Mass A Biblio of Its History, #2762 "The Great Pow Wow, the Story of the
Nashaway Valley in King Philip's War" Boston: Houghton-Mifflin, 1934 Pp x,288.
JWS A marvelous woman, she wrote history books and lived in Harvard, MA and
founded the Shaker Fruitlands Museum. She was a 4-foot, 11-inch dynamo. Her
father was named after the mythical Knyvet family which H.G. Somersby confused the Sears with in his research. David Sears [5768] retained Somersby, the leading genealogist of Great Britain in the 1830s and turned the information over to Rev Edmund H Sears[7108] who did the original genealogy based on the errors.
Somersby's own copy of the Sears genealogy in the British Museum has a note on the front page "not to be shown to the public" and there is a letter from Sir Bernard Burke expressing his concern and deciding he would not circulate the book. Fifty years later my folks commissioned Dr Samuel May to update the
genealogy, and he discovered these mistakes - and made a lot of his own."(
e.g. He shows Clara's middle name as Payson.)
