Description:
Introduction by Jeremy Bangs, Ph.D., transcribed by C. H. Simmons, Jr. 602pp, paperback, 3,196 entry Every Name Index. 2011 (1996)
Plymouth Colony - the very name sends shivers of anticipation down researchers' spines. Mr. Simmons has transcribed, verbatim et literatim, all of the wills and inventories of Plymouth Colony between 1633 and 1669. Every page of the original record is reproduced here, typeset, on a separate page exactly as it is found in the original. This is a Mayflower research tool you will find useful again and again.
None of these records have been published verbatim et literatim before, although the early years were published serially in The Mayflower Descendant in the years 1899-1909 and the later years were abstracted and published serially in The Mayflower Descendant in years 1909-1937.
Here researchers will find all of the records, available for the first time complete and in full, in one volume and with a single Every Name Index added.
A lengthy and scholarly new Introduction by Dr. Jeremy Bangs, Guest Curator of Manuscripts, The Pilgrim Society adds considerably to the value of this work. Dr. Bangs is a widely known and highly respected authority on the Pilgrims - every Mayflower researcher should read his Introduction!
