The island of Nantucket was settled in the 1640s by English Puritans who had grown discontented with the rule of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. This work consists of detailed genealogies of the majority of the First Purchasers of Nantucket (the original owners of the island, as they were called). It is excerpted from Alexander Starbuck's much longer "History of Nantucket County, Island, and Town," constituting the final 200 pages of that opus. The volume begins with biographical sketches of the First Purchasers.

Nantucket is an island 30 miles south of Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, which, together with the small islands of Tuckernuck and Muskeget, constitutes the Town of Nantucket, as well as Nantucket County. In 1641, Nantucket Island was deeded by the English to Thomas Mayhew, a merchant in Watertown, Massachusetts, and his son, Thomas. In 1659, Thomas Mayhew, reserving a small part to himself, sold most of his interest to a group of nine investors, consisting of Tristram Coffin, Peter Coffin, Thomas Macy, Christopher Hussey, Richard Swain, Thomas Barnard, Stephen Greenleaf, John Swain and William Pike. This work focuses on the biographies and genealogies of these founders and early settlers of Nantucket. Includes an Appendix and Index.

This highly regarded social history of Nantucket treats the purchase and settlement of the island, the early proprietors, and various events in Nantucket history, such as Nantucket's role in the Revolution. The balance of the work consists of histories of some thirty founding families. Genealogists should also consult the appendices for a list of Quakers who visited Nantucket between 1664 and 1847.

Excerpt from Early Settlers of Nantucket: Their Associates and Descendants Several histories and genealogical books of individual families have been prepared, and are a great help in a work like this. It is not necessary, however, to the islanders that complete genealogies be put at their disposal, since the town, court and Friends' records are unusually complete and well preserved, and may be consulted if one really wants to know. There are matters which, to the people of Nantucket, who have one hundred or more years of family record on the island, are of common interest. It must be remembered that very few of the early settlers came directly from the Old world to Nantucket. Settlements were located on the main land, and family alliances made which are now interesting to note; and in the few instances where the families are brought down to the present time, it is intended to show the cropping up wherever one may go of descendants of the quiet Quaker peo-ple whose beginnings were so humble, but whose in uence has been so widespread.

"Contrary to what public history and popular literature might have led us to believe, Nantucket is historically an island of rich cultural diversity. Here, author Frances Ruley Karttunen introduces us to the original Nantucketers -- the Wampanoags -- as well as to African slaves, Pacific Islanders, Irish refugees, Azoreans, and Cape Verdeans who over the years have found a home on Nantucket. Here, too, is a look at the island's connection to Jamaica, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia -- all sources of people who have contributed to the island's economy and added dimensions to Nantucket's culture" -- Back cover.

Despite the popular assumption that Native American cultures in New England declined after Europeans arrived, evidence suggests that Indian communities continued to thrive alongside English colonists. In this sequel to her Native People of Southern New England, 1500–1650, Kathleen J. Bragdon continues the Indian story through the end of the colonial era and documents the impact of colonization. As she traces changes in Native social, cultural, and economic life, Bragdon explores what it meant to be Indian in colonial southern New England. Contrary to common belief, Bragdon argues, Indianness meant continuing Native lives and lifestyles, however distinct from those of the newcomers. She recreates Indian cosmology, moral values, community organization, and material culture to demonstrate that networks based on kinship, marriage, traditional residence patterns, and work all fostered a culture resistant to assimilation. Bragdon draws on the writings and reported speech of Indians to counter what colonists claimed to be signs of assimilation. She shows that when Indians adopted English cultural forms—such as Christianity and writing—they did so on their own terms, using these alternative tools for expressing their own ideas about power and the spirit world. Despite warfare, disease epidemics, and colonists’ attempts at cultural suppression, distinctive Indian cultures persisted. Bragdon’s scholarship gives us new insight into both the history of the tribes of southern New England and the nature of cultural contact.
