Dunstable was originally granted by Massachusetts and was a part of
that province until 1741, when a revision of the province line
transferred the greater part of the original grant to the
jurisdiction of New Hampshire. The early families of this ancient
town at the time it was established were living in Nashua, and
parts of Hollis, Hudson, Litchfield and Merrimack in New Hampshire
and in Dunstable and Tyngsborough in Massachusetts. At the
beginning of King William's War (1689-1697), a majority of the
families of the settlement, in about 1695, fled from Dunstgable to
the older and better fortified towns. In some instances it was a
temporary absence, but in some cases the families did not return.
This fact accounts for the brevity of the record for several of the
families. This work includes references to approximately 2,000
individuals. The principal families addressed in this volume
include: Acres, Beale, Blanchard, Cooke, Cromwell, Darbeyshire,
French, Galusha, Gould, Harwood, Hassell, Honey, Lovewell, Lund,
Marks, Parris, Perry, Read, Robbins, Searles, Smith, Swallow,
Taylor, Temple, Tyng, Usher, Waldo, Warner, Weld, and Whiting.
