The only excuse for the following records is the desire that they might be of use to others, and that the labor of gathering them be not wasted by no use being made of them. I collected them in the search I made for my ancestry. In a few years many who gave me information will have passed over. There are errors I have no doubt. In some cases family and town records did not agree. Many people live and die who do not know when and where they were born, cannot tell the names of their grand parents or the maiden name of their mother or grand mothers. Few families think it of sufficient importance to keep a correct record made at the time events tran Spire, but trust to memory.
