Darkness Falls on the Land of Light

This sweeping history of popular religion in eighteenth-century New England examines the experiences of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Drawing on an unprecedented quantity of letters, diaries, and testimonies, Douglas Winiarski recovers the pervasive and vigorous lay piety of the early eighteenth century. George Whitefield's preaching tour of 1740 called into question the fundamental assumptions of this thriving religious culture. Incited by Whitefield and fascinated by miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit--visions, bodily fits, and sudden conversions--countless New Englanders broke ranks with family, neighbors, and ministers who dismissed their religious experiences as d...

Peoples of a Spacious Land

In this book about families--those of the various native peoples of southern New England and those of the English settlers and their descendants--Gloria Main compares the ways in which the two cultures went about solving common human problems. Using original sources--diaries, inventories, wills, court records--as well as the findings of demographers, ethnologists, and cultural anthropologists, she compares the family life of the English colonists with the lives of comparable groups remaining in England and of native Americans. She looks at social organization, patterns of work, gender relations, sexual practices, childbearing and childrearing, demographic changes, and ways of dealing with si...

A history of the families related to Mark Wilson Stuhlfaut, the son of Mary Ann Lorenzen and Willard Jacob Carl Stuhlfaut. Mark married Patricia Ball in 1993 and had three sons, Joshua West, Adam West and Nicholas West Stuhlfaut. The Stuhlfaut family came from Mussbach, Pfalz, Germany. Jacob Stuhlfauth (1855-1918) immigrated to Chicago, Illinois ca. 1878. Other paternal and maternal ancestors also came from England, France, Germany, Ireland, Prussia (Poland), Scotland, Switzerland and Wales. Comprehensive pedigree charts and family stories show all related family lines, some dating back to the 1400-1500's. Some were Mayflower immigrants, Huguenot refugees, and others who settled in Barbados, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont in the 1600-1700's. During the 1800's, some emigrated to Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in California, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Certain family lines are linked to President William Howard Taft, President George Bush, and H.R.H. Diana, Princess of Wales.

Our Colonial grandmothers were much brighter and cheerier than the myth of dour, stiff, black-and-white women who have been so eternalized by Pilgrim-era paintings. Certainly do not "color" Deborah Bachiler Wing as wan and morose. Like most foremothers, Deborah was resolved and resolute, determined to create a home out of a cabin in the midst of a primeval forest. Deborah braved crossing the Atlantic as a widow with four young sons and her father, the Reverend Stephen Bachiler, an irascible fellow who attracted misfortune as though he were a magnet. While their crusade to find religious freedom was thwarted in New England as it had been in England, their experiences helped form the persevering character of America.
