Vital Records of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, 1642-1896

The town of Rehoboth was formed in 1641 and originally included the present Massachusetts towns of Seekonk and Attleboro as well as the present Rhode Island towns of Pawtucket, East Providence, Cumberland, and parts of Swansea and Barrington. The town kept its original area until 1667, when Swansea was incorporated, from which was broken off the present town of Barrington in 1717. The area became smaller still with the incorporation of Attleborough in 1694, and much later, in 1812, Seekonk. A section of Attleboro called Attleboro Gore was set off to Rhode Island in 1747 and became the town of Cumberland. This database includes records from all of these present-day towns except for Pawtucket and Seekonk, as the compiler wished to limit this work to a single volume. James N. Arnold, whose Rhode Island Vital Record, 1636-1850 volumes are also searchable on NewEnglandAncestors.org compiled these records, which were published in 1897.
