Synopsis: The New Haven Town Records, 1769 - 1819 is a fully annotated and indexed primary source transcription of the minutes of New Haven's Town Meetings over what is arguably the most significant half century of the city's long history.
This volume continues where the “Records of the Particular Court of Connecticut”, published in 1928, left off in April 1663. At first the court is sometimes a “Particular Court”, sometimes an Assistants Court, but mostly these are the records of the county court. This title will be a valuable resource for those investigating the people of this place and time period.

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.
