An invaluable source for those with early Connecticut ancestry, this transcription of the original records at the Connecticut State Archives provides a nearly contemporary record of disputes: not only run-of-the-mill arguments over debt, land, estates, fences, hay, and timber, but also cases involving witchcraft, divorce, murder, robbery, and counterfeiting.

In early 1629 the Massachusetts Bay Company received a royal charter that allowed the Company to carry on the work, begun earlier in the decade by the Dorchester Company and then the New England Company, of developing permanent settlements in New England. During 1629 the Massachusetts Bay Company sent settlers to Massachusetts Bay, mostly young, single men, servants either of the Company itself or of particular merchants and gentlemen associated with the Company.
This popular book from the Great Migration series is now available in paperback. In it, Robert Charles Anderson tells the story of the Pilgrim Migration by relating the story of each family or individual known to have resided in Plymouth Colony between 1620 (when the Mayflower arrived) and 1633. Each of the more than two hundred sketches provides information on the early histories of these immigrants as well as their New World experiences. This material is followed by complete genealogical accounts, including all marriages and children of the immigrants.
This sixteenth book in the Great Migration Study Project opens with an essay on what led up to the sailing of the Mayflower and continues through its departure from Plymouth, England, describing the groups who made up the passenger list and how they were reshuffled when the Speedwell was abandoned.
