Packed into the pages of John Scales’ remarkable 1923 Colonial Era History of Dover is an immeasurable wealth of historical and genealogical data. The book was not originally indexed, but the 1989 Heritage Books edition has an every-name index to both the historical and genealogical sections, facilitating easy access to ancestral data.

Historical and Genealogical Data

Want to know about New Hampshire’s earliest settlers, Capt. Millet’s apple tree, passengers on the ship James, Quaker missionaries on Dover Neck, Whittier’s poem on “The Quaker Women”, double entry land grants, or condemnation for wearing long hair? It’s all here.

The book’s historical section contains numerous biographies of early settlers—including Hatevil Nutter—and the separate genealogical section covers 34 families in detail, giving for some their English roots and multi-generations.
