This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Windsor, Connecticut was one of the three towns that united to form the Colony of Connecticut in the 17th century. A great deal of data concerning Windsor's early inhabitants can be garnered from this work, which is based on records in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society. By far the largest source transcribed for this publication is the Matthew Grant, or "Old Church," Record, 1639-1681. Comprising the first half of the volume, the Matthew Grant Record consists of several thousand births, marriages, and deaths for Windsor families throughout much of the 17th century. Though not an "official record" of the town, it nonetheless is one of the most important sources of Windsor "vital records" in existence. Various addenda to the Matthew Grant Record are appended to the back of the book. The balance of the volume is made up of a variety of records, each of which has the virtue of placing a particular colonist in Windsor during the 17th or early 18th century, namely: (1) Town Votes, which speak loudly on the methods of town governance and the persons who were assigned to carry out tasks; (2) Lists of Freemen, 1669, 1703; (3) Documents Relating to the Church Controversy of 1669-1679, which affected towns throughout Connecticut; and (4) A Ratable List of Persons and Estates, 1686, representing the second longest record in the volume and disclosing the real and personal property (with the assessed values) for each property owner in town.

Download or read book History of the Town of Stonington County of New London Connecticut written by Richard Anson Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 1900 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, the town's sectors or institutions. There are also numerous lists and military rosters of those who served, elected officials, and of individuals involved in the commercial and ecclesiastical development. The second section of the book, the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families," comprises an alphabetical listing beginning with the immigrant ancestor, and progresses through five or more generations, providing names, birth and marriage dates, and, often times, a narrative of the background and accomplishments of the individual. In addition to this alphabetically arranged register, an index is also available, which exceeds more than 12,000 entries.Following are the immigrant surnames whose genealogies are outlined: Avery, Babcock, Baldwin, Bennett, Bentley, Billings, Breed, Brown, Browning, Burch, Burrows, Chapman, Chesebrough, Clift, Coates, Cobb, Collins, Copp, Cottrell, Davis, Dean, Denison, Eells, Fanning, Fish, Frink, Gallup, Gore, Grant, Greenman, Haley, Hallam, Hancox, Hart, Hewitt, Hinckley, Hobart, Holmes, Hull, Hyde, Kellogg, Main, Mallory, Manning, Mathews, Mason, Miner, Morgan, Noyes, Page, Palmer, Park, Peabody, Pendleton, Phelps, Pollard, Pomeroy, Prentice, Randall, Rhodes, Rossiter, Russell, Searle, Sheffield, Sisson, Smith Stanton, Stewart/Steward, Swan, Thompson, Trumbull, Vincent, West, Wheeler, Wilcox, Williams, Witter, Woodbridge, and York.

Download or read book Entertaining Satan written by John Putnam Demos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans' strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to the present.

This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of writings from and about New England’s Great Awakening—a spiritual movement that gave rise to American evangelicalism—from the theologian and philosopher who first reported it to the masses Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) is recognized today as a great theologian and philosopher. In his own day Edwards was best known as a leader of what is now known as the Great Awakening: a series of small-town revivals that mushroomed into a movement credited with giving birth to American evangelicalism and laying the groundwork for the American Revolution. In authoritative texts drawn from first editions and manuscript sources, this volume brings together all of Edwards’s essential writings from and about the revivals, including the famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and his vivid Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God in the Conversion of Many Hundreds of Souls, the work that first publicized the awakenings. Characterized by precise logic and powerful imagery, his writing continues to inspire students and spiritual seekers alike.
