Reilly, C.G.R.S.. (1993), 2010. 8½x11, paper, index, 202 pp. “The diocese of Tuam
encompasses the southern part of Co. Mayo, the northern area of Co. Galway
and two civil parishes along the western border of Co. Roscommon.” These
Irish marriage records (almost four thousand) are organized in three
different sections by groom, bride, and parish. Entries in the groom’s
section cover the full name of the groom, full name of the bride, marriage
date, place(city), and the witnesses’ names. The index of brides gives her
full name and the name of the groom. The parish index lists of men’s names
only, alphabetically by parish. “Among the restrictions imposed by the
English government in an effort to eradicate the Catholic faith in Ireland,
was the law of 1709 that forbade the keeping of Catholic sacramental
registers of baptism and marriage. This collection is a unique treasure among
the few extant Catholic registers.” M3812

Records of the Town of Plymouth, Volume 1 1636-1783. Wm.
T. Davis. (1889, 1989), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 362 pp. These volumes contain a complete, verbatim transcription
of the town records of Plymouth, Massachusetts for the years 1636 to 1783.
They record all the formal business of the town, such as town meetings,
elections, laying out of roads, and land grants by the town; vital records
were kept in separate books and are not included here. These records begin
early in the life of the town and continue down through the end of the
American Revolution. They provide a quite detailed picture of life at the
time. Here you will find the local residents registering their cattle marks,
being elected hog-reeve, or to some other minor town post, receiving
permission to set up fishing stages or erect a fence, listed as voting at the
town meeting, receiving a grant of land or cattle, assisting in the care of
widows and orphans, having a road laid out past their property, and all
manner of other interesting things. These records can be very helpful because
they name a great many people, some of whom probably do not show up in many
other records. There is a complete index in each volume. D0181

Manchester Men; Soldiers and Sailors in the Civil War,
1861-’66. George C. Gilmore. (1898), 2011, 5½x8½, paper, alphabetical, 172
pp. In George Gilmore’s words, “The
State of New Hampshire paid a commendable tribute to the memory of the brave
men, living or dead, who represented the State in the Civil War, by
appropriating thirty-two thousand, four hundred dollars, to prepare and print
two thousand volumes of the ‘Revised Register of the Soldiers and Sailors of
New Hampshire in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-’66, prepared and published
by authority of the Legislature, by Augustus D. Ayling,
Adjutant-General.’ One city and several towns have published the record
containing the names of the men who represented them. The main object in the
publication of this small book, too long delayed since the close of the war,
is to furnish the people of Manchester with an alphabetically arranged
record, copied from General Ayling’s Register, for
easy reference to the pages as indicated, for all the particulars regarding
the men who represented this city in the Civil War.” G4100

Records of Officers and Men of New Jersey in Wars,
1791-1815. Adjutant General of New Jersey. (1909, 2002), 2010, 8½x11, paper,
410 pp. This work recaptures an
interesting piece of history. Easy to follow, it provides records for six
different military campaigns about which, not much has been written. It is
divided into six sections, each section with its own fullname
index. The following military campaigns are included in this collection: the
Expedition against the Indians (1791); the Pennsylvania Insurrection (1794);
the Naval War with France (1798-1801); the Naval War with Tripoli, Africa
(1801-1805); the War with Great Britain (1812-1815); and the Naval War with
Algiers, Africa (1815). Each of the sections is prefaced with introductory
remarks describing the events leading up to the Congressional declaration and
the mustering of necessary forces. The entries covering Army and militia
information are usually grouped by company and include name, rank, dates of
service, and additional information when available. Naval and Marine forces
are usually arranged alphabetically by name and include rank, company, place
of enlistment, dates of service, description of end of service, and other
available information. Many men who served in more than one campaign have
subsequent records listed. A2134

Cape Fear Region, 1723-1800. Alfred Moore Waddell. (1909), 2008, 5½x8½,
paper, index, 252 pp. New Hanover was
established as a precinct in Bath County in 1729. This work covers the
history of the region from about that time down through the American
Revolution. The author apparently intended to continue his work, this volume
being marked "Volume I;" however, no subsequent volumes were
published. Although this history touches on most of the usual topics,
identifies the early plantations and their owners, and mentions the various
communities in the county, the emphasis is on events during the Revolutionary
War era and on Wilmington. There is a map and several illustrations of people
or sites mentioned in the text. W0268

Ohio Annals: Historic Events in the Tuscarawas and Muskingun Valleys. C. H. Mitchener.
(1876, 1993), 2011, 5½x8½, paper, index, 398 pp. This is the story of how a handful of settlers and a few
brave missionaries carved a civilization out of a primitive and dangerous
wilderness which came to be known as the state of Ohio. There are first hand accounts of settlers’ encounters with the Lenape, Seneca, and Mingo tribes and their traditions and
also short biographies of their fearless leaders, Captain White Eyes,
Cornstalk, and Tecumseh, to name a few. Also provided are tales of the
earliest settlers, the Moravian Germans, the French, and the brave
missionaries Zeisbeger and Heckewelder
who converted some Indians to Christianity all along the early western
border. This book also contains the death rolls of over 400 early settlers,
lists of early lawyers, county officers, land owners, and the members of
three constitutional conventions. A new index gives the reader access to the
great wealth of early Ohio settlers’ names buried within the lists and in the
text of the book. Starting with the geological history of the land itself and
ending with a review of Ohio’s rise to political power in the late 1800’s,
this highly engaging and mostly anecdotal history keeps you on the edge of
your seat all the way through. M3888

Lunenburg County [Virginia] Road Orders, 1746-1764.

(1993, 2004), 2005, 8½x11, paper, index, 244 pp. The establishment and maintenance of public roads were
among the most important functions of the county court during the colonial
period in Virginia. Each road was opened and maintained by an overseer (or
surveyor) of the highways, who was appointed each year by the Gentlemen
Justices. The overseer was usually assigned all the able-bodied men (the “Labouring Male Tithables”)
living on or near the road. These laborers then furnished their own tools,
wagons, and teams and were required to work on the roads for six days each

Our Maryland Heritage, Book 6: The Burdette Families. William Neal Hurley, Jr.. (1998), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 312 pp. This work continues the series of books about Maryland families. The author, already known for his work on the Fry, Fulks, Hines, Hurley, King, Lowder, Maddox, Niekirk, Pratt, Soper, Walker, and Watkins families, now turns his attention to the Burdette families. This book is primarily a study of the descendants of Benjamin Burdette and Benjamin Burdette Sr., who are not a father-and-son pair. In the same manner as the earlier Maryland Heritage books, this book begins with a look at the early history of the Maryland Colony, and the formation of the counties. The book is divided into four basic segments. In Chapters 1 through 5, it presents a study of the descendants of Benjamin Burdette, who died in 1833. In Chapters 6 through 8, it presents a study of Benjamin Burdette Sr., who also died in 1833. The third segment begins with Chapter 9, which gives descendants of John Burdette, who was born c. 1796. In Chapter 10, there is a brief discussion of the family of one Perry G. Burdette, born c. 1849. In Chapter 11 is described the family of Greenbury W. Burdette, born c. 1818. Each of these latter three chapters contain families who are probably related to one or the other of the principal Burdette lineages in chapters 1-8, but are not now proven to be. It is at least proven that some of their descendants intermarried with some of the other family members. Chapter 12 presents information discovered during research about a number of other Burdette family members who have not yet been placed within the framework of the groups under study in the first three segments of the text. A bibliography of about seventy-five titles testifies to the wide range of sources used in this compilation, and an every-name index supplies about 3,600 names. This book would be a welcome head start for anyone researching the Burdette surname in this area. H0837 - $29.00 |

A Brief
History of Roads in Virginia, 1607-1840. Published With Permission from the
Virginia Transportation Research Council (A Cooperative Organization
Sponsored Jointly by the Virginia Department of Transportation and the
University of Virginia). Virginia Genealogical Society. (1977, 2003), 2005,
8½x11, paper, 50 pp. The establishment
and maintenance of public roads were among the most important functions of
the county court during the colonial period in Virginia. Each road was opened
and maintained by an overseer (or surveyor) of the highways, who was
appointed each year by the Gentlemen Justices. The overseer was usually
assigned all the able-bodied men (the “Labouring
Male Tithables”) living on or near the road. These laborers
then furnished their own tools, wagons, and teams and were required to work
on the roads for six days each year. County court records relating to roads
and transportation are collectively know as “road
orders.” The Virginia Transportation Research Council’s published volumes of
road orders and related materials contain not only information on early
roads, but also the names of inhabitants who lived and worked along the
roadways, plantations, farms, landmarks, landforms, and bodies of water. Much
of this information is found nowhere else in early records, making these

heritages in Scotland; and the annual value of the same. The names and
addresses of owners of one acre and upwards are given, together with the
extent and annual value of their lands and heritages, and the number of
owners of less than one acre of land, with the aggregate extent and annual
value of their property. The Return is made up in Counties; with separate
Returns for Boroughs containing 20,000 inhabitants. The estimated acreage has
been obtained by the Surveyors of Stamps and Taxes from inquiry on the spot,
and from the best resources at their command. The duty imposed on these
officers in ascertaining the estimated extent or acreage of properties was

Bristol, Rhode Island's Early Settlers. Dorothy C.
Saunders. (1992), 2011, 5½x8½, paper, index, 216 pp. Bristol was originally considered part of Plymouth
Colony, then Massachusetts, and, finally in 1746/1747, Rhode Island. The town
was a major boat-building center and “became one of the most important ports
in New England.” “Many of these early Bristol settlers were the sons of
original immigrants to Plymouth Colony in the Cape Cod area, or [of] Lynn,
Ipswich, and Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Some of these families
stayed in Bristol for one or more generations before their children or
grandchildren moved on to Connecticut and New York State.” Settlement in the
mid-western states often followed. Information for this work was taken from
several sources: Bristol’s vital records and records from its two churches
(Congregational and St. Michael’s Episcopal), and from Bristol County’s
probate records. The families covered are those of the eighty-one settlers
who attended the town’s first meeting in 1681 as well as those who were the
original proprietors of the Mount Hope Lands that became Bristol. Two, occasionally
three, generations are covered. S3649
