History

Excerpt from Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut, Vol. 2: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a NationShipman, was born in Norwich, May 17, 1764, and died there July 14, 1853. Early in life he learned the trade of goldsmith, and he be came a man of large in&#64258;uence and importance in the community. A natural leader of men, he was oftener than any of his contempora ries called to preside over public gatherings and town meetings. He represented Norwich for many years in the general assembly; was judge of probate and county judge. He set tled many estates and transacted much legal business for his neighbors. Miss F. M. Caul kins, the historian of Norwich and New Lon don thus wrote of Judge Shipman: Judge Shipman was a man of great simplicity of habits, of vigorous common sense, upright, honorable and independent, both in his inward promptings and in his whole course of action. He was almost al ways in office, serving the town and state in a va riety of ways - municipal, legislative and judicial displaying more than common ability, and giving gen eral satisfaction in all three departments. A&#64258;'ability and a taste for social enjoyment made him a de lightful companion. His readiness to communicate his vivid appreciation of character, his richly stored memory. And his abundant &#64258;ow of traditionary and historic anecdote held the listening ear bound to his voice as by an invisible charm. A sentiment of giatitude leads me to speak of another traitw - his kindness and winning attentions to the young. He was indulgent of their presence, of their vivacity and their sports; was ready to gratify them with some ta le of the olden time, to make them happy with little gifts of &#64258;owers or fruit; to compliment their self respect by asking them to read to him or lead ing them to converse on subjects rather above then below their standing. This is a rare character istic in this hurrying, impetuous age. Pleasant are all the memories connected with this honored and exemplary son of Norwich.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts; Volume 1

The 1913 edition of Cutter's New England Families is one of the richest compendia of family histories in all of New England genealogy. Compiled by William R. Cutter, the former corresponding secretary and historian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, this four-volume work boasts detailed genealogical and biographical essays on nearly 1,000 venerable New England families. Out of print and hard to locate for many years since its original publication in 1913, New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial is now available from Clearfield Company in an affordable paper edition.   In terms of content and arrangement, this publication is reminiscent of others common to the early twentieth century. Each essay begins with an explanation of the derivation or local origin of the principal surname under discussion. The family history is then traced forward from the oldest known ancestor of the line--in many instances from 16th-century England--to the family member (living or memorialized) featured in the essay. A lengthy biography of that individual, oftentimes accompanied by a photograph, comes next. This is followed, frequently, by additional, collateral lines linked to the subject of the essay. On the whole, the essays cover the length and breadth of New England ancestry from the colonial period through the early twentieth century, and they also serve to illustrate the influence of New England settlement upon the states to the west. It should be noted that, while the essays brim with Mayflower connections and ties to the early Puritan settlers of the region, this collection is a totally unique assemblage of New England families. The name index found at the back of the final volume identifies some 8,000 principal descendants of the main families treated.

Genealogical and Personal Memoirs: Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts. Four Volumes. Partially indexed

Between 1913 and 1916, William Richard Cutter published four separate 4-volume series entitled New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial. The First Series, published in 1913 and just reprinted by Clearfield Company in 1994 to an enthusiastic audience, featured genealogical and biographical essays on nearly 1,000 New England families. The Third Series (1915) is comprised of nearly 1,000 additional New England genealogical and biographical essays not found in the First Series and promises to enable New England researchers to investigate 1,000 additional lineages and nearly 10,000 New England ancestors unique to it. Each genealogical sketch offers a derivation or origin for the surname of that essay. The family history is traced forward from the oldest known ancestor of the line to the family member (living or memorialized) featured in the sketch, for whom, in turn, a biography--often with photograph--is provided. This is followed, frequently, by additional, collateral lines linked to the subject of the essay. It should be emphasized that many of these lineages go back to 16th-century England, still others brim with Mayflower connections, yet on the whole constitute a totally unique assemblage of New England families. Finally, the name index found at the back of the last volume identifies the nearly 10,000 principal descendants of the main families treated.

New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series. Four Volumes

A stronghold of Scotch-Irish settlement, Augusta County commands great interest among genealogists because thousands of 18th- and 19th-century families passed through it en route to the West. J. Lewis Peyton's History of Augusta County, Virginia is the standard work on the county. It is essentially a narrative account of Augusta from its aboriginal beginnings and Spotswood's discovery of the Valley of Virginia through the Civil War. Genealogists will value the book, in part, as a companion volume to such Augusta County source record collections as Lyman Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia. Of greater importance to genealogists, however, are the genealogical and biographical sketches of a number pioneering Augusta County families found in the Appendix to the volume.
