Excerpt from Genealogy of the Barrett Family In the prosecution of this purpose, be spent no little time examining the records of Middlesex and other counties in Massachusetts, the town records of several towns in those counties. And such town histories as were then to be found in the excellent and valuable libraries of the Massachusetts Historical Society and the New England historic-genealogical Society, of which he was a member, and thus gathered, in a crude form, much valuable material and information relating to the Barrett and other families. He soon learned, however, that the work, which in the ardor and enthusiasm of youth he had undertaken to perform, was much greater than he could reasonably expect to carry to a successful termination, with the time and means at his command. Nor was this the only reason that induced him. For a long time at least, to abandon the undertaking. Early in his investigation he found that such learned and accomplished specialists in genealogical studies as Savage, Shattuck, Hudson and others had seriously erred in some of their genealogical tracings, or else that the compiler of this work was misreading the early records of Middlesex towns and county, or was misapplying the facts and information therein contained, and consequently was arriving at erroneous conclusions. To say the least, this was discouraging to one whose inexperience in such mat ters would naturally lead him to accept and adopt, as conclusive, the result of the investigations of those who, for many years, had been, and still were, unquestioned authorities in matters of New England genealogy.
