Scrupulous in every detail, this work contains the names of 3,600 passengers on the ninety-six ships which brought them to New England between 1620 and 1640. Working with the same records employed by Savage, Drake, and Hotten, and with records unknown or inaccessible to them, Colonel Banks here pulls the several classes of records together to form the most complete and authoritative collection of passenger lists for the period ever published. In addition to the names of passengers and ships, places of origin, and places of residence in America, the book includes indexes to surnames, ships, English parishes, and New England towns.

The Planters of the Commonwealth. A Study of the Emigrants and Emigration in Colonial Times to Which Are Added Lists of Passengers to Boston and to ... Their Settlement in Massachusetts, 1620-1640

This "Dictionary" comprises genealogical records of nearly 3,000 emigrants, giving their English homes, names of ships in which they sailed, towns in which they settled in New England, and references to the printed or manuscript sources from which the information derived. In collecting data for this work, Col. Banks made seven visits to England, searching the records of nearly 2,000 parishes in order to connect the New England immigrants with their native parishes. Additional information is provided in a series of indexes: Index to Emigrants to New England; Index of the Wives and Children of the Emigrants; Index of Parishes; Index of Ships; and Index of Towns in New England.

This critically acclaimed work has biographical sketches of 112 passengers who sailed on these first four ships to New England. Along with data on the passengers' origins, family connections and later histories, it substitutes proof for guesswork and blows holes in many cherished traditions. The author gives first the historical evidence, then follows a list of the passengers on the Mayflower, Fortune, Anne, and Little James. These are dealt with, one by one, and the little known facts about their place of residence in England and their parentage and ancestry are given.

Colonial Families of Martha's Vineyard is Clearfield's adaptation of Charles Bank's three-volume history of that historic Massachusetts island settlement. In the compiler's estimation the work consists of the "complete genealogies of every family resident of Martha's Vineyard (Duke's County) from 1641 through the beginning of the 19th century, transient and permanent residents inclusive." In the compilation of these genealogies, Banks relied heavily upon the official records of births, marriages, and deaths on deposit at the three Martha's Vineyard towns founded before 1700--Chillmark, Tisbury, and Edgartown; church records for their references to baptisms, marriages, and deaths; probate records; and so forth. The author credits 19th-century compiler Richard L. Pease's collection of genealogical manuscripts as his richest and most valuable source. Banks also traveled to England from 1922 to 1924 in order to compile additional information on the ancestral homes of Vineyard patriarchs. 
The volume commences with a learned Introduction that discusses the author's methodology, the venerable families of the Vineyard and migration patterns to the mainland, and it concludes with an every-name index exceeding 12,000 persons. What follows is a list of the most frequently cited surnames in that index: Adams, Allen, Arey, Athearn, Baker, Bartlett, Bassett, Baxter, Beetle, Benson, Bourne, Bradford, Bradley, Brown, Burgess, Butler, Case, Cathcart, Chase, Claghorn, Clark, Cleveland, Clifford, Coffin, Coleman, Cooke, Cottle, Covell, Crosby, Crowell, Daggett, Davis, Dean, Dexter, Dunham, Eddy, Fisher, Flanders, Folger, Foster, Gardiner, Gifford, Gould, Gray, Hammett, Hancock, Harding, Harper, Hatch, Hathaway, Hillman, Holley, Huxford, Jenkins, Jernegan, Johnson, Jones, Kelley, King, Lambert, Lewis, Long, Look, Luce, Manchester, Manter, Marchant, Mayhew, Merry, Morse, Nash, Nickerson, Norton, Nye, Osborn, Parker, Pease, Pope, Pratt, Presbury, Reynolds, Ripley, Robinson, Rogers, Rotch, Russell, Sears, Sherman, Skiff, Smith, Snow, Sprague, Starbuck, Stewart, Strong, Swain, Swasey, Tabor, Taylor, Thaxter, Tilton, Tobey, Torrey, Trapp, Vincent, Vinson, Waldron, Wass, Webster, Weeks, West, Wheldon, White, Williams, Wing, Winslow, Worth, and Young.
