I have written a book "The Ancestry of Daniel Tewksbury born 1782 and a Listing of
His Descendants." It includes the history of the Tewksbury generations that lived in
Boston, Newbury and Amesbury Mass. as well as Weare and Sandwich, NH. It is not just
genealogy book; it is also a history of their daily lives.
It chronicles the life of immigrant Henry Tewksbury born 1626 and that of his descendants,
John 1674, John Jr. 1714, Timothy 1743 and Daniel born 1782. It also includes the
Genealogy of the maternal lines of: Andrews, Brown, Copp, Colby, Eldridge, Fletcher,
Frame, Hoyt, Jackson, Jewell Lancaster, Lord, Lumpkin, Pinder, Rogers, Rowell and Stowers
etc...
The second section of the book gives the genealogy and some history of the descendants of
Daniel Tewksbury and Polly Brown, who together as a large family, removed to Summit Co.,
OH and then on to Indiana and Michigan.
For those interested in pre-ordering a book, please contact me by January 1st, 2004. The
book will be published in April and will not be available for purchase after Jan.1st. The
price of the book hasn't been set at this point. The price
depends on how many books are pre-ordered. The printer's set-up costs are expensive;
the number of copies ordered determines book price. If I can get 100 orders the price
should be about $50; more than 100 orders would reduce the amount below $50. It will be
in hardcover, a Library type book. It is a bit more costly to bind than a soft cover book,
but is much more durable and will last for many generations to come.
I am going to charge only what it costs me to get it published; there is no profit. If
very few books are ordered, the price could be as high as $75. If it is that high I will
return the deposit, if requested before Jan. 1st, 2004. I doubt that will be that high, I
have 61 orders at this time. A deposit of $25 is necessary to reserve a copy.
