Synopsis

This book presents an exhaustive account of marriages that occurred in New Haven, Connecticut, between the years 1639-1800. These entries were recorded meticulously by early pastors and were later collected from baptismal and marriage records, as well as other archival sources. The author's efforts to salvage these precious texts have preserved valuable genealogical information, shedding light on the lives and familial ties of New Haven s early settlers. Providing a glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of New Haven during its formative years, this book reveals patterns of migration and settlement, as well as the influence of religious beliefs and practices on family life. Within the context of 17th and 18th-century New England, it examines topics such as marriage customs, courtship practices, and the evolving roles of women and men within the family structure. Beyond its genealogical significance, this book offers a rich resource for historians, sociologists, and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of New England. By piecing together these fragments of family history, this book not only immortalizes the names and connections of New Haven s early residents but also provides an invaluable glimpse into the human experience of a bygone era.
