Winthrop Ancestry Photo Exchange Links England and New England
Frost Library in Winthrop plans to display photographs tracing the town’s English roots and Deane Winthrop’s family line. A 17th century Groton parish church and the Winthrop manor are noted along with John Winthrop, governor of Massachusetts, who left Groton for America in 1630. A letter from Graton’s rector explains delayed photos due to a remote parish, and the collection will join other historical items in the Frost Library.
