The book, “Transcripts of Original Documents in the English Archives Relating to the Early History of the State of New Hampshire,” edited by John Scribner Jenness, Privately Printed, New York ,1876, is available at http://home.insightbb.com/~geneo.sales/ on fully linked CD.

This is a very scarce and rare book. The data in it was excerpted from the original archives in England. It contains important early New Hampshire genealogy information and valuable historical data for New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and other New England areas.

There are abstracts of records and correspondence between England and the first settlers in New Hampshire, in chronological order, from 1615-1684. These Include indentures, reports of crime & insurrection, colonial state correspondence, petitions to the King and his councils, fishing & trade records, patent records, personal letters, etc. There are many, many individuals, obscure historical events, and locales listed in the various documents. Here is a list of names from a ‘quick’ scan of the documents (I’m sure I missed many):

These names reflect the spelling as found in the book. The transcriptions are in ‘old’ English & spelling in the 1600’s was pretty much as the writer wanted it. Please note: This is a scan of the original book converted to Adobe PDF format and written on a CD-ROM.
