Description
Excerpt from The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire, 1623 to 1660: A Descriptive List, Drawn From Records of the Colonies, Towns, Churches, Courts and Other Contemporary Sources
It is encouraging to note the progress which the study of genealogy has made within the last decade, which may be said to mark an epoch in the family his tory of New England. Books like those which Mr. Pope has compiled are invaluable as aids to this study, Since they furnish important clues to the genealogist, which he could not obtain except by long research in public and private archives alone familiar to experts like Mr. Pope.
The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire aims to give such particulars as are accessible of the founders of these states, and, in many cases, all the particulars which exist; many, it is true, most meagre; but any one who has sought through scores of obscure registers and volumes difficult to reach, knows what the finding of a single name sometimes means to him, for it often set tles a mooted point which nothing else can do.
