Ancestors and Descendants of William Joseph Finn
Vibrant threads of ambition and persistence run through the five Finn generations detailed in this truly American story. This volume traces the line of descent from Peter Finn (ca. 1800–ca. 1847), a tenant farmer in County Longford, Ireland, through three generations, to the eleven children of William Joseph and Katherine Irene (Mullen) Finn of Canton, Massachusetts. William (1881–1942) was a Canton textile mill owner whose grandfather, James Finn (1825–1871), left Ireland for Massachusetts, alone, in 1841 as a teenage pauper.

History and Antiquities of Every Town in Massachusetts
American historian and engraver John Warner Barber (1798–1885) was well known for his books on local, state, and national history. This work, organized by county, gives historical background on all the Massachusetts towns that existed at the time of publication in 1839. Barber supplies facts and details of each town’s early settlement, including original Native American place names, and he presents statistics on local industries and agriculture, descriptions of landmark architecture and cultural organizations, and brief biographical sketches of historic residents.
Fruits of the Tree of Life: New Discoveries
Between 1785 and 1825, Americans of European descent began to document their familial relationships, which had been gradually developing in a colonial and post-colonial setting. Some calligraphic and genealogical artists found ways to memorialize and celebrate these ties for current and future generations and began to advertise their talents. Decorated watercolor and embroidered registers started to appear in everyday households and were occasionally listed in probate inventories. Many were made by school children.
Four Families of St. Mary’s County
This ground-breaking work traces 1,500 descendants of four families from St. Mary’s County, Maryland, 800 of whom are progeny of three Georgetown Memory Project slaves sold in 1838 but who remained in Maryland for more than 200 years. After another 150 years, many are still there, but most who migrated after 1900 remain in the greater Chesapeake Bay area.
