The Sons & Daughters of the FIRST SETTLERS of Newbury
Welcome You
ABOUT US
Founded in 1927 by Anne Colman Moody, The Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury is a genealogical society intent on the preservation of the history of Old Newbury and the pioneer families that created our Yankee community.
The Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury is a lineal society. To be eligible to join the organization, you must establish that you are a direct descendant from a First Settler of Newbury prior to 1700.
The list of First Settlers can be found here.
As a volunteer organization, we are always looking for members who wish to share their energy, ideas, and research through:
* Articles for The Descend-O-Gram
* Our committee structure (participating directly, or through correspondence)
* Adding historic texts and articles to our library collection
* Suggesting speakers for the Annual Meeting (held on a Saturday in mid-August each year)

NEWS & EVENTS
Annual Meeting 2020
CANCELLED
It is with regret that we must announce the cancellation of our “in person” Annual Meeting at the Hope Church. Because of the Covid-19 virus, for the safety of our members and guests, it will instead be held on ZOOM.
ANNUAL YARD SALE
Because of the Covid-19 virus, and our concerns for everyone’s health, we have decided to postpone our Annual Yard Sale until next Spring. On the bright side, you now have the winter months to clean out all your unwanted (in good condition & clean, please) items to donate to the sale!
The future date will be posted once it is decided. Thank you for your understanding.
Open House
JACKMAN-WILLETT HOUSE
The date of the next open house will be announced as soon as it is available.
