The Small Family Legacy: A Journey of Ingenuity, Sea and Story
By John F. K. Small
Spanning nearly 400 years, The Small Family Legacy is a deeply personal exploration of one direct New England family line — not a comprehensive history, but a journey through ancestry, place, and self.
Beginning with Edward Small’s 17th-century arrival from Devon, England — alongside his young son, Francis — the story follows their landing along the coast of what is now Maine and continues through Truro, Massachusetts. John F. K. Small traces his paternal lineage from figures such as Francis Small, one of early Maine’s largest landowners, to Isaac Small, the first keeper of Highland Lighthouse, and through generations who lived, worked, and remained rooted in the same coastal landscape.
Through a blend of historical research, family records, creative storytelling, and reflective memoir, the author discovers that this search is not only about uncovering the past, but understanding how it lives on within him. Along the way, he reflects on identity — including his own neurodivergent experience — and the quiet threads of resilience, creativity, and endurance carried across generations.
This is not a broad account of all Small families, but an intimate narrative — one lineage, carefully followed — where history and personal discovery intertwine.
Ideal for readers drawn to genealogy, New England history, Cape Cod, lighthouses, American roots, and stories of place and belonging, this work offers a thoughtful meditation on how the past continues to live quietly within us.
This book blends archival research, personal reflection, family photographs, and select digitally rendered illustrations.
