[Genealogies of four early Massachusetts families: Balch, Bridge, Browne, and May].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47832582

Handwritten genealogies treating the descendants of John and Margery Balch of Salem, 1626; John Bridge of Cambridge, 1631; Abraham and Lydia Brown of Watertown, 1636; and John May of Roxbury, 1628. Balch material includes correspondence from the 1840s, and a small notebook of data "copied verbatim from a memo prepared by Benj Balch of Salem." Bridge material includes correspondence from the 1840s. Brown material includes a printed chart, dating from the mid nineteenth century, showing several generations of descendants from Abraham and Lydia Brown. May family material is drawn, in part, from an earlier account of the family prepared by Col. Joseph May. Joseph May also compiled a genealogy of the Sewell family, since his wife, Dorothy, was the daughter of Chief Justice Samuel Sewell. This is transcribed. Joseph and Dorothy (Sewell) May were the grandparents of author Louisa May Alcott.
