Duxbury was founded by migrants from the town of Plymouth,      Massachusetts in 1632. Duxbury's importance in Mayflower genealogy is      irrefutable, and it is underscored by the simple fact that the town was      named for Duxbury Hall, the seat of Miles Standish's ancestral home in      England. Justin Winsor's venerable history of Duxbury commences with      chapters on the settlement and incorporation of the town; boundaries, roads      and landmarks; first settlers; schools and education; and early contact with      the Indian population. Subsequent chapters are concerned with lists of      17th-century town officers, Duxbury in the colonial wars, the American      Revolution and the War of 1812, and the history of the Congregational Church      in Duxbury. Of greatest interest to researchers, over one-third of the      volume is devoted to genealogical notes and sketches of more than 200 early      families of Duxbury, including the ones that follow: Alden, Arnold, Baker,      Barker, Bartlett, Bisbee, Bishop, Bonney, Bosworth, Bourn, Bradford,      Brewster, Briggs, Brown, Bryant, Bumpus, Burgess, Carver, Chandler, Chapman,      Church, Clark, Cole, Cullifer, Curtis, Cushing, Cushman, Dawes, Delano,      Dingley, Drew, Dwelley, Eaton, Ford, Frazar, Freeman, Glass, Hall, Harlow,      Hathaway, Holmes, House, Howard, Howland, Hudson, Hunt, Kein, Lambert,      Lazell, Leonard, Loring, Louden, Mitchell, Mullins, Nash, Oldham, Pabodie,      Partridge, Peirce, Peterson, Phillips, Prince, Prior, Ripley, Rogers,      Sampson, Seabury, Shaw, Simmons, Soule, Southworth, Sprague, Standish,      Starr, Sylvester, Thomas, Wadsworth, Weston, Winsor, and Wormall.
