The book relies on the county boundaries as they were during the colonial era, 1607-1775. All of the colonies are organized and displayed by their colonial settlements and counties and include maps of the earliest settlements. Under each county are listed the townships that were in place during the colonial era. There are numerous references to county boundary changes throwing a township from one county to another. This is important information for anyone searching for a particular vital record (birth, marriage, death, burial) and needing to know which county to search. There are also references to counties moving to another colony, e.g., three counties created in the Province of New York were transferred to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1682.
