I am interested in whatever information there may be on the Eames family and those related to them by marriage in MARSHFIELD, Autobiography of a Pilgrim Town, to which you refer in your message of May 7. Do you know where I might find a copy. Who was the author and by whom and when was it published? >> Dear Member, Hope you don't mind my replying to the list as I think this may be of interest to others as well. I have two books: MARSHFIELD, A Town of Villages 1640-1990 by Krusell & Bates 1990 Anthony EAMES is listed in the index on six different pages, along with several others by that surname. Found this info on internet: Marshfield A Town of Villages 1640 - 1990, is available at local bookstores, including Jackansons in downtown Marshfield. It is also available from the authors at hramarshfield.home.att.net/marshfield_history.htm The price is $40.00 plus tax (Just a note, z-shops at Amazon.com list this as a rare book and priced at $447. I'd order it from the authors and ask them to autograph it!) You can read more about the book here: http://www.marshfield.net/History/intro.html MARSHFIELD, Autobiography of a Pilgrim Town, 1640-1940 (some water damage) Copyright by Marshfield Historical Commission 1977 "Being an Accounty of three hundred Years of a New England Town; founded by the Pilgrims; lived in and developed by the Royalists; adopted by Daniel Webster & beloved by many of the Ancestors of those who today make it their home. Published by Marshfield Tercentenary Committee, Marshfield, Massachusetts 1940" I have no idea if this book is still available from the Marshfield society, but there are some companies who specialize in re-publishing these old books. My copy is a hardback of about 373 pages, I've had it for many many years and it was damaged in 1988 when my cottage was flooded, but it is still readable and I'll be happy to check the index for your names if you are patient (Like my book I am old and slow!) and I am happy to tell you there are several references for EAMES.
