The Ancestors of Dorys Beryl Harding follows the Ahnentafel format for tracing direct ancestors from one person in the present back through the generations. The source person is the author's grandmother, Dorys Beryl Harding (1906-1984), and the book traces 12 generations of her ancestors that stretch back to the Mayflower and other early arrivals in the New World. From women tried for witchcraft to a man tried for treason, from patriots of the Revolutionary War to founders of towns across New England, from a Governor of Plymouth Colony to generations of farmers, this family's history reflects the history of the nation
