Excerpt from Early Records of Londonderry, Windham, and Derry, N. H., 1719-1762: A Complete and Exact Transcript of the Records of the Clerks Relating to the Political Proceedings as Recorded in Vol. I, Complete, and Vol. II, Pages 1 to 375, Old Town Books In preparing the index it has been impossible when of the same name to discriminate between father and son. This is noticeably the situation with J ohn Wallace. Usually, where no distinction has been given in the Records, the credit has been placed to that of the name which would indi cate the senior member of the family. We have adopted the modern form of spelling the names in the index, with refer ence in some cases to the spelling as given in the Records.

Irish Immigrants in the Land of Canaan is a monumental and pathbreaking study of early Irish Protestant and Catholic migration to America. Through exhaustive research and sensitive analyses of the letters, memoirs, and other writings, the authors describe the variety and vitality of early Irish immigrant experiences, ranging from those of frontier farmers and seaport workers to revolutionaries and loyalists. Largely through the migrants own words, it brings to life the networks, work, and experiences of these immigrants who shaped the formative stages of American society and its Irish communities. The authors explore why Irishmen and women left home and how they adapted to colonial and revolutionary America, in the process creating modern Irish and Irish-American identities on the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Irish Immigrants in the Land of Canaan was the winner of the James S. Donnelly, Sr., Prize for Books on History and Social Sciences, American Council on Irish Studies.
