Some Notable Families of America (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Some Notable Families of America
Ir gives me hearty pleasure to state that I have per sonally and carefully examined the following pages, verifying, as far as has been in my power, the genealogi cal and historical data contained therein. I sincerely commend the work for its general accuracy and interest. As the preface indicates, this is not a genealogy, but a genealogical summary of the ancestry of the author's immediate family, prepared for the purpose of stimu lating coming generations to a proper pride of ancestry, and aiding the noblesse oblige which should ever be found among those of honest and manly Christian de scent. Such ventures are in a peculiar sense a keeping in mind the fifth commandment, Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. No effort at exhaustive historical or genealogical research has been intended in these pages, since so much concerning each line of ancestry has been already published. But the grouping together of ancestral lines, ending in one fam ily of children, and printed for private use, is itself a. Commendable plan, which it is hoped others may follow with success.
