Description

From Ancestry.com:
Of the forty-seven families set forth here (Hale and House and forty-five others), fourteen lived in Glastonbury or its mother town of Wethersfield, four were of Hartford, and two of Windsor; while on the Massachusetts side, fourteen lived in Springfield and six others were located in Northampton, Hadley, Hatfield, and Deerfield. Two were in Saybrook, at the mouth of the Connecticut River, and five were scattered. Mr. Jacobus, who built on Mr. Waterman's files, succeeded in presenting exhaustive data from original sources, in providing new interpretations as well as additions and corrections to existing literature, and in making the family accounts definitive. The index alone bears reference to some 16,500 persons.

The following, not including the Hale and House families, is a list of the main families treated in the work: Samuel Allen, William Backus, Mary Betts, John Bidwell, Thomas Bliss, Robert Blott, Samuel Boreman, Henry Burt, Richard Church, John Clark, Thomas Cooper, Robert Day, Emanuel Downing, John Dumbleton, William Edwards, Nathaniel Ely, John Frary, William Goodrich, Thomas Graves, William Hills, Luke Hitchcock, John Hollister, Edward Holyoke, Margaret (Baret) Huntington, John Keep, Thomas Kilbourn, Thomas Kimberly, John Leonard, Thomas Loveland, Thomas Marshfield, Matthew Marvin, Thomas Miller, William Pratt, William Pynchon, John Riley, John Scott, Rev. John Warham, Gov. Thomas Welles, John Wilcox, and Thomas Woolford.

From FHLC:
Samuel Hale (1615-1693) was born in England and immigrated to America in or before 1634. He and Mary Smith were married by or before 1643. They had eight children. He later married Phebe Bracy Dickinson Rose. He died in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Descendants lived chiefly in New England and Pennsylvania.
