Summary "The New England Historical & Genealogical Register, Vol. 1, No. 2, April 1847" is a quarterly publication focused on historical and genealogical research from New England, likely written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a range of articles, including biographical sketches, letters, and discussions of notable figures and events pertinent to New England's history. The primary topic centers around genealogical records and the early settlers of New England, as well as the cultural and religious dynamics that shaped the region. The opening of this volume includes a detailed memoir of Hon. Samuel Sewall, who served as Chief Justice of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. It outlines his lineage, education, and prominent roles within the colonial government, particularly during the Salem witch trials, highlighting his eventual regret over his involvement. Additionally, it discusses Sewall's devout Christian faith and contributions to religious discourse, as well as his efforts to advocate for the rights of marginalized groups, such as enslaved Africans and Native Americans. This rich historical commentary sets the tone for the rest of the publication, which aims to preserve the heritage and narratives surrounding the early inhabitants of New England.
