Sudbury Plantation was settled in 1838 and incorporated in 1639. By 1651, boundaries between Sudbury and Watertown were established. In 1701, boundaries were established between Sudbury and Framingham. The original plantation was divided into two separate towns on April 10, 1780. The western portion retained the original name of Sudbury while the original geographical location of the town, was called East Sudbury by order of the General Court. The name of Wayland was adopted in 1835. The town honored Dr. Francis Wayland, fourth president of Brown University, and author on moral philosophy, intellectual philosophy, and political economy, by choosing his name for their own.
The death records can be found in the printed versions entitled Vital records of Sudbury, Massachusetts, to the year 1850 and Vital records of Wayland, Massachusetts, to the year 1850. Both volumes can be located on Internet Archives for keyword searching: https://archive.org/details/vitalrecordsofsu00sudbur and https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028839657#page/n5/mode/2up
If a surname cannot be found in the printed version, check the handwritten book pages. Remember surnames are not necessarily spelled the exact same way year to year, town clerk to town clerk or generation to generation. Try various spelling forms when searching any surname. Transcribers may have a difficult time interpreting various forms of scrip, so check to see if an "n" is transcribed as "rr", "u", "m" or an “e”, “o” and an “a” could not be differentiated.
