[6], 351, [1] pages. Index. Ex-library with some of the usual markings. Indexed by Rosanne Conway. Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan, (probably 27 February 1797-29 May 1880) was a doctor and journalist. He immigrated to Lower Canada in 1823 where he became involved in the political reform movement of the Parti patriote. He was registered to practice medicine in Lower Canada on 16 October 1827. On the death of Daniel Tracey, owner of the Montreal Vindicator newspaper, in 1832 O'Callaghan became the editor and brought in Thomas Storrow Brown to work on the paper. In 1834, O'Callaghan was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada for Yamaska. In 1837, during the Lower Canada Rebellion, a mandate of arrest was issued against him, and he crossed the United States border with his friend, Louis-Joseph Papineau. Later, O'Callaghan became secretary-archivist of the State of New York, and died there in 1880. Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan's Documentary History of the State of New-York, published in four volumes between 1849 and 1851, is one of the key source-books for genealogical and historical research in New York State. Interspersed throughout its more than 4, 350 pages are copies of important genealogical records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, among which are census records, rate lists, lists of early settlers, and rolls of militia companies. This present volume is an extract of all the important genealogical records in the O'Callaghan work, brought together in just under 300 pages, contains a complete index of names, and overcomes, for individuals unfamiliar with Dutch or German nomenclature, the confusion caused by variant spellings of family names. The records are arranged in this work in the same sequence in which they appear in the Documentary History.
