 Plymouth
Plantation 1620 - 1647
William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation" is a
remarkable work by a man who himself was something of a marvel. It
remains one of the most readable seventeenth-century American books,
attractive to us as much for its artfulness as for its high
seriousness, the work of a good storyteller with intelligence and
wit. Edited, with an Introduction, by Francis Murphy.
Massachusetts
& Maine Families in Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis (1885-1966)
Reprinted in these three volumes are seventeen books that comprise
one of the major achievements of twentieth-century genealogy--the
multi-ancestor compendia (plus Thomas Haley of Winter Harbor and His
Descendants, 1930) compiled and published by Walter Goodwin Davis
between 1916 and 1963. These 2,100 fully-indexed pages
authoritatively cover 180 families, all of Davis's colonial
forebears plus nineteen English families in the immediate ancestry
of American immigrants. One hundred fourteen of these families lived
mostly in Massachusetts; twenty-nine are associated largely with
Maine; and eighteen--Basford, Brown, Clifford, Cram, Estow, Fernald,
Folsom, Gibbons, Gilman, Marston, Moses, Roberts, Roper, Sherburne,
Sloper, Taprill, Walton, and Waterhouse--lived largely in New
Hampshire, primarily Hampton, Portsmouth, or Exeter. Most of the 114
Massachusetts families resided in Essex County, a few in Middlesex
or Plymouth counties, or in Boston.
Twenty
Families of Color in Massachusetts
The author has created a wonderful collection of family histories
spanning the Colonial era to the Computer age. Any student or
scholar of African-American history and or genealogy should add this
fine volume to their own research library. The well researched
material and scholarship of this work will make this volume very
useful to the African-American historians and genealogist for many
years to come.
The
Pioneers of Massachusetts (1620-1650), A Descriptive List
An alphabetically arranged list of approximately 5,000 settlers and
their families, this work contains the names of all persons
mentioned in the records of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
between 1620 and 1650 and in the various passenger lists for the
period. Information given in the genealogical and biographical
notices includes--where known--dates of arrival in America,
occupations, estates, marriages, names and dates of birth of
children, and abstracts of probated wills--embodying genealogical
riches such as names, dates, heirs, family relationships, and places
of residence and death
The
Loyalists of Massachusetts : And the Other Side of the American
Revolution
The standard work on Massachusetts Loyalists, this book was
originally published as a corrective to the then ubiquitous notion
that Massachusetts had been a homogeneous bastion of Patriot
activity during the Revolution. Mr. Stark dispels this preconception
by documenting the trials of Loyalists at various levels of
Massachusetts society, such as those of native-born Governor Thomas
Hutchinson and John Singleton Copley, the greatest of all
18th-century American painters--both of whom abandoned Massachusetts
to live out the balance of their years in exile in Great Britain.
