Lloyd Vernon Briggs' collection of Massachusetts family records, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
Gift of Lloyd Vernon Briggs, approximately 1940.
Lloyd Vernon Briggs (1863-1941), American psychiatrist and Massachusetts genealogist. In addition to numerous works on psychiatry,
he was the author of The church and cemetery records of Hanover, Mass. (Boston, Mass., Wallace Spooner, 1895-1904), History
and genealogy of the Cabot family, 1475-1927 (Boston, C.E. Goodspeed & co., 1927), History and genealogy of the Briggs family,
1254-1937 (Boston, C. E. Goodspeed & co., 1938), and other works.
The Thomas Family collection consists of numerous pages of excerpts copied from the Massachusetts archives, muster and pay
rolls, town rolls, and bounty receipts. Birth, marriage, and death notices from church records are also included.
The families mentioned are: the Thomas family, and the Otis, Stetson (Stedson), Damon, Cushing, and Briggs families. They
were prominent in Plymouth County, New England during the 18th and 19th centuries.
These notes were possibly compiled for genealogical purposes. They have been sorted according to the family primarily treated.
However, it appears that all of the families were inter-related by marriage.
Note: With the exception of a few items, the dates in this collection indicate the date span of the material, not the date of creation.
