About the Book

After many years of accumulating data about New England settlements, this resulting book provides a useful listing for genealogists or history aficionados that is organized by what would ultimately become the six New England States. Whenever possible, each settlement entry, alphabetized within the state, indicates the county, date of first settlement, name changes (cross-referenced and including Native American names in many cases), date of incorporation and some extraneous comments of interest. A typical sample in Massachusetts would be: "Salem: Essex Co., Settlement in 1626 called Naumkeag, Inc. in 1629 as Salem". The next entry gives the reader information that helps differentiate between Salem and Salem Village, a common problem: "Salem Village: Essex Co., Settlement in 1626 called Salem Village, Called Salem Village, a V. in Salem in 1629, Called Danvers a V. in Salem in 1752, Inc. in 1757 as Danvers". In addition to the directory of settlements, chronological sections at the beginning of each state listing give the reader a framework of the political events that affect the development and control over the settlements. The oldest timeline entry is shown under Maine: "1606: First Virginia Charter; Present-day Maine, from the Piscataqua to Kennebec Rivers was included as part of the 1606 First Virginia Charter granted to the Virginia Company of Plymouth." As we know, the "Mayflower" had an intended destination much further South but, as one historian put it, the Puritans ran out of beer off Cape Cod.
About the Author: Steven Herrick was born in Bar Harbor, a small Maine coastal town, the son of a commercial fisherman and a sardine factory worker. Thirty-six years later, when he and his family migrated to California, he acquired an address that, for the first time in his life, didn't contain the word "Harbor". Following a finance career in Maine, California and Oregon, he retired and relocated to Missouri City, Texas. He is a Herrick Family historian and custodian of many records and artifacts covering more than 360 years of his ancestors living on the coast of Maine.
