A History of the Early Settlement of Newton, County of Middlesex, Massachusetts

by Francis Jackson

2009 · Genealogical Publishing Com

This work is based upon the parish register from 1757 to 1906 of the Reformed Church in New Hackensack, New York. The church was founded by a mixture of Dutch, Walloon, Palatine, and British individuals who found their way to New Hackensack in Dutchess County from New York City, Westchester, Long Island, and, obviously, New Jersey. The register itself includes 2,500 baptismal records followed by marriage records from 1765 to 1906, stating the names of the bride and groom, the date of the marriage, the name of the officiating minister, and sometimes such details as place of birth or residence.

Complete Works

by Francis Johnson

This publication presents the first critical edition dedicated to Francis Johnson (1792–1844), a seminal Black composer and bandleader in the early nineteenth-century United States. Encompassing nearly three hundred extant compositions and arrangements, this volume addresses a significant gap in musicological scholarship by presenting the surviving works of Johnson’s prolific and varied output in their entirety. The stellar reputation of Johnson and his band led to tours in Canada, England, and much of the United States, as well as performances at prominent national events—such as presidential inaugurations, the centenary of George Washington’s birth, and the Marquis de Lafayette’s vaunted 1824 return to the United States. By assembling his complete surviving works, this edition offers an indispensable resource for performers, scholars, and students, facilitating renewed engagement with Johnson’s contributions to the musical and cultural history of both Black Americans and the United States as a whole.

Building a New Jerusalem

by Francis J. Bremer

2012 · Yale University Press

John Davenport, who cofounded the colony of New Haven, has been neglected in studies that view early New England primarily from a Massachusetts viewpoint. Francis J. Bremer restores the clergyman to importance by examining Davenport’s crucial role as an advocate for religious reform in England and the Netherlands before his emigration, his engagement with an international community of scholars and clergy, and his significant contributions to colonial America. Bremer shows that he was in many ways a remarkably progressive leader for his time, with a strong commitment to education for both women and men, a vibrant interest in new science, and a dedication to upholding democratic principles in churches at a time when many other Puritan clergymen were emphasizing the power of their office above all else. Bremer’s enlightening and accessible biography of an important figure in New England history provides a unique perspective on the seventeenth-century transatlantic Puritan movement.
