Vital Records of Jefferson, Maine

This handwritten transcription of the original records of Jefferson, Lincoln County, Maine, was compiled in 1908 by Harold L. Bond. The town of Jefferson was incorporated in 1807. An excerpt from the introduction to the manuscript follows.

"The first volume of the town's records covers the period from incorporation to 1819, the second volume from 1819 to 1830. A small, thin volume entitled 'Records of Births and Deaths in the Town of Jefferson, Lincoln County, State of Maine,' evidently written about 1820, is marked inside the front cover 'Volume 3rd of Records.' The records that follow have been copied from this book. The author appears to have been James Sinclair, an Englishman, who was town clerk for a number of years, but there have been many subsequent additions to it."
