(Clarence Almon Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 17...)
Clarence Almon Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 is the best index to the early colonial period in existence. This worthy supplement to Torrey incorporates corrections, new discoveries, significant new biographical detail, or deletions from the original canon which have surfaced since Torrey's death in 1962. Since these new discoveries and corrections tend to make their way in the periodical literature more frequently than anywhere else, this supplement is predominantly an index to the major genealogical journals published since 1960. Users of the original Torrey work will find this supplement absolutely indispensable, since their New England research cannot be considered complete without it.

(This is volume 1 of the Essex County, Massachusetts Proba...)
This is volume 1 of the Essex County, Massachusetts Probate Index, covering 1638-1840, beginning with surname Aaron and ending with Kerr. It gives the file number, first date, name, (late) residence, occupation and type of probate record. The author notes the records indexed here are perhaps the best illustrations of Essex County's rich heritage. This is where Hannah (Emerson) Dustin was abducted, where the notorious witch hysteria took hold, and where fabulous shipping fortunes were made and lost. Immigrant groups such as the Scotch-Irish and Huguenots were attracted to its busy seaports and workers from around the world came to its factories and mills.

While this second supplement draws extensively on periodical literature (from 1991 to January 1995), it has a much heavier emphasis on the unpublished work of some of the leading New England genealogists, studies of English marriages of colonial immigrants, and studies of immigrant clusters, most notably the Great Migration Study Project and the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations project. As was the case with the first supplement (see below), this work contains corrections, new discoveries, significant new biographical detail, or deletions from the original Torrey canon. It is a substantially bigger book than the first supplement (50 percent longer) and has an index of more than 1,500 entries. Absolutely indispensable for New England research!
