Program at Old Colony Historical Society in Taunton on Saturday January 21

The program is "Rivers, Landing Places and Home Lots: Genealogy and Geography" and it begins at 2:00 pm. Two genealogists will examine selected items from Taunton's earliest documents, often called the Proprietors' Records. The presenters will show how an examination of maps of the early settlement in conjunction with records from the first town clerk, the Leonard Ironworks and other contemporary sources can suggest details about the everyday life of Taunton's first citizens.
