Sophie Wilson's guardian insists she must marry the odious and bullying Lord Pinkerton unless she finds a suitable alternative immediately. Since she is a wallflower—through no fault of her own—that is unlikely. Her brother tries to help by persuading his friend Kit Thomas, impoverished second son of an earl, to pretend to be her fiancé until the bully loses interest. As Sophie and Kit spend time together, their feelings grow. But Pinkerton is not so easily thwarted and will stop at nothing to be rid of rivals. Besides, what will Sophie do when she learns Kit was offered money to court her?
"The data presented in Alabama Notes, Volumes 3 and 4 derive primarily from county court records, specifically wills and deeds, as well as selected marriage books and are supplemented by cemetery records, census records, and numerous other records of miscellaneous origin. A sequel to Mrs. England's Alabama Notes, Volumes 1 and 2 (see Item 1680), the work at hand refers to thousands of ancestors whose records were culled from the counties of Autauga, Bibb, Butler, Clarke, Coffee, Conecuh, Dallas, Greene, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Monroe, Perry, Shelby, and Wilcox"--Publisher website (August 2007).
This work, compiled over a period of thirty years from about 2,000 books and manuscripts, is a comprehensive listing of the 37,000 married couples who lived in New England between 1620 and 1700. Listed are the names of virtually every married couple living in New England before 1700, their marriage date or the birth year of a first child, the maiden names of 70% of the wives, the birth and death years of both partners, mention of earlier or later marriages, the residences of every couple and an index of names. The provision of the maiden names make it possible to identify the husbands of sisters, daughters, and many granddaughters of immigrants, and of immigrant sisters or kinswomen.
