The method pursued, is to name the first of the family—where he came from—whom he married—what office he held, if any—when he died, and at what age—

   Then to name his sons and daughters, mention whom the daughters married, and proceed in the male line, down to the present generation.

   Many of the families had other children, but they died young, and are not known.

   If families have removed, I mention the places to which they have removed, and leave them.

   Note.—The letter m. stands for married; ss. for sons; ds. for daughters.
