Dear Colleagues,

 

Does anyone have a copy of  Descendants of George Byam (?-1680) by
Edwin Colby Byam. I am trying to track down information on the New
England Friction Match Company and it is mentioned in that book on page
75.  Would you be able to take a look and see if it gives any dates for
the company, or any information? Or perhaps you could send a scan or
photocopy of the page? Any help you can give would be greatly
appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Jeff

"I have sometimes imagined a library, i.e. a collection of the works of
true poets, philosophers, naturalists, etc., deposited not in a brick
and marble edifice in a crowded and dusty city. . . but rather far away
in the depths of the primitive forest. . ."
 -- Henry D. Thoreau, 3 February 1852
