Genealogy of Byram--Irons families, 1610-1982

G.I. Frazer. Very Good. 1982 signed and inscribed first edition, G.I. Frazer (Enid, Oklahoma), 8 1/2 x 11 inches tall spiral bound (black plastic comb) in gold printed covers, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, index, x, 147 pp. Very slight rubbing and edgewear to covers. Nicely inscribed and signed by the author to a cousin on the blank verso of the front cover. The printing on a few pages is a bit light, and darker prints of two leaves (four pages) with photographs are laid in. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce genealogy and family history. OCLC (No. 9971818) locates only a half dozen copies at institutions worldwide. ~SP22~ [1.5P] Looks at the ancestry of, and traces the known descendants of, Nicholas Byram (1610-1688), who was born in Ulster, Ireland and, after being kidnapped by sailors at the age of 16, eventually sailed to America and settled at Weymouth, Massachusetts.
