The new issue of TAG, vol. 91, no. 3, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in 2-3 weeks.

This issue leads off with a memorial to our fourth Editor and Publisher, David L. Greene, who died in November 2020.

Dave would have liked this issue, which proceeds with a detailed discussion by Ian Watson of the Great Migration Study Project on the document known as the “Providence Civil Compact.”

Also in this issue are a new royal descent for sisters Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson and Katherine (Marbury) Scott and their cousin William Wentworth; more on the Caverley family of Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Barbados, and Dominica; the interestingly-named Sussex Uredge family, with colonial descendants, the Lincolnshire connections of a puritan minister, Rev. Thomas James, and an ingenious deduction of the first wife of Judah Wright in eighteenth-century Connecticut.

Thanks to all TAG subscribers and authors for their patience as we work back to regular quarterly publication this year.

TAG 91.2 is in the mail and should reach subscribers over the next couple of weeks. Look for your copy soon!

The new issue of TAG, vol. 91, no. 2, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in 2-3 weeks.

This lead article, by Robert Battle, teases a thread of transatlantic connections uniting Nova Scotia, the Caribbean, and both Northern and Southern colonies.

A focus on Connecticut continues with several pieces touching Connecticut families with links in Massachusetts or Long Island, and a review of a new book on Connecticut vital records.

Vital records are also the theme of an article on a Rhode Island – Maine man whose maternity is revealed only in the index to an original town vital record manuscript.

Following this long delay, TAG has retitled volume 91 to cover the calendar years 2019 and 2020. We expect the remaining two issues of this volume will appear in July and October of this year, and quarterly publication to resume with volume 92 for 2021. Thanks to all subscribers and contributors for your patience! Those who have already renewed for volume 92 will see this reflected on their mailing labels, and will not need to renew again at the end of this year.

Following recent editorial delays, the current volume of TAG (volume 91) is now double-dated to cover the calendar years 2019 and 2020. The forthcoming issue, TAG 91.2, bearing face date April/July/October 2019, is now expected in April 2020. Issues will follow in July and October to complete volume 91. TAG subscriptions are paid by volume, not by calendar year. See the listing of recent and forthcoming issues on the page for Contents > Current and Recent Issues.

Thanks to all subscribers for your patience!

Ordering back issues through the website has now resumed for all available issues. Fulfillment of back issues ordered in early July may be delayed by up to five weeks, until mid-August.

Many readers have asked about the availability of reprints of out-of-print back issues. We’ve investigated options for on-demand single-issue reprints and would like to have a system in place by next year, but cannot guarantee it. In the meantime we continue to refer readers to the digital access to TAG offered by NEHGS at its website americanancestors.org.

The new issue of TAG, vol. 91, no. 1, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers in two weeks.

Witchcraft is a theme in this issue, with articles touching on witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts (Rev. George Burroughs), and Windsor, Connecticut (Lydia Gilbert). Three other articles focus on Connecticut, dealing with the Blisses of Hartford (also involved in the Gilbert witchcraft episode), the Lockwoods of Greenwich, and the Jessups of Stamford and Long Island. Origin studies include those of settlers in Maryland (King) and New Hampshire (Tuck). Emphasis on creative and thorough corrections continues with a detailed analysis of an impossible parentage in New York (Dayton).

The new issue of TAG, vol. 90, no. 4, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers within three weeks.

This issue concludes in-depth articles on the origins of William Wentworth of New Hampshire and the Underwood family of the Northern Neck of Virginia. Also in this issue: a smorgasbord of “Additions and Corrections” including new or corrected English origins of New England colonists; a misattributed eighteenth-century bride; a man who came over to Plymouth Colony and died so soon that he has only named twice in documents; an unfortunate accident under an apple tree; and philosophical comments on how to finish a genealogy.

The first two issues of TAG volume 91 (2019) are well underway. Watch this space for schedule updates—and thanks to all subscribers and authors for your continued patience and support.

TAG 90.4 is still not yet at press but is nearing completion and will publish this month (March 2019). In addition to the conclusion of two long articles from the last issue, 90.4 features a range of additions and corrections, representing how much material is newly accessible for early colonial and (almost entirely English) mother countries. Significant additions include the deposition of William Wentworth of New Hampshire pictured here, located by subscriber and contributor Randy A. West.

The new issue of TAG, vol. 90, no. 3, is now at press and will mail to all subscribers just after Christmas.

Our lead article is an in-depth assessment of William Wentworth of New Hampshire, a colonist with a great deal of speculative writing in print, going back to 1868, about his ancestry, especially royal descents. Bookending this at the end of the issue is an exposition of the origin of the Underwood family of the Northern Neck of Virginia. Also in this issue: reassessing a published signature of John Howland of the Mayflower; more  German origins of New York’s “Palatine” immigrants of 1710; other origins of colonists in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and South Carolina; and a very personal item bequeathed in a will.

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.
