Chronicles of the Boit Family and Their Descendants and of Other Allied Families by Robert Apthorp Boit is a privately written and published genealogical and biographical account tracing the Boit family lineage, along with several related families including the Hubbards, Sturgises, Whites, Mercers, Griffins, and Grinnells. Addressed first to the author’s children and descendants, the work documents the lives, character, and accomplishments of Boit family members over several generations, beginning with John Boit of Boston, a master-mariner noted for his adventurous life.
Drawing on family manuscripts, Boston records, and personal recollections, the book seeks to preserve more than just names and dates. Through anecdote and personal commentary, it presents a narrative aimed at portraying the values, interests, and cultural leanings of the Boit family. In addition to biographical sketches, the volume includes detailed genealogical tables and reference materials that may prove useful to family researchers and historians of Boit New England lineages.
