Duxbury was founded by migrants from the town of Plymouth,      Massachusetts in 1632. Duxbury's importance in Mayflower genealogy is      irrefutable, and it is underscored by the simple fact that the town was      named for Duxbury Hall, the seat of Miles Standish's ancestral home in      England. Justin Winsor's venerable history of Duxbury commences with      chapters on the settlement and incorporation of the town; boundaries, roads      and landmarks; first settlers; schools and education; and early contact with      the Indian population. Subsequent chapters are concerned with lists of      17th-century town officers, Duxbury in the colonial wars, the American      Revolution and the War of 1812, and the history of the Congregational Church      in Duxbury. Of greatest interest to researchers, over one-third of the      volume is devoted to genealogical notes and sketches of more than 200 early      families of Duxbury, including the ones that follow: Alden, Arnold, Baker,      Barker, Bartlett, Bisbee, Bishop, Bonney, Bosworth, Bourn, Bradford,      Brewster, Briggs, Brown, Bryant, Bumpus, Burgess, Carver, Chandler, Chapman,      Church, Clark, Cole, Cullifer, Curtis, Cushing, Cushman, Dawes, Delano,      Dingley, Drew, Dwelley, Eaton, Ford, Frazar, Freeman, Glass, Hall, Harlow,      Hathaway, Holmes, House, Howard, Howland, Hudson, Hunt, Kein, Lambert,      Lazell, Leonard, Loring, Louden, Mitchell, Mullins, Nash, Oldham, Pabodie,      Partridge, Peirce, Peterson, Phillips, Prince, Prior, Ripley, Rogers,      Sampson, Seabury, Shaw, Simmons, Soule, Southworth, Sprague, Standish,      Starr, Sylvester, Thomas, Wadsworth, Weston, Winsor, and Wormall.

The Center
A Guide to Genealogical Research in The National Capital Area
Christina K. Schaefer
Softbound oversize volume totaling
160
pages. Book is in new condition. Per the publisher;
It is not generally recognized, but Washington, D.C. is home to the largest body of accessible research materials in the world, larger even than the vast body of materials at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. It is the central repository of the nation's primary source records and the very center of genealogical activity.
The aim of this book is to identify those resources in the Washington, D.C. area that will aid family historians in tracing their ancestors (the National Archives, Library of Congress, the DAR Library, the National Genealogical Society, and many more). While it is based on the original idea of the popular guidebook,
Lest We Forget
(originally published in 1965),
The Center
is actually an all-new work which completely revises and updates its predecessor. Under each facility listed there is a survey of key record holdings, with a description of the records, a summary of their contents, an explanation of their organization, and directions for their use. There is also a list of published indexes and finding aids, key addresses for mail requests, publications, phone numbers and hours of business, and an itemization of those materials available through the Family History Library system.
