The detailed descriptions discuss divisions of property in Barnstable during the 18th century, including lot sizes; property lines and abutters; land set aside for schools, highways and meeting houses; minutes of proprietors' meetings; and settlement of disputes. Certain parcels passed by inheritance to sons, or in some instances to widows, but in no case is a daughter identified as an heir (although it may sometimes be inferred that a son-in-law may have inherited shares).

This parcel of land was used as a foraging area for the residents of Springfield until 1685, when it was decided by town meeting to divide the land into lots to be assigned to a group of 125 proprietors. Wilbraham was established in 1763. Like all New England colonial towns, Wilbraham (and its neighbor Hampden) was often called upon to provide soldiers when the safety of the colony was threatened. Despite its small population Wilbraham provided a steady supply of militia and bounty men through Queen Anne's War, King George's War, the French and Indian War, the Revolution, Shay's Rebellion and the War of 1812. The military records of all Wilbraham and Hampden men known to have served in these conflicts are presented here with additional biographical and genealogical information gleaned from Massachusetts Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors, 1775-1782, early town and family histories, muster rolls, burial records and tombstone inscriptions. Rolls of soldiers (found in the extensive appendices) are preceded by a historical sketch listing all alarms issued in the state of Massachusetts between 1774 and 1783 and Wilbraham men who participated in the Crown Point Expedition of 1755, the Lake George Campaign (1755), the Baron Dieskau Battle (1755) and the Crown Point Expedition of 1759. Wilbraham men are noted for service at Lexington, Roxbury, Quebec, Ft. Ticonderoga, Bennington, Saratoga and elsewhere.

Motes stated that upon examining the 1850 Newburyport City Directory, women were indeed listed with many varying occupations, though they were not recorded by the census taker.

In 1646, the family left their elder son, John, with the Salisbury land, and moved to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where their younger son, Thomas, would receive the new land divisions after the parents' death.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Rev. William H. Eaton (1818-1896) designed this work as an extension of his fine four-generation treatment of this line, published in the 1880s. He died, however, well before its completion. The old manuscript was found, modernized, and completed by Philip E. Converse. The genealogy is patrilineal, and covers some ninth-generation Eatons who lived the bulk of their lives before 1850. About 5,000 descendants are numbered, and biographical texts of varying length are provided for a majority of the males, along with information about daughter's marriages where available. One long appendix attempts to identify all Eatons (not only from John and Anne) listed in the Federal Censuses from 1790 to 1850 in Northern New England, for the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The identification rate for Eaton sightings is over eighty-five percent in each state, so this appendix will be of interest to descendants of the several other Eaton lineages who came to New England during the Great Migration, some of whom migrated northward from Plymouth and the Boston area. This volume includes fifteen sidebars giving some context about the local challenges these Eaton generations encountered in New England, along with ten maps, and indexes for Eaton names and cognate surnames mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Converse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2004), 2005, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 780 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788431456\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-C3145\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39284290814070,"sku":"101-C3145","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-c3145.png?v=1727738424"},{"product_id":"101-s0489","title":"Vital Records of Rochester, Massachusetts to the Year 1850, Volume 1: Births","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Plymouth County town was first created from public lands on 4 June 1686.
