In this follow-up to her first family history book, "A Gift to My
Descendents: The Remarkable Stories of Our Ancestors and Their
Role in History", Barbara explores the stories and histories of 38 New
England families that she and her children are descended from.
From Mayflower passengers to settlers of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony, she tells the riveting stories of those early pioneers who came
to the new world between 1620 and 1640, and ventured into the New
England wilderness with their families and their faith to found cities like
Hartford Connecticut and Springfield Massachusetts.
Pioneer families in this work include: Atherton, Benedict, Bird,
Bosworth, Buell, Burgess, Brewster, Capen, Freeman, Gatchell,
Gregory, Griswold, Hannon, Haynes, Hinckley, Howland, Janes,
Langton, Loomis, Lothrop, Lyman, Mather, North, Plumb, Pomeroy,
Prence, Purchase, Rockwell, Root, Scott, Searle, Symonds, Swift,
Tilley, Warner, Webb, Wright, and Upsall.
