A history of the early settlement of Newton, county of Middlesex, Massachusetts, from 1639 to 1800: With a genealogical register of its inhabitants, prior to 1800 [Hardcover]

Francis Jackson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1987

This work is based upon the parish register from 1757 to 1906 of the Reformed Church in New Hackensack, New York. The church was founded by a mixture of Dutch, Walloon, Palatine, and British individuals who found their way to New Hackensack in Dutchess County from New York City, Westchester, Long Island, and, obviously, New Jersey. The register itself includes 2,500 baptismal records followed by marriage records from 1765 to 1906, stating the names of the bride and groom, the date of the marriage, the name of the officiating minister, and sometimes such details as place of birth or residence.

This review is from: A history of the early settlement of Newton, county of Middlesex, Massachusetts: from 1639 to 1800 (Paperback)

Despite what the product/editorial review says about the book, it really is about Massachusetts settlements, NOT New York or New Jersey. If you're looking for a useful genealogical book to research Newton, County of Middlesex, this is a great start.
