Alphabetical indexes to the vital records of Medway, Massachusetts, up to the year 1850, supplemented by information from church registers, cemetery inscriptions and other private sources to include Rev. Dr. Jacob Ide’s account of Marriages and Deaths, 1814-1849.
Hon. Thomas Murdock moved to Norwich from Connecticut in 1767, marrying Elizabeth Hatch and raising a family that included six children. Prominent in local affairs, he held various positions before his death in 1803. His sons, Asahel and Constant, were active voters, with Asahel eventually returning to Connecticut. Jasper, also a son, built an impressive residence at Norwich Plain. The estate changed hands over the years, influencing the town’s development, and remnants of it, including a fish pond, remain part of its history.
