What remains of these records constitutes an invaluable resource for historians, illustrating the workings of colonial government in remarkable detail.

The majority of the text is concerned with the resolution of land disputes between the neighboring colonies, and the maintenance of royal authority in the region. Relations with neighboring Indian tribes and treaties are also discussed at length as well as the more mundane procedures of the colonial government, such as appointments of commissioners, organization and dissolution of committees, proceedings of the courts, transcriptions of speeches, and acquisition of resources for the colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Pulsifer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1859), 2016, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, indices, 258 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788410512\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-P1051\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41438026448,"sku":"101-P1051","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-p1051-1500px.png?v=1777229675"},{"product_id":"101-a2101","title":"The Salem [Massachusetts] Directory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the ninth edition of the Salem Directory, with a business directory of South Danvers, Massachusetts.

By focusing on geography and economy, Mr. Leonard's narrative provides an answer to his question and also fills in the gap in colonial history left inadequately discussed by earlier publications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author sets the stage by first discussing the expansion of Plymouth Colony (1620-1699) and the nascent beginnings of Beechwoods (1699-1709). The community is considered to have officially begun in 1709 with the arrival of several men who cleared a little road from the highway to their parcels of land and built houses. More men and families soon arrived. Businesses prospered in the 1720s: leather enterprises, sawmill, blacksmith, iron working, land speculation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe halcyon years of the 1730s were followed by the confederacy of the 1740s that was expressed through the dynasty made up of the families of Peirce, Booth, and Hoar, and their close genealogical ties with the Holloways, Hoskinses, Howlands, Rounsvilles, and Reynolds families (and to a lesser extent the Nelsons of Assawampsett Neck). At this time, the community entrenched itself by actively securing landholdings on the perimeter to discourage public access and expel those whom it believed did not belong, and it suffered an accelerating inflationary spiral. Continuing economic problems in the 1750s were exacerbated by religious divisiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe decades of the 1760s through the 1780s saw further challenges to life in Beechwoods as well as the community's involvement in the American Revolution. The remaining years to 1809 saw the community's retreat into isolation from the greater world around it: there were still no public thoroughfares leading through the settlement. Unlike so many other small communities that decay into the ground or disappear beneath the onslaught of progress, Beechwoods entered the 21st century, smaller than it once was perhaps but nevertheless laden with fascinating history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth Leonard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2003), 2009, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 254 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788423611\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-L2361\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41320453584,"sku":"101-L2361","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-l2361-1500px.png?v=1777224268"},{"product_id":"101-m0179","title":"The Mayflower Descendant, Volume 8, 1906","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe material covered in this thirty-four volume series includes essentially everything of interest to researchers studying the \u003cem\u003eMayflower\u003c\/em\u003e passengers, the first few generations of their progeny, and others who settled in the many towns they established in southeastern Massachusetts.

The first break from the Church occurred in the early 1500s when King Henry VII wanted to divorce his wife, Catherine. The King's break with the Roman Catholic Church created the Anglican Church(Church of England) which, though not entirely Protestant, nonetheless allowed a revival of Protestantism. Many of these Protestants were called Puritans \"because of their wish to purify and reform the State Church.\" Religious persecution continued through the 1600s, however, for any group that varied too far from the teachings of the Church of England. The Pilgrims evolved from the Puritans. The author endeavors to make plain something of the exalted character of the men and women whom \"preeminently the world has agreed to call the Pilgrims....\" who \"maintained steadily their lofty intellectual, moral, and religious standards and soon exerted an enlightening influence upon the world out of all proportion to the smallness of their colony.\" This informative and readable history includes biographical sketches of Robert Browne, William Brewster, William Bradford, and John Robinson, as well as many notes on lesser known but nonetheless important early Pilgrims.

For the most part these accounts and records pertain to the General Court and the Court of Assistants of New Plymouth. However, there are several miscellaneous entries.

Taken seven years after the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts, Tufts University Associate Professor Kerri Greenidge points out that this census illustrates the “fluidity of racial categories in Massachusetts.” Most of these Plymouth County residents were black and Wampanoag\/Massachuset Indian soldiers in the Revolutionary War who purchased their freedom using bounty money from their service. Blauss Edwards details the contributions of people of color to the Plymouth economy through their labor as seamen, blacksmiths, ministers, and common laborers. The 1790 Census in Massachusetts captures a remarkable moment in history, documenting the families of newly manumitted families navigating the complicated domestic, social, and economic realities of transitioning from slavery to freedom in the only American state which fully endorsed total abolition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book contains detailed sketches for 28 heads of household with surnames Ashport, Augustus, Clap\/Clapp, Cordner, Craine\/Crane, Easton, Fuller, Goodwin, Hart, Howe, Hubbard, Jotham, London\/Lonnon\/Loudon, Negro, Nicolson\/Nicholson\/Nickerson, Peirce\/Pierce\/Pearce, Phelps, Quande, Richards, Stavan\/Stevens, Torbet\/Talbot\/Talbert\/Tarbet\/Tarbil\/Tarbot, Turner, White, and Wright.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Blauss Edwards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2024, 6\" x 9\", paper, index, 382 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780880824347\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e125-E2434\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New England Historic Genealogical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42728829091958,"sku":"125-E2434","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/125-e2434-1500px.png?v=1777572039"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/massachusetts-plymouth-county.oembed?page=2","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
