The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, 1600 to 1700

$27.95

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:

  • Surviving records from the London Port Books
  • Lists from some of the English outports
  • Muster rolls from Virginia
  • Other items listing early settlers
  •  

 "Despite the passage of more than a century, and despite the publication of several more versions of some of these records in the intervening years, this volume by Hotten remains the best source for seventeenth-century passenger records, and should be preferred to all others."
