ACROSS MY DESK: Essential Pope
books MA, ME & NH on CD
DearREADERS,
From the Archive CD Books USA Newsletter, 27 July 2006, Issue 2006, Number 8 we
read:
Charles Henry Pope, THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS, (1900) 2006
"Pope has entries for more than five thousand persons found in the records of
Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony between 1620 and 1650. The author
follows each resident of these colonies until death, utilizing many sources not
employed by Savage and others who had covered the same period.
Pope squeezes into his entries information from ship passenger lists, lists of
freemen, church records, town records, deeds and wills. Of especial importance,
the author included data from the Massachusetts Archives papers, from the
Middlesex County Court Files and from the notarial records of Thomas Lechford
and William Aspinwall, sources not mined by previous compilers of similar
compendia.
This source provides a comprehensive survey of the early decades of two New
England colonies, and must be consulted by all researchers working in this time
and place."
