DEEDS, &c. VOL. I. 1620-1651. BOOK OF INDIAN RECORDS FOR THEIR LANDS. BOSTON: FROM THE PRESS OF WILLIAM WHITE, PRINTER TO THE . COMMONWEALTH. 186 1. /(. J?// -2-/, K r ,,5^ /(:?ao/r< INTRODUCTION. THIS volume contains a copy of tlie manuscript lettered "Plymouth Colony Eecords, Deeds, &c., Vol. I. 1627-1651," and of the "Book of Indian Records for their Lands," which is contained in the manu- script lettered "Plymouth Colony Records, — Ind. Deeds, — Teeas"*^ R«e©B»Sy Acc^^, Lists of Freemen," which Book of Indian Records, with the excep- tion of two pages, is in the handwriting of Nathaniel Morton and Samuel Sprague. The manuscript Book of Deeds, &c., which is the most ancient record of the first settlers of Plymouth, was begun by Governor Bradford, but the greater part of it is in the handwriting of Nathaniel Sowther and Na- thaniel Morton. A few pages are in the handwriting of Antony Thacher and Samuel Sprague. The book was paged by Secretary Morton, with the exception of thirty-two leaves at the beginning, and seven leaves at the end, which many years afterwards were paged by other persons. In the year 1716, John Cotton, Esq., made Indexes, or Tables, as he calls them, on some of the leaves left unpaged, and wrote on the first page of the record "Anno 1627 There are 2 Tables in this Book." (iii) IV INTKODUCTION. The date '' 1627," however, probably does not refer to the record on the same page, in Governor Bradford's handwriting, of the meersteads and garden plots laid out in 1620, or to the pages containing the record, mainly by the same hand, of the allotments of land in 1623. Those pages have every appearance of having been written in the years mentioned in the record. The date written by Mr. Cotton, " 1627," undoubtedly refers to the record of Deeds, agreeably to the Title, on the leaf preceding the first page, namely, " Plimouths great Book, of Deeds of Lands Enrolled: from An" 1627 to An° 1651:" A few deeds were also enrolled or recorded in this book of a date sub- sequent to 1651. In some instances Deeds and other Instruments were signed by the parties with their own hands on the record, fac-similes of several of which autographs will be found in their appropriate places. A fac-simile of the first page, as recorded by Governor Bradford, is also added. DAVID PULSIPEE. Boston, November 21, 1861. ; MARKS AND CONTRACTIONS. ~ A Dash.

    Winslows: Pilgrims, Patrons, and Portraits

    Copyright, The President and Trustees of Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine 1974 PILGRIMS, PATRONS AND PORTRAITS A joint exhibition at Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Organized by Bowdoin College Museum of Art Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/winslowspilgrimsOObowd Introduction Boston has patronized many painters. One of the earhest was Augustine Clemens, who began painting in Reading, England, in 1623. He came to Boston in 1638 and probably did the portrait of Dr. John Clarke, now at Harvard Medical School, about 1664.' His son, Samuel, was a member of the next generation of Boston painters which also included John Foster and Thomas Smith. Foster, a Harvard graduate and printer, may have painted the portraits of John Davenport, John Wheelwright and Increase Mather. Smith was commis- sioned to paint the President of Harvard in 1683.^ While this portrait has been lost, Smith's own self-portrait is still extant. When the eighteenth century opened, a substantial number of pictures were painted in Boston. The artists of this period practiced a more academic style and show foreign training but very few are recorded by name. Perhaps various English artists traveled here, painted for a time and returned without leaving a written record of their trips. These artists are known only by their pictures and their identity is defined by the names of the sitters. Two of the most notable in Boston are the Pierpont Limner and the Pollard Limner. These paint- ers worked at the same time the so-called Patroon painters of New York flourished.

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

    Edward Bangs: His Arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs Arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623

    Edward Bangs: his arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. Governor William Bradford tells of the ship’s arrival in Plymouth: "About fourteen days after came in this ship, called the Anne, whereof Mr. William Peirce was master; and about a week or ten days after came in the pinnace which, in foul weather, they lost at sea, a fine, new vessel of about 44 tun, which the Company had built to stay in the country. They brought about 60 persons for the General, some of them being very useful persons and became good members to the body; and some were the wives and children of such as were here already." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed. Samuel Eliot Morison (New York: Knopf, 1991), p. 127. Edward Bangs & the 1623 Division of Land The 1623 Division of Land marked the end of the Pilgrims' earliest system of land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it in this way: "And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed.

  • Children on the Mayflower

    Children on the Mayflower

    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.

    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies

    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.
