Discover a detailed, centuries-spanning family chronicle that traces lineage, marriages, and estates in early New England.
This non-fiction work gathers biographical notes, birth and death dates, marriages, and notable events from the Prime family of Rowley and related Platts and Jewett lines. It offers a window into early colony life, inheritance records, and how families shaped a local history that echoes into later generations.
Structured as a careful compilation of family records, wills, inventories, and court notes, the book presents a sequence of individuals across generations. It highlights personal milestones, property transactions, guardianships, and the movement of families between Rowley, Sutton, and New York, among other places. The material is presented as a reference, with emphasis on names, dates, and connections rather than narrative drama.
