Death Records of Colrain, Massachusetts, 1724-1932

These records were originally in the form of notes and cards made by Mrs. Katherine Holton Cram. They were later compiled by Oscar Frank Stetson, of Barrington, Rhode Island. About forty years of Colrain vital records were destroyed by fire, and Mrs. Cram spent many years searching alternative sources in an effort to locate these records.

Mrs. Cram also compiled birth and marriage records of Colrain, which are also available on NewEnglandAncestors.org.

The town of Colrain was established in 1761. It is in Franklin County.

The original manuscript is part of the R. Stanton Avery Collections. It can be viewed by NEHGS members at the our research library in Boston. The call number is MSS COL 14.
