American Presidential Families $49.95 ( In print at $160.00)
(this is the last copy I have)
Hugh Brogan & Charles Mosley
New York: Macmillan 1993
This is the first book of its kind to give narrative detail not only on the immediate
families of the Presidents but on their ancestries and descendants. American Presidential
Families covers every occupant of the White House, from Washington to Clinton.
Except in the case of Clinton, whose administration is too young to permit an overview of
his political achievements (although the latest research on his relatives is covered),
each President is discussed in two essays. One examines his career as statesman, the other
his family background. Letters, diaries and private information have been used as well as
published sources such as biographies. In addition there are tables giving details of
presidential ancestors and descendants, together with pictures not just of every President
but of his wife or wives and other members of his family where they played a significant
role in his career.
The publishers of American Presidential Families also own the distinguished reference work
Burke's Peerage & Baronetage and one of the most noticeable aspects of this book is
how often a President or his family has links with a peer's or baronet's family in the
British Isles: Washington and the Lords Fairfax, the Adamses and the Downing baronets,
James K. Polk and the family of Lord Newton, or Teddy Roosevelt and the brewing dynasty of
the Lords Burton. Indeed American Presidential Families could be called an example of the
"special relationship" in book form and paves the way for future new
editions of Burke's Peerage & Baronetage.

This book is a chronicle of the ancestors of the author's children as they

and development of New England and its people while illuminating episodes of
the American experience spanning more than three centuries as lived by
ordinary people forging a New World

(from the introduction) "Born in England in 1602, Robert Adams came

"He is believed by many to have come from Devonshire, and to have been a
son of Robert and Elizabeth Sharlon or Sharland, connected with the Ap
Adam pedigree, and through that connection to have been a cousin of
Henry Adams of Braintree (afterward Quincy, Mass.), the ancestor of the
presidents, John and John Quincy Adams."

Cowdrey
- Cowdery - Cowdray Genealogy William Cowdery of Lynn, Mass., 1630 & his
Descendants $49.95
Mary Bryant Alverson. Mehling
Salem: Higginson Book Company reprint of the 1911 edition
(from the preface)
“William Cowdrey, of Weymouth, England, who came to America in 1630,
spelled the name at times, Cowdrey, and at other times Cowdery. I have
seen it in his own handwriting spelled both ways. The old time Town
Clerk spelled the name according to its pronunciation, Cowdry.
Nathaniel, son of William, followed the example of his father; his name
being found spelled in three different ways. His descendants became more
particular, however, and after the marriage of Nathaniel (1660) to Mary
Bachelder, we find most of the descendants of Samuel, the son of
Nathaniel's first wife, Elizabeth, spelling the name Cowdery; while the
children of Nathaniel's second wife, Mary Bach-elder, spelled it
Cowdrey. One family in Ohio have adopted the French form, Coudray.
The dates in this book have been obtained from old family Bibles; the
Town Records of East Haddam, Conn., Charlestown, Mass., Boston, Mass.,
Middletown, Conn., East Hampton, Conn., Sandisfield, Conn., Roxbury,
Mass., Chelmsford, Mass., Westford, Mass., Reading, Mass., and
Tunbridge, Vt.; the Records of the First Church of Charlestown, Mass.,
from 1632 to 1789; Brattle Street Church records, Boston, Mass., Old
South Church Records, Boston, Mass., and the First Congregational Church
Records of Reading, Mass. Dates have also been taken from Savage's
Genealogical Dictionary; Histories of Reading, Lynn, Westford, Acton,
Billerica, Henniker, and Berkshire, Mass., and other works too numerous
to mention. In some instances the dates have been taken from grave
stones, while the date of a certain marriage was found recorded on a
pillow case, yellow from age, where it had been written in a spirit of
fun. In many instances two or more dates have been given. Wherever this
has occurred, the second date has been put in brackets.
With much gratitude to all who have aided and encouraged me in the work,

The Thomas Lamonts in America $18.00
London: A.S. Barnes, 1971.
Corliss LaMont (ED)
(from the end flaps) "This is the story of six generations of a distinguished American
family the Thomas Lamonts-and it spans in time the greater part of two centuries. The
authors are many and include four generations of Lamonts, the late British Poet Laureate
John Masefield, who was a close friend of the family, and Nathan M. Pusey, former
President of Harvard University. The editor of the volume, Dr. Corliss Lamont, has chosen
a wide variety of materials from memoirs, reports, letters, poems, and essays.
Dr. Lamont writes an illuminating Preface and a memorable appreciation of his warm and
many-sided parents financier Thomas W. Lamont and Florence Corliss Lamont. His
grandfather, the Reverend Thomas Lamont, born in 1832, tells of his simple boyhood in
upstate New York where he daily helped with work on the family farm, and goes on to
describe his life as a Methodist minister in a small town during the second half of the
nineteenth century. He also provides the historic setting for the saga of the Lamonts,
recounting their origin centuries ago in the Clan Lamont of Scotland, and their coming, by
way of Northern Ireland, to America about 1750.
Thomas W. Lamont gives the inside story of his trips-part business, part pleasure to
Europe, the Far East, South Africa, and Mexico. His son Thomas S. Lamont, in a genial,
thoughtful essay, sketches in the many strands of the family past. And four of his
grandchildren, expressing the viewpoint of the younger generation, make their own
particular contributions to this Lamont anthology.
For this book John Masefield wrote both a memoir about the Lamont family and a lyrical
poem, "The Western Hudson Shore" about the great gaunt cliffs of the Palisades.
Recently retired President Pusey of Harvard summarizes the important role of Thomas S.
Lamont in Harvard affairs.
Highlights in the volume are the account of how some 200 Lamonts were treacherously
massacred by the Campbells in 1646; how bandits plotted to kidnap Thomas W. Lamont during
his trip to Mexico; how seaman Thomas W. Lamont 11, the family poet and a young man of
great promise, went down to his death on the submarine USS. Snook in the Pacific during
World War II; and how Mrs. Florence Lamont, keeping her eyes closed, lured an English
robin to take currants from between her lips.
The Thomas Lamonts in America, which contains more than a dozen family photographs, adds
up to genuine Americana refreshing to read in these troubled times."

Genealogy of the Odiorne Family in America $85.00

Revised edition of the 1875 genealogy of the Odiorne Family.
part of first page) (1-1) JOHN ODIORNE, son of William and Agnes (Hickins) Odiorne of
Sheviock, Cornwall, England. The parish register of Sheviock, which is about 7 miles from Plymouth, contains the names of John and Philip, sons of William Odiorne. John was born about 1628, being baptized in Sheviock on 1628/9. He died in New Castle, N.H., in 1707.
It is not known in just which year this ancestor came to America, but in 1656 he purchased from Oliver Trimmings, some land on Great Island, in Portsmouth Harbor. Then, on the 13th of Jan. 1660, a division of public lands was made at Portsmouth, N.H., among those who were inhabitants there in 1657, and to John Odiorne a grant was made of forty-two acres on Great Island. Later in the year 1660 he sold his fishing outfit on Smuttinose Island (one of the Isles of Shoals) and bought that section of land at the mouth of the Piscataqua River which is now known as Odiorne's Point (Appendix B). There he built his home. This land remained in the Odiorne family for almost 300 years.
From 1657 to 1671 his name appears on the town records of subscriptions for the support of religious worship. In 1686 he was a member of the grand jury.
His wife was Mary Johnson, daughter of James and Mary Johnson, whom he married in 1667. James Johnson was one of the first colony of 80 persons sent out by James Mason and was at Kittery, Maine in 1636. He died June 8, 1678....

Olive Ann Hunkins (6) 1837-1906
This record is not complete. All material at hand has been included here
but the main effort has been to gather the facts concerning our own branch
of the Hunkins family. Some of this material does not, at this later date,
seem to relate closely to our own line; however, I am sure that in the
generations who lived at Haverhill, Mass. and at Sanbornton, N.H. there
was a wide and close family unity. It is also interesting to consider that
many of the surnames which appear here were very common ones - of large
family antecedents - in the Haverhill, Mass. vicinity. Obviously many
families moved from that locale to Sanbornton, N.H. and the Hunkins were
aligned with them in both places.
It is also pertinent to remark that up to the 5th generation this record
included only the male lines. Beginning at the 5th generation, many of the
female lines are included.
Lastly - which probably should have been said firstly - the generations
are not numbered from an emigrant ancestor. The research necessary to
discover who was the emigrant ancestor has not been done. Jeannette
Morrill's manuscript began with the Robert Hunkins born in 1679 "according
to tradition" in the family. It is reasonably certain that he was born in
Haverhill, Mass. He married into a Page family that had already been in
America for nearly half a century and very likely his own family had been
colonists for several generations. This Hunkins-Page marriage took place
in 1706 and one hundred and fifty-seven years later a Hunkins daughter
(our grandmother) married another Page, in the same direct line. There are
other interesting connections between these families but not all within
the lines of our immediate family. Theda Page Brigham 1964

Descendants of Henry Travers $95.00
By Nathan Hagar Daniels
Boston, Ma 1903
(From the introductory note:) "MANY years ago the subject of
ancestry began to attract attention. The compiler of these records became
interested in it along his Travis line, during a long illness. He had known some
of his relatives bearing the name of Travis, brothers and sisters of his
mother's mother, but all, with one exception, had passed off the stage ere this
inquiry began; so but very little information could be had from the immediate
family as to their ancestors, beyond their uncles and aunts.
By much patient research and travel, extending over eighteen years, and a large
expenditure of money, the results here recorded have been gained, and
gratification is had in tracing the line unbroken from Henry Travers who arrived
from London, England, in the Ship " Mary and John " at Agawam, now
Ipswich, in 1634, down to the present time, and to find representatives of the
family showing their love of country in every emergency requiring patriotic
service, from King Philip's war to the war of the Rebellion. The descendants of
Henry Travers have thus had part and parcel in the development of our beloved
New England, from its infancy.
James Travis, born in Newbury, Mass., in 1645, the only son of Henry Travers,
was one of the early settlers of Brookfield, Mass., in 1668, and a petitioner
for its incorporation "Oct ye 10 1673." He probably left Brookfield
with his family before the Indian troubles there culminated, but no record has
been found to show where his family went, nor of his or their return to
Brookfield.
Later his children were in Framingham and Sherborn, and later still his
descendants were in Holliston, Natick, Sudbury, Waltham and Weston, in
Massachusetts. One branch located in Deering, N. H., and their descendants in
that State are numerous. The name is now well represented in Natick, Framingham,
and adjoining towns in Massachusetts, and commands respect.
To the painstaking labor of Mr. Henry A. May, a genealogist of experience, I am
much indebted for results attained". NATHAN HAGAR

Heritage, 1994, rev. ed
A product of an extremely hearty family (his father lived to be 87, his grandfather 87,
and his great-grandfather 88), Samuel W. Wallace (1795-1886) himself lived to be 91. The
genealogy traces 1673 descendants of this singular man, with information on his sibling's
families and additional information on the Kirby, Hodges and Davis families. The book is
jammed with extracts from documents that support the suppositions, and the author has
avoided any questionable data.
