Before the American Revolutionary War, hundreds of thousands of immigrants settled in New England, most coming from European nations, particularly the United Kingdom. Compiled from disparate sources, this database is a collection of records for over 2000 prominent men and women who arrived in America and settled in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine between 1700 and 1775. Information provided includes country of origin, when the person arrived in America, occupation, and a listing of relatives. With such a wealth of information, this can be an illuminating database for those seeking New England ancestors.
