In the preparation of this article it has been the compiler's aim to make the work as complete and correct as possible. Diligent search has been made for information, and considerable pains have been taken to give the people of Winneshiek county, a reliable account of the Indians who once inhabited this section of the country.

In such instances every effort has been made to procure accurate information.

Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850

New Town Additions - New Ashford, Saugus, Southborough, Shrewsbury, Stoneham

At the turn of the twentieth century NEHGS was instrumental in the effort to purchase books of vital statistics to the year 1850 for the 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By 1945 the vital records for over 200 of these municipalities had been published. Many of these volumes were added to NewEnglandAncestors.org in weekly installments during 2002. This marked the first time these records were made available online in their original context, including the original source citations.

The newest additions to this database are the towns of New Ashford, Saugus, Southborough, Shrewsbury, and Stoneham.


The Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati Profiles - Free Database!

The Society of the Cincinnati was established in 1783 by and for the officers in Continental Service. It was organized in 14 constituent societies, one of which is the Massachusetts Society. Eligibility was based on the officer's length and terms of service.

Membership in the Society of the Cincinnati was extended to the officers of the Continental Army - as well as Continental Navy and Marine officers - who had served until the end of the war, plus those who had been declared no longer needed by acts of Congress and those who had served honorably for three years during the war. Also eligible were the oldest male lineal descendants of officers who died in service. The officers of the French Navy and Army who served with the American Army were also entitled to join.

This database contains information on those Massachusetts officers eligible for membership. Absence from this list does not conclusively exclude eligibility.

The following member profiles were added to the database this week:

William Scott, Joseph Smith, Simeon Smith, Simeon Spring, Ebenezer Sproat, William Stacy, John Roosevelt Stafford, Joseph Stebbins Jr. , William Torrey (Adjutant), William Torrey (Ensign), Jacob Town, David Townsend, Dominick Trant, William Treadwell, Samuel Tubbs, Samuel Tucker, Thomas Turner, John Steel Tyler, Christopher Walcott, Joseph Wales, Timothy Walker, Nahum Ward, Adriel Warren, Joseph Warren, and William Warren.
