The two volume set, "The Descendants of William Shurtleff" was published in 1917 by Benjamin Shurtleff. It included eight generations starting with William Shurtleff born, possibly in 1624. It includes a massive appendix, a color plate of the Shiercliffe shield, pictures of many Shurtleff's, Whitely Hall, Joseph hunter's letters to and from Nicholas Shurtleff, the Shiercliffe genealogy from the 1600 court rolls and man, many letters and stories.
Our family is fortunate to own an original set, but in there are three sisters and only one set, I opted to purchase a copy, which is obtainable from HigginsonBooks.com for under two hundred dollars (for hard bound) and well worth the money spent. I have a copy that is not fragile, but it missing the colour plate and the first page of the Shiercliffe genealogy, easily obtained from relatives.
Because so many do not have access to the genealogy, and I found myself typing heritage line after heritage line to those who have written, and started this data base.
I have typed it as accurately as I able, starting with the first generation, and will be added to as time permits. As of March 4th, 2005, over sixty hours have been devoted to input and the fifth generation is just started. This data base contains the genealogy AS PUBLISHED, mistakes and additional information obtained outside the actual Shurtleff Genealogy are noted IN BLUE as they are discovered and shared. Many are of the mind that William was born earlier than 1624, and many issues remain a true mystery. The lengthy notes concerning the individuals, at this time, are not included.
I have added the Shurtleff Genealogy assigned numbers, and occasional notes refering to the Stevens genealogy (Anne's) where additional and updated information resides here. Lines that end for lack of information are in italics.
