So much history is kept in archaic books such as this one:
Early inhabitants of Ipswich, Mass. 1633-1700, by Hammatt, Abraham, 1780?-1854
This is a valuable resource for finding information about early Ipswich, though finding the complete work online has proven to be a challenge. Names listed below are found in this volume (No. 1-3), letters A through H. For other names, you might find them in the book available on Amazon.
