1623 - 1640

Below is a listing of the families residing in Scituate, Mass. during the period 1623 - 1640 and supporting data about them during this period of our history. More details are available at the Society's headquarters (address above). We are working on the somewhat lengthy process of making them available on this site.

The * (asterisk) beside any name indicates that this is one of the families that removed to Barnstable, Mass. with the Rev. John Lothrup in 1639.

References for these pages include: "Old Scituate" by the D.A.R., "History of Scituate" by Samuel Deane, "The Early Planters" by Harvey H. Pratt, Scituate Vital Records, and NEGH Register Records.

We have attempted to follow these families through their first three generations as the records in Scituate will allow, leaving the reader the joy of further research into family lines of their choice.
