Step back in time to the bustling harbours and quiet lanes of seventeenth-century Massachusetts, where the story of Stephen and Ursula Streeter unfolds - a tale of resilience, kinship, and the forging of a new world. This seminal genealogical history book traces the Streeter family descendants from their early days in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1640s, through their settlement in Charlestown, and back across the Atlantic to the parish records of Goudherst, Kent, England. Each page offers a meticulous family genealogy reference, illuminating not only names and dates but the living fabric of colonial American lineage. Milford B. Streeter's masterwork is more than a colonial family tree compilation; it is a window into the everyday lives, aspirations, and challenges of New England's early settlers.

The book's careful documentation and clarity make it a touchstone for both casual readers and dedicated New England genealogists seeking to understand the families who shaped colonial society. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
