Book Description
My Family in America since 1620 reaches back to the early years of the European presence in North America to tell how William Brewster, one of the leading Pilgrims on the Mayflower, came to America in 1620. For the author, this is not simply American history, it is his familys story, as he is a descendant of William Brewster on his mothers side of the family. Echoing the work of another ancestor, Benjamin Mayberry Prentiss, who was known for his rope-making, the author twists together the findings from historical research with the collective memory of his own family. This creates the threads of a narrative that is both personal recollection and collective history. Photographs supplement this story, illustrating the people, places, and objects that figured in the history of the authors family. Approaching both types of history in this fashion, My Family in America since 1620 reveals how each eras events touched the life of the authors family. The reader journeys with the Carter Wagon Train from Indiana to Missouri in 1841, into the conflict of the Civil War, through the Depression, onto the battlefields of World War II, and through the highlights of the authors rise to prominence. My Family in America since 1620 promises to tell a distinctive story of the history of the United States and of a family whose roots find their grounding in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and whose branches have grown and spread across the lands of this continent for almost four centuries.

Book Description
I have always wanted to write about my Family's history because it coincides the History of America starting from the Mayflower to September 11th. Most of the major American events my family played an important part or were eyewitnesses to it, whether it was the Mayflower, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the U.S. Government, going through Ellis Island and one of the darkest days in American History, September 11, 2001. Six Massachusetts towns were co-founded by Ancestors of mine. They were Farmers, Soldiers, Deacons, two were sons of a Shoemaker, they would become Civil War Heroes, then one would become an Oil Dealer and eventually became a Vice-President for the Standard Oil Company and the other would go to work for the Railroads in Iowa to get away from the memories of the Civil War, one was a sailor and eventually became a Sea Captain and two were World War II Heroes.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Doty-Doten Family in America: Descendants of Edward Doty, an Emigrant by the Mayflower, 1620 In the early Autumn of 1871 I received from the late Rev. Silas Kut c'hum, of Bristol, N. H., a circular stating that'fhe was collecting records of the family of Doty, and desiring all of that name to send him all the statistics possible, with a View to the history of the, family. Lie stated also that his mother was Cynthia, daughter of Edmond, who was a son of Captain Barnabas Doty, who was born in Rochester, Mass.) in 1740. Until that time my interest in such matters ha'd beer'i' but slight; but remembering that I had in my boyhood secured a staten'ient from my grandfather, which I still preserved, I sent a copy of it to Mr. Ketchum, saying to him that I would write to the other relatives for such additions as they could make to the record. This led to a considerable correspond ence with him, as I secured records from a number of relatives, and at my suggestion, but with his approval, I interviewed the various families of the name in New York City, Brooklyn, Newark and the vicinity. In the course of a few months Mr. Ketchum called upon me in New York, and stated that I was collecting the statistics faster than he could get them from any other source, and in View of his failing health and much needed rest from his literary labors, he suggested that I should continue the work, he transferring to me such papers as had already come into his possession.
