Colchester was established in 1698 and settled soon after that by, among others, Michaell Taintor, who was for many years, the town clerk. Charles M. Taintor extracted from the town and other records all of the vital records and many other of the more important deeds, etc. from the settlement of the town to as late as 1787 (most records are much earlier). These he published in 1864 in a small volume, which is now exceedingly rare and never before reproduced. Nothing in this book is arranged in any semblance of order, either alphabetically or chronologically. Therefore, the listings presented are only a rough guide to the contents of the book. Miscellaneous town records, deeds, grants, and conveyances, vital records ? births and marriages, reports of stray livestock, poll lists. A clean very presentable copy with little library use.
