| About Randolph, MA: Vital Records to 1875 Randolph, Massachusetts was incorporated as a separate town from Braintree on March 9, 1793. The vital records for this town were transcribed by Waldo C. Sprague from the original records held at the Randolph Town Hall, and the cemeteries of Randolph and Holbrook, Massachusetts. These transcriptions are part of the collection donated from the estate of Mr. Sprague in 1962 to NEHGS. The original Vital Records of Randolph he consulted include: Vols. 1-2: Containing all the vital records of the Town of Randolph up to 1850 or later. Vol. 3: Town records, (1843-50) are copied into a separate volume. These would have been the returns sent to the Secretary of State’s Office after statewide Vital Records were required in 1841.
