iioL^^^il j^Xoorc, lale Seccretary ofthe New York Genealogical and Biographi-
cal Society, and upon a manuscript hi.lory by Frederick Schol/er,
ol Philadelphia. Datts ha\c bct-n verified, as fur as possible, by reference to the
original documents, and many additions, from sources at that time inaccessible to
the above writers, have been made. New lines have been introduced, and special
attention has been paid to descent on the female side. In the latter case, where
lines aie not brought down to date, suihcient data are noted to identify the persons
named. Cheerful aid has been given by so many persons that it would be invidious
to specify particular ones, and impossible to name them all here. Public records,
as well as private, have been examined, and their contents utilized. In a work of
this character errors are inevitable, but frequent verifications by different persons,
it is hoped, have presented serious discrepancies. The compiler will be glad lu
receive corrections and addition^.
