"This work is of vital importance in libraries where there is any call for the reading of records in Latin," according to the "Library Journal," January 16, 1966, as well as for any researcher reviewing 17th to 19th century English documents, which often contain Latin and French abbreviations. The author, Mr. Martin, the late Assistant-Keeper of the Public Records in London, developed this guide to assist the researcher with questions relative to these abbreviations, which may arise during their investigation or review. The information contained in this work includes: (1) Abbreviations of Latin words used in English records; (2) Abbreviations of French words used in English records; (3) Glossary of Latin words found in records and other English manuscripts, but not occurring in classical authors; (4) Latin names of places in Great Britain and Ireland; (5) Latin names of bishoprics in England; (6) Latin names of bishoprics in Scotland; (7) Latin names of bishoprics in Ireland; (8) Latin forms of English surnames; and (9) Latin Christian names with their English equivalents.

The great Valley of Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, lies near the present north-western border of the State, between the Blue Ridge and the first ranges of the Alleghanies. The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is formed by the nine counties of Augusta, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Page, Warren, Frederick, and Clarke, of Virginia; with Berkeley, and Jefferson of West Virginia. The great majority of the German element was made up of the descendants of early immigrants who arrived in America prior to 1800, and came across the Potomac above Harper's Ferry, from Maryland and Pennsylvania, with more to follow from New Jersey, New York , North Carolina, and the East Virginia counties of Spottsylvania, Orange, and Madison. Following the period of the Revolutionary War, the German element in the Valley was considerably increased by Hessian soldiers who came over in the English service, and remained in America. This work, like many of this era, provides a descriptive account of the geography and topography of the Valley, early settlers and settlements, government institutions, wars, religion, education, and industry. The author's scholarly approach provides the researcher with a wealth of information relative to the Valley, and includes an Appendix and a Bibliography, which outlines sources and research material. Genealogists will appreciate the various lists of testators, persons selling land, legislators, revolutionary pensioners, etc. Softcover, (1907), 2011, Appendix, Bibliography, Index, 328 pp.

Mr. Saffell, a Counsellor and Agent for Revolutionary Claims, prepared this work as a reference source for those researching information on officers and soldiers serving in the Revolutionary War. This book, including the first two editions, was used extensively during the latter-half of the 19th century by historians investigating the different locations and movements of the army, and in showing the whereabouts of individual officers, regiments, detachments, and corps, as well as in giving the precise dates of important events. Moreover, the manuscript, which contains rosters and service records of approximately 15,000 soldiers, proved invaluable for those searching for information on their ancestors. Specifically, this work contains the military and financial correspondence of distinguished officers; names of officers and privates of regiments, companies, and corps, with the dates of their commissions and enlistments; general orders of Washington, Lee and Greene at Germantown and Valley Forge; a list of Distinguished prisoners of war; the time of their capture, exchange, etc.; the Half-Pay Acts of the Continental Congress; the Revolutionary Pension Laws; and a list of the officers of the Continental Army who acquired the right to half-pay, commutation, and lands. Also bound with this book is, the Index to Saffell's List of Virginia Soldiers in the Revolution, by J. T. McAllister, published in 1913, which enhances the utility of the work. Softcover, (1894), reprinted 2011, Index, 606 pp.

Introduction written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. With new Index of names. This book has been resurrected after lying dormant for nearly a century. Reportedly used as a reference and textbook in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, it has recently been the subject of several high-profile discussions on American History as it relates to the treatment and recognition of African American contributions at the time of our nation's founding. In Colored Patriots of the American Revolution, Mr. Nell has documented the African American heroes and patriots who fought during the Revolutionary War, many of which, apparently, have been forgotten by historians and writers. He identifies many black soldiers, including Crispus Attucks, the first martyr in the Boston Massacre; Henry Hill, a veteran of numerous battles, including Lexington, Princeton, and Yorktown; Peter Salem, Titus Coburn, Alexander Ames, Barzilai Lew, Cato Howe, Seymour Burr, Jeremy Jonah and numerous others. In addition to identifying and discussing many of these individuals and the events in which they participated, he often narrates subsequent historical events and or issues in which they were the subject. This work is impressive not only for its wide-ranging scope but for its rich and thorough documentation. Information was obtained from such repositories as the Massachusetts state house archives, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the Suffolk County Probate Records Office, inscriptions from graveyards in Middletown, Connecticut, North Attleboro and Concord, Massachusetts, as well as the Massachusetts State House, Federal Records, Newspapers throughout the United States, and many other publications. In addition to these sources, he also relied upon the memories, accounts, and writings of individuals, as well as other institutional records. This book is an excellent source for historians, genealogists, and instructors of African American history. Softcover, (1855), reprinted 2010, Illus., Index, 415 pp.

Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, the town's sectors or institutions. There are also numerous lists and military rosters of those who served, elected officials, and of individuals involved in the commercial and ecclesiastical development. The second section of the book, the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families," comprises an alphabetical listing beginning with the immigrant ancestor, and progresses through five or more generations, providing names, birth and marriage dates, and, often times, a narrative of the background and accomplishments of the individual. In addition to this alphabetically arranged register, an index is also available, which exceeds more than 12,000 entries.Following are the immigrant surnames whose genealogies are outlined: Avery, Babcock, Baldwin, Bennett, Bentley, Billings, Breed, Brown, Browning, Burch, Burrows, Chapman, Chesebrough, Clift, Coates, Cobb, Collins, Copp, Cottrell, Davis, Dean, Denison, Eells, Fanning, Fish, Frink, Gallup, Gore, Grant, Greenman, Haley, Hallam, Hancox, Hart, Hewitt, Hinckley, Hobart, Holmes, Hull, Hyde, Kellogg, Main, Mallory, Manning, Mathews, Mason, Miner, Morgan, Noyes, Page, Palmer, Park, Peabody, Pendleton, Phelps, Pollard, Pomeroy, Prentice, Randall, Rhodes, Rossiter, Russell, Searle, Sheffield, Sisson, Smith Stanton, Stewart/Steward, Swan, Thompson, Trumbull, Vincent, West, Wheeler, Wilcox, Williams, Witter, Woodbridge, and York.

This book was excerpted from the Third Biennial Report of the Department of Archives and History of the State of West Virginia, published in 1911. The author, Mr. Lewis, was the State Historian and Archivist for the State of West Virginia, and, thus, the individual responsible for the compilation and submission of the aforementioned report. This work provides one of the most comprehensive listings of soldiers in Western Virginia serving in the French and Indian War, Lord Dunmore's War, The Revolution, the Later Indian Wars, the Whiskey Insurrection, the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, and other smaller skirmishes. Though the content of the rosters vary, most contain the soldiers' names, ranks, unit commanders, and periods of service, other rosters may include memoranda, service record data, and some payroll information. Thousands of individuals have been identified from military reports and records, and both published and unpublished sources. Softcover, (1911), repr. 2010, 239 pp.
