FAMILY RECORDS.
G HE compiler is well aware of the imperfection of these family records, but in justification of himself, he proposes to show that the fault is not his own. As soon as it was determined to compile and publish a history of the town, blanks were prepared and a sufficient number sent to Rumford to supply every family in town. Blanks were also sent to non-resident natives of Rumford so far as their places of residence could be ascertained. During the year 1888 and the early part of 1889, over three hundred blanks were sent out to be filled, and of this number only seventy-nine have been filled and returned. In some cases, a second blank has been sent and in very many instances letters have been written, earnestly calling attention to the matter, but as a general thing, they have met with no response. Where early Rumford families have become extinct in town, the compiler has taken special pains to collect their records, and while success has in some cases crowned his efforts, in others it has not. He has had access to the records of the town, but these records are often wrong, as is evinced by the fact that they do not always agree with the records furnished by the families direct. The records of births and deaths are not, in scarcely any town, kept as the law requires. They are only recorded spas- modically and at long intervals, so that in many cases, the births in a family are left incomplete, and always remain so. From the town records that have been examined, it would seem that scarcelv any record of births have been made for over twenty years, while the law requires that they be regularly and systematically kept year after year. It is a notable fact that, with all modern facilities for doing it, town records, so far as they relate to births, marriages and deaths, are not as well kept now as they were three score years ago.
The town records therefore, have furnished but little material for
286
HISTORY OF RUMFORD.
these genealogical sketches, and no doubt in many cases, that little will prove to be incorrect, and where families have neglected to furnish it themselves, the records are only fragmentary and some- times of little value. Sketches of a large portion of the very early settlers and their families will be found here, and it is in the fam- ilies of the grandchildren of these settlers, still living and able to furnish the information, but have neglected to do so, that the records will be found most incomplete. It would not be strange, and in fact it would be exactly in accordance with the experience of the compiler in similar cases, were these same persons who have neglected to furnish the information asked for, the first ones to complain of the imperfection of the records. But these family sketches incomplete and imperfect as they are, will, in the future, be of interest, and be more frequently referred to than any other part of the book. Such is invariably the case, and this will prove no exception. Names are recalled here which have long been for- gotten, and other names of former residents which, but for these brief pages, would soon have passed into utter oblivion. If there had been a representative of each family to have furnished the records as they have been furnished for the Virgin family, by Chap- lin Virgin, the Howes of Ellis river, by Lucretia T. Howe, and the Lufkins and Kimballs by Merrit N. Lufkin, there would have been much less cause of complaint. These persons have responded promptly to every call for information, and have even in some cases, furnished information for families that neglected to furnish it for themselves. In the list of those who have acted promptly in giving information should also be mentioned James S. Morse and Henry M. Colby. All these have the grateful thanks of the compiler. The families are arranged alphabetically and where records are manifestly incomplete, the fact is generally stated that they are from the town records.
Аввот.
The families of Abbot have been more numerous in this town than any other and are still so. They are all of old Andover stock but came here generally by way of Concord, N. H. Both of the Andover families are represented here, and by inter-marriages both at Concord and here, are related to many of the Rumford families not bearing this name.

ADAMS.
Adams is a very common name in England. In Wales it was early called Ap Adam, and in Scotland the name still appears as McAdam. We also have the name of Adamson, and these several names have the same signification, namely "Son of Adam." Some have claimed to have traced the family back to the early part of the thirteenth century, to a titled Ap Adam of the Welsh Marches, but much of it is spurious and especially that portion which claims to connect Henry Adams, the emigrant ancestor of President John Adams, with the Welsh nobleman. There were a dozen or more persons bearing this name of Adams who came early to New Eng- land, and some of those who bore the name of MeAdam when they came, dropped the prefix and adding its equivalent s became Adams.
