HAMILTON, WORCESTER, MASS. INTRODUCTION. ' A popular historian has said that the study of history ' sets before us striking examples of virtue, enterprise, courage, generosity, patriotism ; and, by a natural principle of emula- tion, incites us to copy such noble examples." We, of the present generation, know but little of the trials, fatigues, hardships, fears and anxieties, which our fathers and mothers of early New England days experienced and willingly endured, that they might establish a government and found a nation, where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance of their posterity for all time. Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild winters of the British Isles, the abrupt change of location, with unavoidable exposure to the harsher climate and rigorous win- ters of New England, caused many of the delicate ones among the first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or other unlooked-for diseases, while even the most vigorous of the first one or two generations after immigration, being subjected to the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle- ments, rarely attained the age of three-score and ten. -
A New Commonwealth Votes Using GIS to Analyze the Politics of Turn-Of-The-19Th-Century Massachusetts
A New Commonwealth Votes Using GIS to Analyze the Politics of Turn-of-the-19th-Century Massachusetts An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science on March 4, 2013 by Daniel Boudreau and Bryan MacDonald Submitted to: Prof. Jim Cocola – Project Advisor Abstract This Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) seeks to incorporate innovative techniques of the digital humanities with traditional methods of data organization in order to produce layered and informative representations of early American voting figures. Using Microsoft Excel and Esri ArcGIS, we have developed a geographic information system (GIS) that allows Massachusetts election data for selected House of Representatives races (1798 and 1800) to be topographically displayed alongside insightful demographical data layers. This geographic information system, we argue, serves to advance the objectives of the “A New Nation Votes” databasing project by demonstrating to interested scholars new and meaningful methods of manipulating multiple related sets of historical data. Moreover, we have constructed a comprehensive methodology that explains the construction of the IQP’s GIS representations and illustrates analytical strategies of map interpretation, in order to better inform and instruct future efforts. Through detailed historical analysis of our maps, we demonstrate the immeasurable value of digital mapping as a flexible interpretive tool to be employed within studies of history with expansive scope. i Executive Summary For decades Philip Lampi has been collecting dislocated U.S. elections returns and compiling them, in a project now sponsored by The American Antiquarian Society and known as “A New Nation Votes.” As this initiative turns toward electronic archival, integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) could be valuable. -

This was afterward modified so as to include biographical data, deemed worthy of preservation. The record of students, extended beyond the half-century limit to 1830, the date of the organization of the Teachers' Seminary (at the wish of Principal Bancroft, who was deeply interested in the work), was completed and stereotyped in 1892. Issued now for the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Academy, sketches of all the Trustees, Principals and Assistant Instructors have been added, together with a list of the " Divinity Students" in Phillips Academy be- fore the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary. Grateful acknowledgment is made to librarians, college statisticians, public registrars and numerous other correspondents for courteous aid rendered during all these years. -
Hoyt Family Papers
GUIDE TO THE HOYT FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Hoyt Family Papers were gathered by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from numerous sources over many years, and number more than 1,500 items, dating from 1707 to 2006. In the early 20th century, Arthur T. Hoyt of Los Angeles donated manuscripts of Epaphras Hoyt, his great grandfather, and in 1977 the former Mrs. Clarence P. Hoyt donated numerous deeds and other Hoyt documents. Papers relating to David Starr Hoyt and his parents were purchased at auction in 2009, and in 2015 a collection of material relating to Epaphras Hoyt and his son, Arthur Hoyt, was purchased at auction. The collection represents eight generations of the family, descended from Nicholas Hoyt of Windsor, Connecticut, through his son David. The superscript numbers accompanying names in the notes below refer to the numbers assigned by George Sheldon in genealogical notes on the Hoyt family in the second volume of his History of Deerfield (1895). Many of the following biographical notes are from the same source. Biographical Notes and Description of Series David Hoyt2, son of Nicholas1, was born in 1651. He was a freeman at Hatfield, Mass., in 1678 and removed to Deerfield on the permanent settlement (1680). His first wife was Mary Wells of Hatfield; she died before September 1676. His second wife, Sarah Wilson, whom he married in 1678, died about 1689. He then married, about 1691, Abigail Cook Pomeroy. David was captured in the raid of 1704 and died of starvation at Coos, New Hampshire, in May of that year. -
