"Thomas Macy was born in Chilmark, Wiltshire Parish, England in 1608. His wife was Sara Hopcott, born there in 1612"--Page 9. He came from England in 1635 and settled in Salisbury, Mass. He and his family moved to Nantucket Island in 1659 and were the first white settlers on the island. Descendants lived in New York, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, Illinois, Colorado, California and elsewhere.
This second supplement to DALB, the Dictionary of American Library Biography (1978), adds 77 notable, deceased members of the library and archival communities to the 302 entries in the main volume and the 51 entries in the first supplement (1990). The second supplement includes primarily those figures who died between 1987 and the end of the year 2000, though some 13 entries provide sketches for notable persons whose death dates are somewhat earlier and who were not included in earlier works. Among the entries are a number of African Americans, and nearly one-half of the entries are women. Some 80 contributors from the United States and Canada provided sketches, many based on original source material. This supplement follows the practice and format of the earlier volumes, though it allows presidents of the American Library Association to compete for inclusion with other nominations.
Vols. 4-24 include Communications of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA-FIAB).
