hi all-i belong to several lines of Early Settlers in the Salem mass Colony area in the Earliest 1600s on ...i have lots of info & am slowly documenting the info-thankfully it all adds up so far-Salem seems to have kept an inordinate amount of Records...even ones NOT about Witches!)
but, i have found it hard to correct anyone when i DO have the back up for it-thats their family & thats that most of the time...too bad for the future researchers!
Happy Huting !

I agree that the first settlers of New England with REGISTERED birth
dates would be after 1620, but keep in mind that the Mayflower sent a
boat to Damiscove Island (Maine) for supplies. There were fishermen
(probably no families or at least none recorded) in Maine who only lived
there seasonally before the Mayflower arrived.

Dale, your observation was "right on!"

" I have given up trying to correct such misinformation. Most of it seems to
come from folks who pride themselves on the number of people posted on
their site, and not on the accuracy of the data about those people."

I cannot believe the things people put into their files. They call it
"research" and then become very indignant when it's questioned. Even when they
are presented with enormous amounts of evidence that something is different
they take the attitude that if it was in someone else's file on the web, it must
be valid.

Okay, off my soap box.

What I find unbelievable are those people who claim they can trace their
lineage back to Adam and Eve.

David -

I'm not familiar with Edward Spaulding, and don't see him in a quick glance
through some of my major Mayflower references. What was his Mayflower ancestry?

Quite true. Fortunately there are many people on this list, and on other
RootsWeb lists that I sub, who set a good example with their own work, and
who point out the need to verify all information, regardless of the source.

As most of you know, there was a settlement in Maine in the earliest
1600's...about 1608 (rough guess)... There were also very early
settlement in Virginia.

Did some searching with google and found, on the following page:

http://www.state.ma.us/sec/cis/cismaf/mf2.htm

an interesting article...the following is excerpted from it:

"Tragically, early European travelers introduced new
diseases to which the Indians had no natural immunities. The first recorded
epidemics began in coastal Massachusetts in 1616 and 1617, and devastated
populations by as much as 90%. When the Pilgrims arrived in 1620 they
found many areas abandoned. "

The Boston Marriages for the years 1726 to 1732 (7 years) have just been
added to my web site in the past week. This makes the web site include
all from 1680 to 1732.

More Boston marriages will be added over time, given the size of Boston
this will be an ongoing project.

At this locatin you will also find other early records recorded in
Boston for other towns around it.

Thanks to everyone that responded to my query about history, dates, data =

first settlers in Massachusetts.

I just joined the list last night due to all this conflicting data I keep=

seeing and not knowing what to do about it.

Just a note: I was using the word Pilgrim in the historical sense that I'=
ve=20
seen in several genealogical publications that all of our ancestors that=20
emigrated to the colonies before 1700 are Pilgrims -- not just those that=
=20
were/are called Pilgrims that came on the ship the Mayflower.

Blessings to all this Easter Day,
