Context

Printed registers such as this have been very popular for over two centuries. Similar posters can be purchased today for documenting family genealogy. This particular example documents Lewis Bancroft, his two wives, Lucy Jane Mallary and Mary H. Bancroft and their families. It was begun about 1847 and the last entry is in 1888. Based on handwriting, it appears that this register was started at the time of Lucy Jane Mallary's death.
