This particular volume concentrates on the westward migration of the Hxnsons and is a must for anyone interested in the Hanson/Henson/Hinson/Hynson surname, allied families, and friends! Some of the names in these records include connections which cannot be found elsewhere. The discovery of the Cumberland Gap opened the floodgates for westward migration and the Hxnsons went along with other early pioneers who poured into Kentucky and Tennessee in search of cheap land and a better life. Many of these records contain vital information as to where these pioneers came from and where they went as they moved further west. Connections can be made to states as far west as California and most states in between.

The town of Newington lies north and west of Portsmouth. Originally a part of Dover called Bloody Point, it was separated as a town, in its own right, in 1713. Being so close to the earliest settlements in New Hampshire, Newington is an important town for anyone doing research into 17th and 18th century New Hampshire.Compilation of this major work was prompted by the difficulty Mr. Hardon had in using copies of Rev. Joseph Adam's record of baptisms and marriages, 1716-1783. It occurred to him that he could save himself (and other researchers) time, and also clear up uncertainties, if he rearranged the records into family groups. Mr. Hardon then made numerous additions to Adam's work, from such sources as the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, various volumes of the New Hampshire State Papers and published genealogies.For some families the entries are brief - perhaps just a few marriages or baptisms. But for many the treatment is so lengthy that it amounts to a genealogy in itself. Entries are listed alphabetically by surname then by generation. Information includes birth, baptism and death dates, covenants, communions, marriages, parentage, occupations, affiliations with certain organizations, administration of estates, conveyed property, and other facts of interest to the genealogist. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
