- Notable events in the history of Dover, New Hampshire
Notable events in the history of Dover, New Hampshire chronicles the evolution of Dover from its initial colonial roots in 1623 through the conclusion of the American Civil War. The text serves as a connected and accessible archive of local milestones, beginning with the obscurity of the first settlement at Hilton’s Point and moving through the town’s early reliance on fishing, trading, and agriculture. Structurally, the source follows a chronological timeline that highlights shifting governance, including the town’s voluntary union with the Massachusetts colony and its eventual integration into the Province of New Hampshire. - The Combination of the People of Dover, New Hampshire, in 1640
In October 1640 a group of inhabitants living along the Piscataqua River entered into a compact titled the “Combination of the People of Dover to Establish a Form of Government.” At the time no formal civil authority had been established for the settlement by the Crown. The signatories therefore agreed to constitute a body politic and to govern themselves according to the laws of England and such additional orders as their freemen should enact. Although the original record survived on the town books as late as 1665, as noted by Hubbard, it had disappeared by the time Jeremy Belknap wrote his history of New Hampshire. A contemporaneous copy made in 1682 by Governor Edward Cranfield was later located in the Public Record Office in London and provides the text reproduced here. - Historical memoranda concerning persons & places in old Dover, N.H.

The early probate records of the Province of New Hampshire, from 1635 to 1771, have been published in nine volumes (vols. 31-39) of the set “New Hampshire State Papers” edited by Albert Stillman Batchellor, Henry Harrison Metcalf, and Otis G.

The list included here contains transcriptions of some of the early probate records for Hampton, New Hampshire. It is not a complete list of the available probate records. - History of Hampton New Hampshire
The original version of this monumental work was published in 2 volumes. Volume 1, here presented, contains the history of the town of Hampton, New Hampshire from its settlement in 1638 to the autumn of 1892. There is every indication that Joseph Dow had completed the first volume before his death in 1889, and was compiling the material needed for the second volume which his daughter finished for him. - Genealogy of Hampton New Hampshire
Volume 2 of the history of the town of Hampton, New Hampshire, features the genealogical and biographical details of the early families of Hampton, NH up to the autumn of 1892. This manuscript was researched by Joseph Dow up until his death in 1889. Unfortunately his death preceded the final compilation of the genealogies and his daughter, Lucy Ellen Dow, took on the task after his decease. For genealogists this is an important fact. Lucy admits in her preface that she had difficulty bringing the genealogies down to date (1892) for lack of full understanding of Josiah Page’s notes and for the lack of accurate town records. As she laments about the town records “but whole decades are passed over with scarcely an entry of birth or marriage.” Indeed they are.

The “Genealogies of Pembroke, New Hampshire” is derived from the town’s second historical volume, and documents the connections of early settler families through the nineteenth century. It emphasizes families of the first settlers and families who resided in Pembroke over a long period of time. Organized alphabetically by surname, the genealogies use a consistent numbering system for easy reference. Carter draws from diverse sources, including town records and personal accounts of Pembroke’s citizens, while acknowledging possible inaccuracies in both their memory and the collection of information. However, by preserving these family lineages, Carter enhances the town’s historical narrative, complementing the first volume’s historical content. Supplementing this volume of genealogies is a compilation of marriage records which occurred in Pembroke, New Hampshire, from 1739 through 1895. - Vital records of Stratham, New Hampshire, 1700-1867
