Novelist and museum consultant Fabend, a direct descendant of the original Haring settler, follows five generations of the family of New York and New Jersey in an attempt to uncover the economic, political, and religious underpinnings of the middle colonies. Researching court, tax, and probate records, she finds that the Harings in America reflected their Dutch origins: they were entrepreneurial farmers who lived in nuclear families and acted in their economic and political self interest. She also verifies the conclusions of family historians of the last 20 years who have documented colonial demographic patterns which bear resemblance to current trends. Though overstating the Harings's representative stature and relying upon such post-agrarian concepts as class to analyze colonial America, the author provides a much-needed investigation of life in the middle colonies. This book will appeal to colonial, family, and social historians.
