Description

Katherine Dimancescu's debut narrative offers readers a window into the lives of some of her well-known and also little known maternal ancestors who helped shape the New England communities they called home. Her narrative shares unexpected discoveries that arose when researching her colonial American roots. These discoveries include Mayflower passengers John Alden and his future wife Priscilla Mullins, ancestral homesteads from the 1600s, veterans of The Pequot War (1637) and King Philip's War (1675-76), slave-owning ancestors in New England, 17th and 18th century diary keepers whose original diaries are in archives, persecuted Quakers including Mrs. Mary (Barrett) Dyer (wife and mother of six children) who was hanged on Boston Common, signers of The Flushing Remonstrance, an ancestor accused of manslaughter, and another forced to wear a scarlet "D". Ms. Dimancescu hopes to inspire readers to enjoy often overlooked chapters of New England's rich colonial history and researching their own family roots.
