Resources for the Rowley Researcher

EARLY SETTLERS of ROWLEY, MA
A Genealogical Record of families settled before 1700.
By G.B. Blodgette; revised and ed. by Amos E. Jewett.
This important study of all early families who settled in Rowley was
compiled by Blodgette through 1672, then revised and expanded by Jewett to
include all families resident in Rowley by 1700, plus a few families of
adjacent Ipswich Village.
Blodgette and Jewett's work has justly earned a reputation for
painstakingly accurate research.
Classic: an indispensable work on this early and important Essex County
town. Probably the most often used book in our personal library.

IPSWICH VILLAGE and the OLD ROWLEY ROAD
By Thomas Franklin Waters

Ipswich Village though a part of Ipswich, MA was, because of its connection
geographically and socially, connected as much to Rowley as it was to its
parent town. Ipswich Town Clerks made very incomplete entries of Vital
Records which have, fortunately, been preserved in Rowley church records.
Waters in this 1912 publication of the Ipswich Historical Society attempts
to correct this deficiency in some degree, and to give living personal
interest to ancient families, many of whom are considered to be Rowley
families. Long out of print, this facsimile reprint includes a map of
landowners of "the village" and contains a wealth of genealogical data in
its family profiles and property transfers.
Families mentioned: Bradstreet, Denison, Jewett, Mussey, Shatswell, Wilson
Brown, Dudley, Kimball, Norton, Short, Chapman, Dutch, Lord, Paine, Symonds
Cross, Emerson, Lovell, Perkins, Tuttle, Day, Gage, Manning, Scott, West.
