GENEALOGIES.
We insert the following, being nearly all we could find in the town books. Pity 'tis that families do not have their family records recorded on the town books, the same as they did in old times; and a thousand times more pity 'tis that families have no children of any consequence to record. Oh! it is the meanest of all mean things to let our race "play out" by being too mean, too stingy, too lazy to have children.
