Published in 1883, The history of Windham in New Hampshire by Leonard A. Morrison is an extensive town history documenting the development of Windham from its earliest settlement in the early eighteenth century through the late nineteenth century. Originating as part of the Scotch-Irish settlement of Londonderry, Windham is presented within its broader historical, religious, political, and social context, with particular attention to the character and institutions established by its Presbyterian founders.
The work is organized topically rather than strictly chronologically, allowing each subject to be treated in a self-contained manner. Morrison addresses land grants, settlement patterns, incorporation, ecclesiastical affairs, education, highways, industry, political organization, and civic life, as well as local responses to major conflicts including the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Extensive use is made of town records, state papers, military rolls, probate and county records, and institutional archives in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
A substantial portion of the volume is devoted to family history. Morrison sought to record the genealogies of Windham’s earliest settlers and their descendants, whether they remained in the town or removed elsewhere, and to include later families who established permanent residence. These genealogies are supported by wide-ranging correspondence, cemetery transcriptions, family Bibles, and direct examination of local and regional records.
