Peirce's Colonial Lists

This work contains classified lists of colonial, county, and town officers, both civil and military, and of colonial clergymen, physicians and lawyers, covering the period 1621-1700 for the Plymouth and Rhode Island Colonies. Divided into three classifications--civil, military, and professional--the data is arranged in tabular form under place, office, and date of service, with such additional information as residence, dates of election or appointment, and dates of commission of officers in the local militia. Also included in the work are excerpts from militia laws and laws of the Colonies. The surname index contains upwards of 1,000 names, most with multiple references.
