Excerpt from John Grow of Ipswich: John Groo (Grow) Of OxfordSo the record-begins with John Grow, weaver, who married the daughter of an immigrant. One of his sons was a cordwainer, and another a maltster, but nearly all were small farmers who reclaimed their fields from the wilderness, and had for their first habitations the thatched and mud chinked log cabin. The Grows, like most of the early settlers, were religious Congregationalists at first and later very generally Baptists. There were many preachers among them, and some of these with better opportunities for education would have become widely known, but their lives centered about the simple village green where the meeting house stood. And the range of their activities were very limited, but they helped to build the nation in which we now, take so much pride.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
