Third Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 by Melinda Lutz SanbornClarence Almon Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 is the most complete index of its kind, naming almost 99% of the married couples in New England before 1700.

Clarence Almon Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700 is the most complete index of its kind, naming almost 99% of the married couples in New England before 1700. Over a period of forty years Torrey extracted every available reference to marriages of early New England settlers from thousands of books and journals in the library of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, creating the most frequently consulted finding-aid in all of early New England genealogy. When he died in 1962, his manuscript had achieved almost legendary fame.

In 1991 Melinde Sanborn produced the first supplement to Torrey, a work that was developed largely from additions, corrections, and deletions that had appeared in the major genealogical journals in the nearly thirty years since Torrey's death. Four years later, in 1995, she produced the second supplement, which also drew extensively on periodical literature (from 1991 to 1995), but had a greater emphasis on the unpublished work of some of the leading New England genealogists and also derived from studies of English marriages of colonial immigrants and from studies of immigrant clusters, most notably the Great Migration project and the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations project.

Now comes the Third Supplement to Torrey's New England Marriages Prior to 1700, and it is primarily an index to the major genealogical periodicals published since Torrey's death. Covering the period from 1962 through the spring of 2003, this new third supplement incorporates all of the information from the first and second supplements and contains 80% new material! In all, approximately 6,000 entries referring to as many as 20,000 individuals are included. An impressive number of new entries were provided by leading researchers from their own unpublished work, while additional entries were developed from various website postings.

Along with the original New England Marriages Prior to 1700, this third supplement can be used in a variety of ways to develop clues for 18th- and 19th-century research, as well as identifying or eliminating 17th-century ancestors. Although many of the entries here are drawn from journal articles concerned only with the identification of a woman's maiden name, a good percentage come from multi-generational studies, often running five or six generations, well into the 18th century. Thus, this work indexes not only the 17th-century couple, but it also leads the researcher to later generations.

Indispensable for New England research!

Incredibly Comfortable and Supportive — My New Favorite Pillow!
I wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do, but the DIORIS large sleeping pillow really exceeded my expectations. From the first night, I noticed a difference in the way my neck and shoulders felt in the morning—less tension, better alignment, and overall more restful sleep. The fill is just the right balance between plush and supportive. It doesn’t flatten out during the night, which is a problem I’ve had with other pillows, especially those that come overstuffed or too soft. This one holds its shape well but still has that cozy, cloud-like feel when you lay your head on it. I’m a side and back sleeper, and this pillow works beautifully in both positions. It’s also large enough that I don’t feel like I’m falling off it during the night, but not so big that it takes over the whole bed. One suggestion: if you’re picky about loft, you might want to give it a gentle fluff or adjust the fill before your first night. But honestly, I didn’t need to do much—it was pretty much perfect out of the bag. Highly recommended if you're looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and generously sized pillow that supports a great night’s sleep!

Hotel like pillow
These pillows were a pleasant surprise. I bought the set for our guest room but ended up keeping them for our own bed after trying them out. They feel incredibly soft yet still provide enough support to keep my neck from feeling stiff in the morning. I sleep on my side and back, and these work great for both positions. My spouse, who usually runs hot at night, said they stayed cool and breathable. The material feels high quality, and I love that they’re machine washable without losing their shape. They fluffed right back up after drying. If you're looking for that plush hotel-pillow feel with everyday practicality, this set really delivers.

Very soft, not firm at all
This pillow is very floppy and not firm at all. It is quite large and I was surprised at the size. My dog has taken a liking to it and decided it's now her new dig bed, which is fine by me, because it's really too soft for my liking. If you like soft pillows then this is for you. If you require something with a bit more support then you won't enjoy this pillow.

Soft and supportive
I recently purchased the this pillow and I am happy with the quality and comfort it provides. Pillow is soft, plush, and supportive without being too firm. The down alternative fill offers the balance of fluffiness and structure, making them ideal for all sleep positions. Whether I’m sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, these pillows adapt beautifully and keep me comfortable throughout the night. They’re also breathable and skin-friendly, which is a huge plus for anyone with sensitive skin. After using them, I wake up feeling well-rested and free of neck stiffness. I like it.

Pillow
These DIORIS pillows are a game-changer! I’ve tried many pillows over the years, but these are by far the best. The down alternative fill is incredibly soft yet supportive, providing just the right amount of fluffiness without feeling too firm or too soft. I sleep on my side, and these pillows cradle my head and neck perfectly, giving me the support I need for a restful night. They’re breathable and skin-friendly, which is great since I tend to get hot while I sleep. The queen size is just right for my bed, and the pillows maintain their shape night after night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive, and durable pillow.
