The Middlesex County, Virginia Court Order Book (May 1783-April 1784) includes various court cases, appointments, names of deceased residents, many named slaves with some owners who registered them as "set free of County Levy," county officials being paid in pounds of tobacco for their official duties, and several references to the Revolutionary War effort wherein individuals listed the items or services rendered for the cause.Information found in the Land Records (October 1785-1790) documents includes various family relationships, some prenuptial agreements, the approximate dates of deaths, the names of hundreds of slaves and their owners (who bought, sold, gifted, or put them up for collateral for land, and used them to pay off the owner's previous debts). The main agricultural crop was tobacco, which was used in barter and payment for salaries of officials and purchase of land. A few items are dated earlier than 1785 and a couple are dated in 1791.A full-name and place index adds to the value of this work.

This particular volume concentrates on the westward migration of the Hxnsons and is a must for anyone interested in the Hanson/Henson/Hinson/Hynson surname, allied families, and friends! Some of the names in these records include connections which cannot be found elsewhere. The discovery of the Cumberland Gap opened the floodgates for westward migration and the Hxnsons went along with other early pioneers who poured into Kentucky and Tennessee in search of cheap land and a better life. Many of these records contain vital information as to where these pioneers came from and where they went as they moved further west. Connections can be made to states as far west as California and most states in between. Military pension and early land grant records are included which give a wealth of information for these pioneers and their descendants, including connections to Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia in the late 1600s and early 1700s. This volume also includes documented records of early settlers who intermarried with Cherokee Indians and will prove to be a real bonus for those who are looking for Indian connections.Entries are presented in a convenient table format, grouped by state with Hansons, Hensons, Hinsons, and Hynsons listed alphabetically by first name within each state. Eleven column headings include: LN (first two letters of the last name), FIRSTNAME, IO (initial only), FATHER, MOM_SPOUSE, EVENT, EVENTDATE, CITY, COUNTY_PAR (parish), ST (state), and SOURCE. A full-name index of allied family names adds to the value of this work.Ethel Nerim Miner has been a professional genealogist for over twenty years. She has concentrated her research efforts on the Hxnson line, almost exclusively, since 1985.

The town of Newington lies north and west of Portsmouth. Originally a part of Dover called Bloody Point, it was separated as a town, in its own right, in 1713. Being so close to the earliest settlements in New Hampshire, Newington is an important town for anyone doing research into 17th and 18th century New Hampshire.Compilation of this major work was prompted by the difficulty Mr. Hardon had in using copies of Rev. Joseph Adam's record of baptisms and marriages, 1716-1783. It occurred to him that he could save himself (and other researchers) time, and also clear up uncertainties, if he rearranged the records into family groups. Mr. Hardon then made numerous additions to Adam's work, from such sources as the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, various volumes of the New Hampshire State Papers and published genealogies.For some families the entries are brief - perhaps just a few marriages or baptisms. But for many the treatment is so lengthy that it amounts to a genealogy in itself. Entries are listed alphabetically by surname then by generation. Information includes birth, baptism and death dates, covenants, communions, marriages, parentage, occupations, affiliations with certain organizations, administration of estates, conveyed property, and other facts of interest to the genealogist. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.

"Here upon the soil of the first free State west of the Mississippi River the lines from the North and the South converged; the varied habits of life, traits of character, manners, customs, and beliefs were to be moulded and fashioned together; and out of the combination was to come that which to-day is characterized as 'Western Quakerism'." The author, a member of the Society of Friends, has compiled material from a wealth of manuscripts at Penn College in Oskaloosa, the Library of the State Historical Society of Iowa, and personal correspondence with various sects. This work was written at the request of the State Historical Society of Iowa to document the considerable influence of Iowa's small Quaker population on Iowa history.A brief historical account of the rise and spread of Quakerism provides a foundation for further exploration of the history and evolution of Iowa Quakers, including the organization's structure and a look at some of the factions of the Friends in Iowa, including: Anti-Slavery Friends, Hicksite Friends, Wilbur Friends, Conservative Friends, and Norwegian Friends of Iowa; benevolent and educational enterprises including African Americans, American Indians, White's Iowa Manual Labor Institute, Missionary activities, and educational issues. The author touches on Quakerism in England during the reign of the Stuarts, the persecution of the first Quaker immigrants to America, the "Holy Experiment" of William Penn, the exodus of Quakers from the South due to their abhorrence of the institute of slavery, the first Quaker settlers in Iowa, Isaac Pidgeon (1835), the expansion of Quaker settlements (1850-1860), the establishment of a yearly meeting, and humanitarian efforts into the early 1900's.
