This book contains extensive biographical and genealogical information about every family who settled in Maine and New Hampshire prior to 1699. Births, marriages, and deaths are listed through the third and sometimes fourth generation. Sketches also include data on places of origin, residences, wills and deeds, court cases, and careers. Originally published in five parts between the years 1928 and 1939, this indispensable resource will save you time and provide you with a greater understanding of the area.
Cambridge Cameos contains forty-four sketches from the period 1651 to 1686 that combine good stories, intriguing personalities, and incidents involving mostly ordinary Cambridge people. They are based on thousands of original documents; virtually all primary sources with any bearing on the early history of Cambridge. Drawing on his vast knowledge of Middlesex County families and on his equally vast experience in the town and court records of that county, Roger Thompson has composed a number of delightful vignettes of early residents of the town of Cambridge.
