Originally published in 1908, Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire is a solidly researched precursor to the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire . Author Charles Henry Pope relied on colonial, town, church, court, and other contemporary records to create a list of original immigrants to the area and compile biographical information for each. Organized alphabetically by surname, the book includes an index of names not treated with their own entry.

Vibrant threads of ambition and persistence run through the five Finn generations detailed in this truly American story. This volume traces the line of descent from Peter Finn (ca. 1800–ca. 1847), a tenant farmer in County Longford, Ireland, through three generations, to the eleven children of William Joseph and Katherine Irene (Mullen) Finn of Canton, Massachusetts. William (1881–1942) was a Canton textile mill owner whose grandfather, James Finn (1825–1871), left Ireland for Massachusetts, alone, in 1841 as a teenage pauper.

The surname Goodwin, meaning “God’s friend,” originated in medieval times in England. Thomas Putman Goodwin’s ancestors were spirited risk-takers: early planters, seafarers, fishermen, and entrepreneurs. Their story is one of determination, capability, and courage. Thomas is a Mayflower descendant of Stephen Hopkins through Elizabeth (Kenney) Goodwin, the sixth-generation daughter-in-law of Thomas’s immigrant ancestor, Daniel Goodwin of Yoxford, Suffolk, England.
