Relevance for genealogy

As well as source document for American history, this is also a source for the English and American nonconformist community in the 1780's. The author raised £300 from subscriptions from family and friends to help pay for the publication and over 400 individuals are listed in the beginning of volume 1. He was a nonconformist minister who had worked in Norwich and London before he travelled to America, and his supporters were from those communities.
