I received a 4 volume set of books called "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts" Prepared under the editorial supervision of William Richard Cutter, AM, Historian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society; Librarian of Woburn Public Library; Author of "The Cutter Family," "History of Arlington," "Bibliography of Woburn," etc.etc. Published in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1908. The INTRODUCTORY says..." The present work, "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts", presents in the aggregate an amount and variety of genealogical and personal information and portraiture unequalled by any kindred publication.... The object, clearly defined and well digested, was threefold: First: To present in concise form the history of established families of Boston and its immediate vicinity, and Eastern Massachusetts. Second: To preserve a record of their prominent present-day people. Third: To present through personal sketches, linked with the genealogical narrative, the relation of the prominent familes of all times to the growth, singular prosperity and widespread influence of the historic old City of Boston and the region belonging to it by historical association and community interest..." Will be happy to do lookups. Please note "Look up-Early Families of Boston" in the subject line. Will do one family name at a time and will advise you of how much information is available. Will copy and mail information if more than a few paragraphs for the costs of copying and mailing. A lot of the families started in Maine and New Hampshire.
