Book synopsis

Excerpt from History of Marshfield, Vol. 2 In writing the sketches of the Old Historic families of Marshfield, I have taken especial pains to be as accurate as possible in my descriptions, but as there are comparatively few genealogies of Marshfield families published, I was obliged to go to the homes of these families and interview them, and find out what they knew about their ancestors. Some could not go back farther than the Revolution, which included their grandfathers, and with some their great-grandfathers. An account of these generations, some had written in their Bibles, and some recited from memory the account of their ancestry from generation to generation. Many whom I interviewed could trace their ancestry back to the old colonial days of the Pilgrims, and I was much surprised to find so many now living in Marshfield who had descended from the old colonial families living here in 1630, 1635, 1650. And what Wm. T. Davis. Esq., Plymouth's noted historian, said at our "Old Home Week's festivities last summer, that "Marshfield stood next to Plymouth in historic importance in relation to the colonists and Pilgrims of that early period, I found to be true. I have also included sketches from the soldiers of their experience and observations during the Civil War. Most of them have responded to my invitation. Some have not. I have given all a chance. There are a very few families in town that I have not been able to get any account of their ancestry. Either they have not kept any track of their ancestors, or take no interest in their family history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
