Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Conklings in America What is herein published has been obtained after years of research. Civil records do not give much assistance in detail to the genealogist. But few perform service for the State, and fewer still perform service of so conspicuous a nature as to attract the attention of the civil historian. Hence it is that the histories of families is frequently lost. In preparing this book much credit is due to church records of Salem, Massachusetts; East Hampton and Southold, Long Island, and to the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown, New Jersey. Most of the ancestors mentioned in the pages of this book were church people - principally Presbyterians - and fairly complete records were kept of births, marriages, and deaths. To Rev. Timothy Johnes, who was pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown from 1742 to 1794, much is due for the completeness of records. Credit is also due to the history of the "First Settlers of Passaic Valley, by John Littell, Esq., 1852." In compiling this volume I am under obligation to Rev. Andrew M. Sherman, of Morristown, New Jersey, author of "Historic Morristown," which gives the most complete and reliable story of the camp life of the American Army at Morristown during the tragic years of 1777, 1778 and 1779-´80 that has ever been written. He is the author of other histories of thrilling interest also, which place him in the forefront of American historians. Mr. Sherman is a lineal descendant of the Puritans that landed at Plymouth, and his family has contributed a good share of vitality to the purity, strength and manhood of American life. Through his paternal grandmother he descended from Edward Doty, John Alden, Priscilla Mullen and Captain Miles Standish, all of whom were among the emigrants from Old England in 1620.
