TAG 90.2 is at press

The new issue of TAG, vol. 90, no. 2, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in two weeks.

Our lead article, by David M. Morehouse, chronicles a free-spirited Quaker family in the Delaware valley, combining a well written genealogical account with several lessons on the use and limits of Quaker meeting minutes and vital records. Two articles use different strategies for disambiguation—distinguishing people who share the same name—in pursuit of early colonists in New England and Georgia. This issue also contains the third supplement to appear in TAG of Hank Jones’s magisterial prosopography of the origins of New York’s “Palatine” immigrants of 1710—not all of whom came from the German Palatinate. Also in this issue: a new Mayflower line into Maine, a Connecticut colonist killed in a Caribbean brawl, a reassessed arrival date of one of New England’s earliest settlers, and one of the many synonyms for slacker in the 1880 federal census.
