WHC 2010.68Secondary Title
A study of the emigrants and emigration in colonial times to which are added lists of passengers to Boston and to the Bay Colony; the ships which brought them; their English homes, and the places of their settlement in Massachusetts 1620-1640.Description
Scrupulous in every detail, "Planters of the Commonwealth" contains the names of 3,600 passengers, or "planters" as they called themselves, on the ninety-six ships which brought them to New England between 1620 and 1640. Working with the same records employed by Savage, Drake, and Hotten, and with records unknown or inaccessible to them, Col. Banks here pulls the several classes of records together to form the most complete and authoritative collection of passenger lists for the period ever published. In addition to the names of passengers and ships, places of origin, and places of residence in America, the book includes indexes to surnames, ships, English parishes, and New England towns.
