GENEALOGICAL WORK
PREFACE
By Jedediah Dwelley
More time has been given to collecting and arranging the family genealogies than is apparent to the careless reader, and yet the writer believes that the number of those persons who have been identified with Hanover and whose names do not appear in the following pages, is nearly as great as the number presented. This is of necessity true. Some collectors of family genealogies have numerous "Coats of Arms"; but the writer has made no effort to make such a collection. In New England a Coat of Arms has no significance, when genuine; and, when spurious, it tends to lower rather than to elevate the possessor, in the estimation of thoughtful people.
An investigation made some years ago by the Historic Genealogi- cal Society failed to discover more than twenty-nine families, among all the thousands that came from Great Britain to the New England shores, who were entitled to bring armorial bearings with them. Mr. Waters, from whom the above statement is quoted, says, "There are many spurious heraldic claims set forth by those who have too strong a liking for the symbols of aristocracy. These families use coats of arms of recent manufacture."
No one can give careful, unprejudiced study to genealogy with- out acknowledging how little difference there is in families re- garding the quality of their ancestry.
David Starr Jordan says, "There are few, if any, Englishmen and Americans to-day but have royal blood in their veins."
Dr. Palfrey, in his early history of New England, says: "Who- ever you are, reader, whose eye lights upon these lines, it is certain that the blood of King Egbert runs in your veins. It is as certain that it meets there with the blood of Egbert's meanest thrall."
A person of mature years will, in tracing his ancestry back to the date of the landing of the Pilgrims, find one thousand, perhaps two thousand ancestors, to all of whom he owes something in phy- sical and mental traits. It is said that at different hours a man represents each of his several ancestors.
It is considered by some as exceptional that they can boast of being Mayflower descendants, or that they are Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution.
2
HISTORY OF HANOVER.
More than one quarter of the people of Hanover to-day can trace their descent from the Mayflower, many of them on three or four different lines. It is also true that there is hardly a person whose American ancestry goes back to the War of the Revolution but will find one or two and perhaps a half dozen of such ancestors who fought in that war.
Perhaps too much has been said on these lines, but they must be the excuse of the writer for neglecting to emphasize superiority or distinction.
"Howe'er it be, it seems to me, "T is only noble to be good : Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than Norman blood."
To those, however, who study genealogy without pride or pre- tence, the words of Daniel Webster in his Plymouth address of 1820, when he dwelt on the value of genealogy as an aid and an incentive to right living are quoted : "Next to a religious duty I hardly know what should bear with stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened mind than a consciousness of an alliance with ex- cellence that has departed, and, a consciousness, too, that, in the acts and conduct and even in its sentiments and thoughts, the mind may be actively operating on the happiness of those who are to come after it."
The writer shivers when he thinks of the mistakes that will be discovered, and he will simply quote, as applicable, what the com- piler of the genealogical part of the History of Hingham says on this subject : "That there may be errors of omission and errors of date, as well as in the spelling of names (especially Christian names) in some portion of the work, which the genealogist of each family will notice, and perhaps criticise, is not improbable. But when it is considered that more than 50,000 lines with as many Christian names and about three times the number of dates have been written and re-written many times,-that the town, the parish, and family records often disagree concerning the same birth, marriage, or death, and that in many instances, especially of recent date, the facts required could not be ascertained from either public or private records,-it is hoped that the embarrassing con- ditions under which the writer has often labored, together with the magnitude of the undertaking, will in some measure be ac- cepted as an excuse for whatever is unsatisfactory."
It has been hard to collect all that has been presented, because of the failure of absent persons to respond, and in a few instances families have been omitted because of their own preference.
While we have given some facts of a later date, we have tried to. carry this work in its fullness to the first day of January, 1908, only. Some of the omitted families had at that time but recent- ly arrived in town. A few families who have become residents since that date and have become thoroughly identified with the town, have been included.
