Original documents relating to Hampton, NH

The library has been able to scan a number of old documents, some dating back to the founding of the town, relating to Hampton families and town affairs. Most of these documents haven't been either cataloged or transcribed, but we present their images here for your perusal. The old Hampton town records at present only include a few pages scanned from the microfilm copies held by the library, and the quality of these records is poor even in the original. You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer in order to view them. Using this reader you will be able to zoom in on the images to make them easier to read.
