I have transcribed the dates exactly as they are shown in the book. Entries are often not in sequential order by date, but are entered in the order in which they appear in the book. The only change I have made is to separate out births, marriages & deaths into their own files. Because of the length of the files, no town is stated as residence, it can be assumed to be Braintree. --jd] 1643 Henry ADAMES & Elizabeth PAINE m. 17th day of 8th month, 1643 1650 Joseph ADAMES & Abigal BAXTER m. 2nd day of 9th month, 1650 1651 Steven PAYNE & Hanna BASS m. 15 of 9th mo 1651 1653 Samuel STAPLES & Mary BOLES m.
