MORGAN-The town was chartered
in 1880 but the first records begin
with the year 1907. There are not
many records of vital statistics back
of 1857 though none have been burned.
There are four burial grounds in town
with no copy made from stones.
NEWPORT-hasto town records from
the year 1870 but vital statistics are
as reported above. None of the rec
ords have been burned. No copies
from gravestones are reported.
TROY-Records are reported as
beginning with year 1853 with no
records therefore of early vital
statistics. This being the case copy
of gravestone records would be very
useful. AS far as known the only
copies thus far mad are from the
two yards at South Troy, portions of
which are now being printed in this
department.
WESTFIELD-Reco begin with
the year 1902, but early vital statistics
consist Of reports made by heads Of
families in 1880. They however cover
the first % years of the town history
probably quite fully. From 1880 to
1857, births and deaths were not very
fully recorded but marriages were
quite frequently put on record. Some
records for 1867 were partially burned
but have been in part at least recop-
led. Copies have been made from all
grave stones in the village burial
ground and from the yard on the
North HILL
WESTMORE- Incorporated 1900.
Records begin 1904. Not many rec
ords of vital statistics back of 1857
exist through none have been de-
stroyed. The town has one burial
ground: no copies are reported as
made from its stones.
