INTRODUCTION.
GENEALOGICAL inquiries have become far more frequent than they were fifty years ago. Since the publication of the first volume of the History of Ancient Woodbury in 1854, by the compiler of this, he has been overwhelmed by a multitude of letters, increasing in number with the passing years, making inquiries after genea- logical information not contained in that book. The design of the genealogical part of that work was the introduction of the genealogies of such families, bearing the early names in the ancient territory, as the living members of which would interest themselves in furnishing him, from family Bibles and other authentic sources, the later branches, so as to make a complete family history. This was needful, because, from the breaking out of the War of the Revolution, the public records were scantily and imperfectly kept for more than fifty years. At the time of the publication of that work, great inattention and ignorance existed in relation to genealogical information. The writer was often amused, in the course of his inquiries, when he found intelli- gent and otherwise well-informed persons unable to tell the names of their grandfathers. Perhaps the publication of the History of Ancient Woodbury, with others of a similar nature of other locali- ties, has had much influence in arousing and fostering an interest in genealogical inquiries. At any rate, the pressure of these inqui- ries upon the compiler has become so great, that he is in some sense compelled to publish this work as a personal relief from the labor of continual searches of the records to answer the questions of correspondents. After this work shall have been published, the writer can answer each inquirer by a printed circular, saying : " Behold ! I have written it all in a book; purchase, and search for yourselves."
This spirit of research,-this inquiry after the history of one's ancestors, near or remote, is commendable. The sons of New England have an ancestry of which they may well be proud. We

are far from saying that pride of birth, or arrogance of position are to be commended and cultivated, or that they are to be compared to an upright life and virtuous character. In this regard, we join with Frederick of Prussia in the exclamation : "I love the lineage of heroes ; but I love merit more. Patents of nobility are but phantoms ; true worth is within. Kings are nothing but men, and all men are equal." While, therefore, we repudiate the idea that there is any honor in searching for an illustrious ancestry as a means to elevate the ignoble in the estimation of the world, and in relying on such ancestry as a shield to cover, not only a multi- tude of transgressions, but also great mental imbecility and mean- ness; yet it is nevertheless true that the upright son of genius, who can point to a long and virtuous line of ancestors, whose fair fame has been by himself untarnished, has that whereof he may well be proud. Not that mushroom, aristocratic pride, so often witnessed in those whose fathers were from the lowest grade in life, which leads its possessor to daintily spurn the air breathed by those whom he terms the "common herd "; but that manly pride experienced by those who are actuated by pure aspirations and high resolves for the good of mankind; for the advancement of the best interests of the race. Such men have a right to search the dim and dusky records of the past, and having found an hon- ored and virtuous line of progenitors, have a right to be recorded as the legitimate and true descendants of an illustrious race. In this view, the inquiries concerning this subject, made during the last few years with so good success, are eminently praiseworthy. All such investigations should tend to rebuke false pride, and to encourage unobtrusive merit. There is no more contemptible spectacle in social life than the foolish and absurd airs put on by miserable pretenders to standing and refinement, so often seen by sensible observers. If such coxcombs and butterflies could know and appreciate the supreme contempt bestowed upon their preten- sions by all people of common sense, it is believed that some, even of their number, brazen-faced and hardened as they have become, would be shamed into propriety. Such behavior is to the last degree vulgar and disgusting. There is no gentility in it.
No inquiries can be more interesting to the intelligent student of human nature, than those that relate to the generations of men. The feelings that prompt them are just and natural. They give birth to some of the dearest charities of life, and fortify some of the sternest virtues. The principle that prompts them lies deep

within our nature. In the eloquent words of Edward Everett. uttered during the last years of his life .- " The sacred tie of family, which, reaching backward and forward, binds the genera- tions of men together, and draws out the plaintive music of our being from the solemu alternations of cradle and grave-the black and white keys of life's harpsichord; the magical power of lan- guage, which puts spirit in communion with spirit in distant periods and climes ; the sympathies of country, which lead the Greek of the present day to talk of the victories ve gained over the barbarians at Marathon; the mystic tissue of race, woven far back in the dark chambers of the past, and which, after the vicis. situdes and migrations of centuries, wraps up great nations in its broad mantle: those significant expressions which carry volumes of meaning in a word-Forefather. Parent. Child. Posterity. Native Land : these all teach us, not blindly to worship, bat duiy to honor the past, to study the lessons of experience, to scan the counsels of man in his great associations, as those counsels have developed in constitutions, in laws, in maxims, in traditions, in great, undoubted principles of right and wrong; which have been sanctioned by the general consent of those who have gone before us: thus tracing in human institutions some faint reflection of that divine wisdom which fashioned the leaf that unfolded itself six weeks ago in the forest, or the pattern of the leaf which was bathed in the dews of Paradise in the morning of creation."
As already stated, the two volumes of the History of Woodbury, although they fill sixteen hundred and fifty pages, contain only a small part of the genealogical matter scattered through the records of the ancient town, and of those of the several towns which have been set off from it. The births, marriages, and deaths in the early records are scattered among many volumes, and are mixed up with the records of deeds, town rates, car-marks of sheep, brand for cattle, lay-outs of highways, and on the top, bottom, and mai gins of the pages devoted to the several other records, in inter- minable and indescribable confusion. In all of these hiding- places the writer has sought out each recorded item of births. mar- riages, and deaths, and collated them by years, so that any person can take the book and trace out his own genealogy, so far as the records show it; and he will find it a curious study to note the number of persons to whom he is related by blood, or marriage. The compiler has also added under the several years, with the recorded items, all additional items which have been furnished

him from family Bibles and other authentic documents. So that this work contains a large number of family items not found upon the public records, and is, therefore, a much more complete record of the items of which it treats. The work also contains the early baptismal records of the several churches in the ancient town. The early ministers were very careful in the recording of these-baptism being one of the " sealing ordinances." and a record of the names of the participants in these was held to be peculiarly sacred. and was guarded with religious care. They seemed to feel. in all its force. the statement, that what is " bound on earth is bound in heaven."
I the early days, almost all the children were baptized in a few days succeeding birth, and as soon as the mother was able to attend church. Some felt bound to have their children baptized on the eighth day, to correspond in time with the old rite of eireumcision. the place of which this ceremonial took. As in those days the people believed that infants, dying without baptism, were lost to all eternity, if the child showed weakness, and there were fears that it would not live, the minister was sent for. and the child was baptized at the house of its parents. In consequence, we fre- quently meet with an entry like this,-such a child " was baptized at the house. it being in danger of non-continuance." The effect of all this was to make the early baptismal records more complete and perfect than the town record of births: and for all genealogical and practical purposes, it is nearly as useful as the public town record, as when you trace the date of the baptism of a child, you are sure that you have the date of its birth within a few days. The effect of publishing both the births and baptisms, is, that many names will be thus repeated. but will in no wise perplex the & reader or investigator.
In business matters, and in the Probate and other courts, the semites of births, marriages, and deaths are in constant demand. anchey are of the utmost importance in pension cases. It has been S'the careful endeavor of the writer to make these records so per. fect that town clerks and registrars can certify to items from the hook, instead of being compelled to look over several volumes for an item at every call. At least, he can, once for all, compare his records with the book, and use it ever after.
It is well known that Woodbury was first settled, principally, by emigrants from Stratford. To aid, therefore, in genealogical inquiries. it was thought desirable to insert all the recorded births, marriages, and deaths on the Stratford records, from its settlement

in 1639, some three years after the first settlement in the colony at Hartford, to 1728. This adds very much to the value of the work in a genealogical view.
As this work is to be used, principally, as one of reference, a list of the public officials of the town, members of Congress, judges, senators, county commissioners, town clerks, a list of governors of the State, a list of the sovereigns of England, who ruled while we were governed as a colony of that power, and other items, have been inserted.
It is not generally known, that the record of births in the several towns in this State since 1852, is utterly useless. The names of the parents, and the date of birth are given, but not the Christian name of the child. To remedy this defect, as far as possible, the writer sent an agent to each house in the five towns to obtain the names. But on account of death and the removal of families, the record contained in this book is far from perfect.
This is a work never before undertaken, so far as the author is informed, in any town in the United States, and must be of great interest and value to every family in the ancient territory, and to multitudes outside of it. It is the initial work, to which similar items may be added to the end of time. With these brief remarks, the work is submitted to the judgment of a discriminat- ing public.
In this work all dates of the month, previous to the 14th of September, 1752, are old style, and all after are new style. The year, between the 1st of January and the 25th of March (before the adoption of the new style), is uniformly treated, where a double date is not given, as new style. As a brief explanation of the cause of the difference of style, we give the following : When the computation by the Christian era was introduced, the com- mencement of the year was fixed on the Day of the Annunciation. or incarnation of Christ, which event (the Nativity being fixed December 25th), was placed on the 25th of March. This continued the commencement of the year in England and her dominions till the alteration of style in 1752. when, by an act of Parliament, it was enacted that eleven days should be struck out of the month of Sep- tember, that the 3d should be dated the 14th; that one day should be added to the month of February every fourth year, to conform their chronology to that of the other nations of Europe, which had introduced a similar alteration previously. in order to correct the error arising from the precession of the equinoxes,-and that the

year should commence with the Ist of January, instead of the 25th of March. Before that time, to preserve a correspondence of dates with those of other nations, it had been usual to give a double date from the Ist of January to the 25th of March; thus February 12, 1721, was writ en "ffebruary ye 12th, 1722." The omission of the lower number would cause an error of a year ear- lier than the true date.
