Nourse A. M. 1884 Subject: Early Births Recorded at Lancaster, MA Source: The Early Records of Lancaster, Massachusetts by Henry S. Nourse A. M. 1884 Parts 1 thru 4 of 4 p.313 The first birth noted by Ralph Houghton is that of Joseph Waters in 1647. It is quite possible that earlier births than this were unrecorded, for in previous pages it has been shown that Prescott and Waters families were here in 1645 and 1646 and to each a son was added during those years. Perhaps Adam Waters was the first white child born in Lancaster and Jonathan Prescott the second. YEAR MO DAY NAME PARENTS 1645? Adam Waters Lawrence & Ann (Linton) 1646?
