History and Genealogy of Baltimore Vermont
Annie M. Pollard’s 1954 work provides a detailed examination of Baltimore, Vermont’s history, tracing its origins as a part of Cavendish until its independence in 1793 due to geographic challenges. The book explores the town’s early years, highlighting the development of industry, education, infrastructure, and social welfare through town records and personal narratives. Pollard’s dedication as a public servant and her interest in local genealogy enrich the account, painting a picture of a resilient rural community with a unique identity shaped by its small size and self-reliance.
History of Pembroke New Hampshire
Nathan Carter and Trueworthy Ladd’s “History of Pembroke, N.H. 1730-1895” chronicles the town’s journey from its early settlement as Suncook to the close of the nineteenth century. Documenting key events and societal developments year by year, the authors emphasize accuracy and detail, covering land divisions, local conflicts, and the town’s involvement in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The volume preserves vital records and offers insight into Pembroke’s public life, industries, religious institutions, and education, establishing a comprehensive reference for its historical narrative.
Genealogies of Pembroke New Hampshire
The “Genealogies of Pembroke, New Hampshire” is derived from the town’s second historical volume, and documents the connections of early settler families through the nineteenth century. It emphasizes families of the first settlers and families who resided in Pembroke over a long period of time. Organized alphabetically by surname, the genealogies use a consistent numbering system for easy reference. Carter draws from diverse sources, including town records and personal accounts of Pembroke’s citizens, while acknowledging possible inaccuracies in both their memory and the collection of information. However, by preserving these family lineages, Carter enhances the town’s historical narrative, complementing the first volume’s historical content. Supplementing this volume of genealogies is a compilation of marriage records which occurred in Pembroke, New Hampshire, from 1739 through 1895.
History of Rindge New Hampshire
The History of the Town of Rindge, New Hampshire by Ezra S. Stearns, was published in 1875, and covers the period from the original Rowley Canada grant or Massachusetts charter through the year 1874. Stearns traces the legal, territorial, and institutional development of Rindge, beginning with colonial land grants and boundary disputes and proceeding through settlement, incorporation into a town and development into a small manufacturing hub. More than half the volume is devoted to genealogical material. The genealogical register of Rindge families includes thousands of names compiled from a wide range of sources and assisted by contributions from residents and researchers beyond the town.
History of Newport New Hampshire
The History of Newport, New Hampshire, from 1766 to 1878 is a record of Newport’s growth from its early settlement through the close of the nineteenth century. It opens with the original charter and proprietary arrangements and follows the development of Newport’s physical setting, transportation routes, and economy. Particular attention is given to mills, banks, hotels, manufacturing, and the coming of the railroad, all of which shaped the town’s commercial life. The concluding genealogical section identifies families connected with Newport and other chapters provide biographical details that might otherwise be lost.
Descendants of Robert Fletcher of Concord, Massachusetts
Edward H. Fletcher presents a structured history of the Fletcher family, tracing the surname from its French occupational origin meaning “arrow-maker” to its establishment and growth in England and North America. It identifies Robert Fletcher as the principal progenitor in New England, settling at Concord in 1630, from whom three major family lines developed. Rather than limiting itself to names and dates, the work situates the family within its social and historical context, noting associations with the English gentry and participation in early American military events. Through biographical sketches and compiled vital records, it follows the family’s progression from early Puritan settlers to prominent figures in law, medicine, the military, and other professions.
History of Robert Chaffin and his descendants
William L. Chaffin’s 1913 genealogical study, *History of Robert Chaffin and his descendants*, chronicles the Chaffin family lineage from colonial origins to the early 20th century. It explores Robert Chaffin, the immigrant ancestor, and his marriage to Abigail Davis in 1719, including their life in Massachusetts and the challenges faced by their family. The book emphasizes the connection between family history and broader historical events, such as the Revolutionary War, while acknowledging the limitations of historical records and oral traditions.
Commemorative of Calvin and Luther Blanchard
This commemorative work by Alfred Sereno Hudson is a historical tribute to Calvin and Luther Blanchard, two brothers who served as Acton Minute-Men during the onset of the American Revolution. Hudson explores the dramatic events of April 19, 1775, specifically highlighting Luther Blanchard’s role as the fifer who led Captain Isaac Davis’s company toward the Old North Bridge to the defiant tune of “The White Cockade.” Beyond documenting the military maneuvers and the “shot heard round the world,” the author integrates local genealogy and oral tradition to establish that Luther eventually died from wounds sustained during the conflict.
History of the Townley-Lawrence-Chase estates in England
This book compiles historical documents, legal abstracts, and personal accounts related to the Townley-Lawrence-Chase estates, purportedly a significant unclaimed fortune at the Bank of England. It examines the American claimants tracing their ancestry to figures like Sir Robert Lawrence and Mary Townley. While personal narratives suggest valid connections, the text also critically investigates these claims, providing evidence from researchers that many assertions are unfounded or fraudulent. It highlights the genuine lineage of the Townley family and disputes the existence of the alleged unclaimed wealth.
History of the Carpenter Family and Estate
The genealogical book analyzes the myth of a vast unclaimed fortune associated with William Carpenter’s American descendants, revealing it as a fabrication. James Usher details various branches of the Carpenter family, including Samuel Carpenter of Pennsylvania, William Carpenter of Massachusetts, Ephraim, Timothy and Josias Carpenter, of New York, and William Carpenter of Rhode Island.
