PREFACE.
THE following Genealogies, originally prepared at different times, with variou degrees of minuteness and extent of research, and brought down to different dates were designed, and some of them proposed for insertion in the Genealogical Register This was done under the impression that each article might appear continuously i one vol. of that Periodical, and be as attracting and available as if published in an other form or connection. But on further information I find that the longer articles to gain admission, must be divided into several parts, inserted here and there, mixe with other historical and genealogical matter, and be delayed for a perilous time and even beyond the probable expectancy of life in some who have expressed muc interest in the publication. I have therefore decided to issue my collections in th following form, believing that this will prove more satisfactory than the one originall proposed.
This change enhances the cost of publication without giving the subscribe an equal number of pages or amount of matter ; but this will be made up in th binding of the work, and, as it is hoped, in the greater satisfaction of finding, inserte continuously, in the same vol., not only the race, with which his name is arranged but also, other cognate races through which in female lines he may derive his descer from'other and different stocks.
To those then who pledged their patronage to the other form of issue, will copie of this be forwarded at prices barely sufficient to cover the outlay, which has bee surprisingly great. This, if stated, all might not appreciate. Indeed, none but th experienced in this department of toil, perplexity and expense could be expecte to do so. But I have not labored without pay ; for the months and years of lonel seclusion devoted to the work have abounded with seasons of sweet communion wit departed worth, and delightful views of former days. Nor do I send forth th humble and imperfect production without hopes of future reward ; for weak an treacherous as human gratitude is, I may gain her thanks from breasts where r finement and humility dwell, for the introduction here given to forgotten ancestor honored of God in their day with a part in that mighty agency which is changin the condition of mankind and the aspect of the world ; to ancestors who cooperate to found the institutions in which we glory ; and who bequeathed to us an ope Bible and uncorrupted gospel, and followed us in their prayers which are no being answered in our happiest experience.
Nor is this all. There is pleasure in the hope that useful history has bee snatched from oblivion, and landmarks pointed out for future and more successfi explorations ; that many will be moved to perfect and transmit their genealogy ; an that generations to come will be supplied with a Directory for finding their kindre of another sex, that they may decline alliances interdicted by nature and her Autho and be saved from the sin of defeating wholly or in part a chief object of the earthly mission.
The Genealogies here presented are in all cases as complete to 1800 as the red ords consulted, and far more so. Thousands of names are here recorded for th first time ; and thousands of others, on no public record, may yet be added in supple ments, if those noticing the omissions will report them. And are none of the kindred or descendants interested to do so? Will it not be an act of kindness t preserve evidence of their legitimacy ? and also of their descent from the remote ancestor remembered ? The first edition of any Genealogical work is never withor errors. This, with all the care I have bestowed, must have them. These, it is hoped will be carefully and immediately pointed out in writing, that they may be hereafte corrected ; and as the Adams, Bullard, Holbrook, Rockwood, Phipps and Sange races are designed to be continued, any of either of these races are especially requeste to report whatever needs correction or addition.

Sherborn, Middlesex Co., Mass., Sept. 15, 1855.
EXPLANATION.
On the left of names and next to the left hand margin are two columns of Arabic figures ; the right hand column consisting of running numbers, and the left hand of referring numbers. The latter, if before a father's name, (and then it is ever less than the No. to the right of it) refers back to the same figures in the column of run- ning Nos. where his name occurs as a child. If the referring No. is before a child's name, (and then it is always larger than the No. to the right,) it refers onward to the same figures in the column of running Nos. where he occurs as a father. Names having no referring Nos. before them, are either traced no further, or they have their descendants arranged immediately below their names.
Dates following the names of wives without the word and intervening, refer to her.
Numerical letters before the names of children denote their No., which must not be confounded with the running numbers in Arabic figures. These numerical letters are dropped when the child becomes a parent.
Small figures after names mark their generations, their Puritan ancestor being ac- counted the first.
? after a figure, denotes the reference not certain.
? after a name, signifies that it is inferred from circumstantial evidence or doubtful records, or that it has not been traced.

Initial letters are put for the names of places immediately after they have been spelled.
The practice of double dating between Jan. 1st and March 25th,-thus 1675-6, until the introduction of N. S. in 1752, is retained to prevent confusion, and enable families to compare and correct their dates.
N. B. Prior to 1752, the civil year began in March, which was called the first month, April 2d month, often expressed thus,-25 (2) i. e. 25th day, 2d month. To render O. S. into N. S., the first month must be accounted the 3d, and ten days be added to all dates between 1582 and 1700, and eleven days to dates between 1700 and 1752. For the single year 1600, eleven days must be added.
