We have a wonderful resource for historians and genealogists at the Taft Public Library in Mendon, Massachusetts. In our archives, available on the first floor of the library in the Lorna Rhodes Genealogy Room are…
- Binders with information from Mendon’s cemeteries.
- History of Mendon and many other Massachusetts towns.
- Vital statistics from most Massachusetts towns dating back to beginning 1800s.
- Genealogies of Mendon families along with bound histories of early settlers. (Because Mendon was the ‘mother town’, families of Blackstone, Grafton, Hopedale, Milford, Millville, Northbridge, Upton, and Uxbridge may have roots here.)
Anyone coming into our library to research the archives are reminded to bring notebooks and a digital camera.

I am searching for data on the parents of Deborah Thayer, b. 16 Dec 1741 in Mendon, d. 15 Nov 1815 probably in Uxbridge, MA. I have used ancestry.com and google and cannot find her parents, is there some mystery in finding who her parents were. Ancestry records has some names but theyare in correct. any help would be appreciated. Maxwell Andrae, andrae27@yahoo.com. My wife Patricia comes down from the Wheelock line. Thanks

Posted by taftpubliclibrary | May 3, 2012, 11:32 pmI live in Alabama, so visiting will be a difficult proposition. I am attempting to find documents that show that Jonathan Gove Cass (1722-??) was maried to Abigail Salisbury (1726-1767) and had a son named Nathan Cass (1767-1841). By chance, is there any online documents I may view in this area pertaining to the Cass linage (Cass, Hobbs, Gove, Blake, Salisbury, Whipple, and/or Wilmarth families)?
Thanks,
