The Genealogy and History of the Guild, Guile, and Gile Family (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Genealogy and History of the Guild, Guile, and Gile Family

During the progress of his researches there was awakened in him a desire for more extended information, and he was encouraged to continue his efforts until he had accumulated sufficient material to warrant him in publishing a "Genealogy of the Burleigh Family," and the book was issued in 1880. From the experience thus obtained, he had acquired such a fondness for genealogical research that it became to him an almost irresistible fascination, and in consequence he was impelled to continue the pursuit in the collateral branches of his family, thus procuring considerable material relating to other family names, much of which has been contributed to other genealogists.

He was especially prompted to do this, from the recollections of his dear old grandmother, and the many good things received from her in his childhood; her constant solicitude for the happiness of others which led her to minister to their necessities, and her abiding faith in the Divine Master; all tending to make the desire greater to honor her memory, and to ascertain from whom her noble qualities were inherited, and also to perpetuate the same in some permanent form by publishing the history of her ancestry. In searching the records at Haverhill, the author found the name of Guild applied to Samuel and his sons, in several instances, still it never occurred to him that the names might be identical, until he mentioned his purpose to prepare a genealogy of the Guile family to a friend, who understood the name t...
