began 1726. Many earlier dates were
inserted by the clerks, probably
