Description:

This is a facsimile reprint of the original edition of 1857. The statistics collected in this biographical and chronological history, is the work of our aged inhabitant of Southold, now living, well known for his literary tastes and indefatigable application of the subject. It is an invaluable repository of facts, connected with the early settlement, character, and actions of our ancestors. The descendents of those ancestors are inhabitants of every section of the country, and it is natural they should trace their lineage to the graves of their fathers. It is incumbent on us, therefore, who live around them, to preserve the record of the facts in our possession for future reference, as evidence of their nativity. To future generations, this sketch must be most acceptable and gratifying. It abounds with anecdote, incident, and narrative, enlivening the tediousness of genealogous detail with many interesting and pertinent descriptions, more valuable to the native, but not the less agreeable to the general reader. The volume may not possess the fascination of fiction or the gravity of polemics; but more than these, it appeals to that earnest desire, which every one possesses, of knowing the history of his origin, and the vicissitudes of his race -- John O. Terry, Preface
