This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1881. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Thanks arc tendered to the many who have aided by prompt responses in furnishing the necessary items. In cases of intermarriage between resident families, the dates of marriage and death, or present residence if living elsewhere, are generally given in connection with the husband's name only. Towns whose location is not indicated, are understood to be in Massachusetts. To collect the following dates concerning so many individuals--here are nearly 7000 names with one, two, or three dates each--involves many perplexities. Frequent disagreement between family, monumental, and town records renders absolute accuracy impossible; nor is any claim laid to entire freedom from error in transcribing, notwithstanding the exertion of great care. EXPLANATION. Members of the same generation follow the same perpendicular line. The figures used, designate the number of the generation from the first name in the family; for instance, in the family of Issachar Adams, the figure 3 against the name of Henry H., indicates that he is in the third generation from ISSACHAR, who stands first in the family; the figure 2 against the name of Homer M. (father of Henry H.), indicates that he is in the second generation from ISSACHAR; the figure 1 against the name of John (grandfather of Henry H.), shows him to be the son of Issachar. Abbreviations; b., born; m., married; d., died; a. aged; c. f., came from; rem., removed; res., resides, or resided. The * is used to designate a Revolutionary soldier; a t to designate a Revolutionary pensioner. GENEALOGY. ADAMS. El1jah Adams* C. f. Medway, 1774; m. Lizzie Morse of Holliston; d.
