About
Us
The Epsom History.com web site (formerly Epsom Early Settlers) has
been active since 1998, and is privately owned and maintained. It
serves as the town site for US GenWeb, NH GenWeb and Rootsweb networks.
In addition, the site is home to the Epsom Historical Association
and its Library and Museum.
Site Use
The research page contains the majority of articles and information
on the history of Epsom, and includes its own search box. The photo
archives has its own search box, as does our genealogy section.
Original scanned images of documents are available online in the
Museum section. Our links page includes some great additional areas
for research and other town of Epsom links.
Rand
Family
The
Rand family has been active with the Epsom Historical Association,
with both Carleton and son Thomas having served as Presidents and
held other offices. Starting in 1998 they started photographing
all the cemetery stones in Epsom cemeteries and prepared the Cemetery
book with updated inscriptions. Thomas started the website in 1998
and began collecting and transcribing census and town records, historical
articles from the Association, and scanning its photo collection.
More recently town reports and scans of original documents have
been added in addition to collections loaned to the Association
by town and other residents. In 1998 a genealogy database was started
based on the earliest town settlers, as it continues to grow, it
is now close to 40,000 individuals.
