In 1696 the British government required that all loyal citizens affirm their allegiance to King William III, who had displaced King James II in 1688. The surviving oath rolls in the American colonies include lists of names from New York, Virginia, Barbados, Bermuda, and many of the smaller islands in the Caribbean for which few records now survive. This book is an invaluable record for the historian and genealogist alike.Gandy, William is the author of 'The Association Oath Rolls of the British Plantations [New York, Virginia, Etc.] A.D. 1696: Being a Contribution to Political History (New York, Virginia, ... : Being a Contribution to Political History)', published 2009 under ISBN 9780809511006 and ISBN 0809511002.
