The National Society of New England Women is a lineage society whose members are women with an ancestor born in New England before 1789 or in the Nassau or Suffolk counties of Long Island before 1700.[1]
The society was founded by Mrs. William Gerry Slade in 1895.[1][2] It met at the Waldorf Astoria New York and established branches elsewhere which were organised as colonies.[3] For example, a colony was established in Madison, Wisconsin in 1930. The organization had at the time 55 colonies with a total membership of over three thousand.[2]
The colonies engage in educational works with a patriotic theme such as sponsoring essay contests, pageants, scholarships and support of libraries.[2]
