Should all things ,vhich have been relegated to the past be entire­ ly forgotten and allo,ved to molder in the sepulchres of oblivion? Ho,v many realize the importance of that ,vhich is being bestowed upon the present generation by the gro,ving army of antiquarian minds ,vho are daily delving in the dusty and cobwebbed pathways of life ,vhich lead to a better and nobler understanding of "Auld Colonial Times," the men and \vomen ,vho made and endured them, our fathers and forefathers, yea, even back to "Auld England" do our thoughts rapidly trend until our ancestral links are so perfectly united that the concatenation is a chain of loyalty and benevolence intern1ingled ,Yith affections and devotions, all based upon a consan­ guineous affiliation, one ,vith another, in this great and harmonious b?.nd-an unbroken family record from its most incipient progenitor do,vn to its latest offspring. To ·day a ,vhole nation of .A.. merican people is alive to this fact 2 .... d the strenuous energies ,vhich our noted genealogists and histurians, each with their organized society of \vorkers, are putting forth are onlv of the nresent decade and attest to the sinceritv of purpose and .,; ~ .,, - .... the value of the motive ail have in vie\v. The history of a family is like the flo,ving of a river; there are many rivulets starting ,vide apart, ,vhich unite to s,vell the ever­ deepening stream. :!viost of the fountain-heads of old ....\.merican fam­ ilies are in England, especially so ,vith the Ne,v England contingents with ,vhich I shall principally deal; and, in order to obtain a correct vie"" as to the inception of t~e characteristic attributes of our colon­ ial fathers, from whom parental traits are undoubtedly transmitted to their present descendants, we must cross the Atlantic and follo,v the rivulets to their sources. The tracing of the relationships of those qualities and talents ,vith which one ancestor has seemed to have imbued into a later soul, thus showing their effect upon the human race, is the philosophy of genealogy, and by studying the philosophy we are able to arrive at some conclusions as to their meanings and effect. Furthermore, as you peruse these articles, the conviction, I trust, \vill come that, under the power of those things ,vhich are really the fruit of the vine planted by our old ancestral pioneers, our country is leading the human race in its march toward a state of society inex­ pressibly grand and glorious. The most of us-would that it were all-like to look back on the past, to turn over the leaves of old records and imagine the persons that wrote them,· to glance back to childhood's days and think of those who were with us then-some indulgent father, a sainted mother, long since passed to their _eternal rest; friends whom we knew then but whose friendship ceased with childhood's days. These come to us as sw-eet thoughts as we sit musing in some quiet twilight hour, and sometimes even in our dreams we fancy seeing them. We read history, through whose pages flickering lights and shadows follow each other successively along as some man or nation rises and rules a brief span and then passes away; but over the whole, time throws a haze which softens all the points an_d mellows the colors and smooths all the rough places; so that we forget that those who lived in-those days, in that past, had the same passions, the same joys and endured the same sorrows as we endure. We even forget that childhood had its bitter sorrow, as bitter at that time as any of maturer years. We read of great battles and glorious victories; we forget the homes thus made desolate, the hearts rent by pain, the widow's tears, the orphan's sigh. We see the bright­ ness of the martyr's crown ; we too often forget the pale, haggard face beneath, and the torture and agony that won that crown. Friendship's flowers bloomed as sweetly then as now; but ofttimes, as som~ kind hand \vould gather them, they found naught but thorns. The past is like one of our glorious sunsets. The rays come down to us, making a radiant pathway of golden light up to its very source, yet if ,ve seek to tread that path\vay, ,ve shall find the same rough road; and if ·we \Vere to continue long, night would overtake us, and ,ve would only be too glad to rest. But a fe,v hours more, and the eastern sky is tinged with light and the same sun breaks forth; another day and soon another past. Thus generations are begotten; they mature, then vanish a,vay for others to follow. But, though in the silent· tombs, they are not to be forgotten. They well played their parts on the stage of life ; it is now our turn, and the ancestral scenes <?f our revered forefathers should be so per­ petuated by their modern blood that the great family panorama of life shall know no ending. A description of the scenes constituting this mammoth panorama is, in reality, the Genealogy of the family, and hence we present it as such to the readers of the ''PRESS' '-beginning with the pedigree of the HASKELLS.

ANCESTRAL HISTORY ···••••• OF THE AND THEIR DEBCENDA1'TTB. :Sq :S. lia1'e J{eqei, ..\.R TICLE II:- HASKELL :-Key to the understanding of . the Genealogical 11ethod used in these Records. To anyone at all familiar with genealogical writings and meth­ ods these explanatory notes are actually superfluous, but, without a shado,v of doubt, by far the greater majority arc by no means versed as to the matter of ascertaining relationships, lines of ances­ try, etc., of one individual to another by the system herein adopted, :without some elucidation as to the character:-5, fihures and arrange­ ment used in such writings-hence a little study of this article will perhaps be necessary to ensure a clear and ready comprehension of \Vhat is to follow henceforth. The earliest emigrant to a pioneer family is considered as being the first generation (i. e. in American ancestry) and his name is al­ \vays follo,ved by the superior figure 1-thus, Mark1 Haskell. If he had brothers who came, they would be characterized likewise, as the generation is the same, but only of a different branch. The children of the emigrant ancestor would, as being in the second generation, have their names followed by 2 and their children in turn would be the third generation which would be characterized by :i_thus, Mark3 Haskell. Therefore a superior figure following a name is al\vays indicative of the generation to which the party be­ longs. A line of patern~l ancestry is indicated thus; William' Haskell, ( Caleb,6 Mark,5 lVIark, 4 Ignatius,=3 Mark,2 William1 ) • You will observe :figures arranged in a vertical row to the extreme left, the numeration of which will consecutively increase in each is­ sue as the genealogy progresses. Inserted in the centre of the column will also be seen a second row, each figure of which is always placed just above the record or biog­ raphy of a person and his family, thus :- Mark -26-HaskeII. This central figure is always one that has been advanced from the left hand colun1n and by referring back to its position in that col­ umn you get the father of the individual who bears this number. Over the father's name in the centre will be found again another fig­ ure ·which refers you back still further in the left hand column to the grandfather, etc. until the complete ancestry of a person is thus obtained. Whenever the name of a m~mber in a family is preceded by a figure (,vhich is in the left column) this individual's name is ad:­ vanced or carried ahead just sufficiently to adapt the number to the central colutp.n, the same as is seen in heavy type above (1\rlark -26 - Haskell) where \Vill be found his sketch and family with his fur­ ther descendants. The process is a very simple and ingenious one after you once grasp the idea and this will be forthcoming before you peruse the articles to a very great extent.

  • William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

Material is broken into general project information, family research, and town/village research. Administrative Information Access Restrictions: Access to materials may be restricted based on their condition; consult the Archive for more information. Use Restrictions: Use of materials may be restricted based on their condition or copyright status; consult the Archives for more information. Acquisition Information: Plimoth Plantation Related Collections and Resources: TBD Historical Note The English Origins Project was a project undertaken by researchers from Plimoth Plantation in 1984. The project was funded by an NEH Grant. The goal of the project was to gather information from towns and communities in England where the early settlers of Plymouth Colony lived before they migrated to America. The hope was to gather information to help create training manuals for the interpreters at Plimoth Plantation so that they could more accurately portray the early settlers. Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum where the interpreters provide the bulk of the information and knowledge about the 17th century settlement to the guests therefore accurate portrayal is very important. This project greatly improved interpretation and continues to benefit both interpreters and guests of the museum to this day. The research focused on dialect, folklore, material culture, agriculture, architecture, and social history.

  • RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES in PLYMOUTH COLONY by Richard Howland Maxwell Pilgrim Society Note, Series Two, June 1996
    RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES IN PLYMOUTH COLONY by Richard Howland Maxwell Pilgrim Society Note, Series Two, June 1996 Plymouth Colony was born out of a religious controversy and was not itself immune to such controversies. The purpose of this lecture is to consider some of those controversies in order that we may better understand the Pilgrims, their attitudes, and their relationships with some other individuals and groups. We will start with some background concerns central to the identity of the Plymouth group, then move on to consider the relationships the Pilgrims had with some of their clergy, and focus finally on two groups who were not welcome in Plymouth or any other English colony. I wish to begin with two pairs of terms and concepts about which we seem often to find confusion. The first pair is Pilgrims and Puritans - or more accurately, Separatists and other Puritans. Some of you have heard me expound on this theme before, and it is not my intention to repeat that presentation. To understand the Pilgrims, however, we need to understand the religious and cultural background from which they came. We need also, I think, to understand something about their neighbors to the north, who shared their background but differed with them in some important ways. That shared background is the Puritan movement within the Church of England. The most succinct description of Puritanism that I have read comes from Bradford Smith’s biography titled Bradford of Plymouth. Smith wrote: Puritanism in England was essentially a movement within the established church for the purifying of that church - for ministers godly and able to teach, for a simplifying of ritual, for a return to the virtues of primitive Christianity.

To our Worshipful Friends Mr. Winthrop Governor of the Massachusetts and the rest of the Council there. Gentlemen, and worthily beloved friends, We have now at length returned an answer to your letter dated the 26 of July (the reason we have so long deferred the same, is because we have had no court till the last month being January). The sum whereof is this: that we are willing to correspond with you in this, or any other neighborly course, so far as may no way be prejudicial to any, or swerve from the rules of equity. How far Mr. Winslow expressed the agreement you intimate we know not (seeing he is absent) but our meaning, and former practice, was and hath been, only of such as come to dwell, and inhabit, whether as servants, or free men; and not of sojourners which come but for a season, with a purpose to return, yet if any abuse should grow hereby; we shall agree to any good order for the preventing or redressing of the same; provided the way be left open for poor men to relieve their wants, and for mutual help to both plantations. We have therefore given warning in open court to all our people; not to receive any as servants, or other dwellers with them, but to acquaint us first therewith that we may enquire of their certificates or dismissions; but we have set no penalty upon it as yet, because we hope there shall be no need if there be we have liberty to punish such things at our discretions; if that will not serve; when we understand what penalty you appoint in the case, we shall do the like, or that which shall be equivalent unto it.
