SOLDIERS IN THE LATE WAR.
Great care and pains have been taken to get a correct list of soldiers in the late war for publication in the Town History. For this purpose application was made to the Adjutant General's office at Augusta, but without avail. I then applied to the Town Clerk of Newcastle, but was told that no record of them was kept in that office. My only resource then was, to consult the Records which the Adju-

GENEALOGY.
PREFACE TO GENEALOGY.
Any one who has never been engaged in making up a Town Genealogy, cannot have a just idea of the vast amount of labor there is in doing it. Materials have to be collected from the families themselves ; and the indefiniteness and want of thought that there is, on the part of many people, in a matter of this kind, makes the business embarrassing, per- plexing and oftentimes unsatisfactory. Informants often- times hesitate-don't know --- must ask some one else, who perhaps are no better informe:l than themselves-nor do they always agree among themselves. And the inquirer is obliged to feel his way carefully, and proceed with his work as best he can. And after that, the work must be made up with all the care, correctness and diligent patience that there is in pre- paring an Algebra or an Arithmetic for the public eye. Every date, every name and every child must be reported correctly ; else the thousand eves who are to look upon it, will see the error, if there be any, andl be quick to proclaim it. And perhaps the mistake will be just where the inform- ant, and not the transcriber, has been at fault.
That this work is perfeet, is not pretended - that the utmost pains have been taken to make it so, neal not be asserted. It is quite impossible to make such a work absolutely perfect. The most that can be hoped for, is approximation. And yet, what is here obtained, we think,
352
GENEALOGY.
may be regarded as reliable, and will prove of immense advantage to those families who are here reported, as well as others.
I have here, in this Genealogy, over four hundred fami- lies; some to whom I have applied, have failed to furnish me with the information desired, and a very few individuals have requested that the facts of their Geneaology should not appear in my Book. The wishes of such people have been most serupulously complied with. Some families I have failed to call upon, because time and strength have both failed me. I present my work to the public, asking for it a favorable consideration and a candid judgment ; being well persuaded that no other man of this generation, will go over this ground after me and publish a Genealogy of the town in opposition to mine.
