Description

This four-volume collection of primarily newly transcribed manuscript material brings together sources from both sides of the Atlantic and from a wide variety of regional archives.

It is the first collection of its kind, allowing comparisons between the development of the family in England and America during a time of significant change.

Volume 1: Many Families The eighteenth-century family group was a varied one.

Documents attest to religious and racial diversity, as well as the hardships endured by the poor and working classes, such as widows, orphans and those born outside wedlock.

Fictive families are also examined alongside more traditional family units bound by blood or law.
