These genealogical notices on 1,000 early settlers of Maine and New Hampshire constitute a crucial revision and
supplement to the Maine/New Hampshire entries in Savage's
Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England (also available on CD)
.
Compiled from public and private archives as well as ship passenger lists.
“It is encouraging to note the progress which the
study of genealogy has made within the last decade,
which may be said to mark an epoch in the family his-
tory of New England. Books like those which Mr.
Pope has compiled are invaluable as aids to this study,
since they furnish important clues to the genealogist,
which he could not obtain except by long research in
public and private archives alone familiar to experts
like Mr. Pope.
“The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire aims to
give such particulars as are accessible of the founders
of these states, and, in many cases, all the particulars
which exist; many, it is true, most meagre; but any one
who has sought through scores of obscure registers and
volumes difficult to reach, knows what the finding of a
single name sometimes means to him, for it often set-
tles a mooted point which nothing else can do.”
