Ditto Harold's suggestion with this one bit to add. The original birth record is held in the town clerk's office in the town in which the event occurred. Typically a birth record of this era will be a handwritten entry among others on the page in a bound volume. It is prudent to call the town clerk's office in advance to ask what their fee and other requirements are. You will want to stress that you want a copy of the original, not a typed summary or abstract. This is not always possible due to the condition of some of the very early records.
