Behind the brick and timber of colonial America stood lineages, ambitions, and quiet dramas that shaped a new nation. Walls remember; families leave traces. In Some Colonial Mansions and Those Who Lived in Them, historian and genealogist Thomas Allen Glenn brings together architectural portrait, social chronicle, and painstaking record of descent in a single colonial American history book. Moving from house to household, he traces prominent colonial families through marriages, inheritances, and loyalties, creating historic house genealogies that illuminate how property, power, and kinship intertwined in eighteenth century America. Originally published as a historic mansions illustrated volume, it lingers over American colonial mansions as lived-in spaces, evoking the textures of daily life in the colonial era United States for readers, researchers, and colonial architecture enthusiasts alike. Both a vivid narrative of place and an indispensable work of American aristocracy genealogy, Glenn's study has long served as a genealogy reference for researchers, local historians, and descendants tracing genealogy and family histories across generations. At the same time, its richly human portraits and sense of domestic detail make it an inviting family history reference book for general readers drawn to the personalities behind the portraits. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
