Children's Inheritance Portions
A prime consideration for every head of household in colonial New England was to provide for the economic security
of his children. Depending on the circumstances within each
family, this process might be accomplished in one step during
the life of the head of household, or it might take place
in several steps for each child (sometimes completed during
the lifetime of the head of household and sometimes not), or
the entire process might await the death of the head of
household.

Editor's Effusions
Although the basic structure of a Great Migration sketch has remained unchanged over the twenty years of the project, a
number of adjustments have been made. For some time
now, we have been including more material in the EDUCATION
section, such as references to books in probate inventories.
We have also been adding to the OFFICEHOLDING
section references to arms and ammunition, also from probate
inventories, on the grounds that these references reflect
the militia activities of the deceased.

Recent Literature
Myrtle Stevens Hyde, “Revised Ancestry for William Moulton
of Hampton, New Hampshire, Including Some Revisions
of the Early Ancestry of His New England Cousins,”
The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 163
(2009):165-73. In this first installment of a multipart article,
the author first presents a full transcript of the English copy
of a power of attorney made by WILLIAM MOULTON
{1637, Salem}, which states explicitly that William was the
son of Benjamin Moulton. She then proceeds to compile a
genealogical summary of four generations of William Moulton’s
agnate ancestry, and in the process corrects earlier
misreadings of English wills.
