Published more than 125 years ago, this important resource compiles documents listing seventeenth-century English immigrants to New England, the Chesapeake, and the Caribbean. It remains an invaluable resource for anyone with such ancestry. Includes a comprehensive index.

Compiled documents include:

Barber and Howe’s collaboration, originally published in 1841, opens with a general history of the state, followed by the details of each town, arranged alphabetically by county, then town, then city or village. Entries contain geographical and architectural descriptions, original Native American place names, political and religious history, population statistics, and interesting anecdotes about the activities of certain residents. Generously illustrated with Barber’s fine engravings and often accompanied by a verbal description of his impressions of the scene.

Wyman’s work, compiled over thirty years and originally published in 1879, is notable not only as a comprehensive collection of genealogies of early settlers but also as an abstract of real estate records, church records, gravestone inscriptions, and family records, thus giving us a picture of both the people and places in the town. His compilation remains a reliable and highly detailed source for historians of early Charlestown.

6 x 9 paperback, 1,208 pages in 2 vols.

First published in the Register in 1860, this volume, much like Hotten’s The Original Lists of Persons of Quality , compiles passenger lists and other documents from the British Archives relevant to early migration to New England.

Compiled by Royal Ralph Hinman, Secretary of the State of Connecticut from 1825 to 1842, this listing of Connecticut settlers includes for many the time of their arrival in the colony, their standing in society, and their place of residence. Hinman strove to include all the settlers he could find on record, continuing to add sections to this work as he discovered new information. Originally published in 1846, this resource is still valuable to family historians today.
