Willard Memoir: Life and Times of Major Simon Willard, with Notices of Three Generations of His Descendants and Two Collateral Branches in the United States; Also Some Account of the Name and Family in Europe from an Early Day, by Joseph Willard (Boston, Little, Brown, and Company, 1913). xvi + 471 pages, with an index (16 pages) and six images. Digital Edition on CD-ROM © August 2001.
The
1913 edition, from which this Digital Edition was produced, is a word-for-word
reprint of the 1858 edition, to which the editors appended a one page transcript
of English wills, originally published by the Essex Institute in 1879.
As the title suggests, this volume focuses upon the life of Simon Willard, who immigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634, together with his brother George, his sister Margery, and his brother-in-law, Dolor Davis. It includes, however, discussions of: (1) the origins of the name and its presence in Sussex and Kent Counties (80 pages), (2) Willards in the U. S. not descended from Simon's father (17 pages), (3) the lives of George and Margery (13 pages), and the lives of his male descendants through the fourth generation (76 pages). For a fuller description of the contents, download the TOC.
The compiler, Joseph Willard, spoke
often of a "sequel" to the "Willard Memoir," but also indicated quite clearly
that he had no intention of publishing one. This task was accomplished
in 1915 by his successors, for which, see below.
The Digital Edition: Complete, with two text files (2.15 Mb) and six images (0.8 Mb).
Enhancements: Hyperlinks from the Table of Contents to text, and hyperlinks to images. As with all other Digital Editions, the index of the Willard Memoir is published in a separate file: it can be loaded concurrently with the text file for side-by-side comparison.
