Book Description
Everywhere we go in rural New England, the past surrounds us. In the woods and fields and along country roads, the traces are everywhere if we know what to look for and how to interpret what we see. A patch of neglected daylilies marks a long-abandoned homestead. A grown-over cellar hole with nearby stumps and remnants of stone wall and orchard shows us where a farm has been reclaimed by forest. And a piece of a stone dam and wooden sluice mark the site of a long-gone mill. Although slumping back into the landscape, these features speak to us if we can hear them and they can guide us to ancestral homesteads and famous sites. Lavishly illustrated with drawings and color photos.Provides the keys to interpret human artifacts in fields, woods, and roadsides and to reconstruct the past from surviving clues.Perfect to carry in a backpack or glove box.A unique and valuable resource for road trips, genealogical research, naturalists, and historians.

Book Description
Robert Fulton (d. 1797) emigrated during or before 1751 from Ireland to Boston, Massachusetts, and married twice (once in Ireland). He was a surveyor, and later moved to Londonderry, New Hampshire. He was also a Tory, as were two of his sons, and in 1796 they immigrated to Sophiasburg, Upper Canada (near what is Picton, Ontario). His oldest son and other children remained in New England; their descendants and relatives lived in New England, New York, Florida and elsewhere. Most descendants and relatives of those two sons who immigrated with their father to Sophiasburg lived in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and elsewhere. Some of these immigrated to Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

In addition to names of individuals and dates of births, marriages, and deaths, you will fi nd a taste of history of early America, accomplishments of certain individuals, and the roles played in shaping our educational , religion, and governmental systems. You will read about the thought process of passengers coming to America considering what to take and what to leave behind. You will read about the religion turmoil in England that caused the great migration to America.
