PREFACE.
HAVING in my researches among the ancient and musty records and papers in possession of the old families of King's County (who have kindly favored me with the use of the same), gathered much genealogical and other information worthy of preservation and of use to future genealogists and historians, I take this method of endeavoring to effect that object, and of preserving the same for the use of the public, hoping that it will prove acceptable. To make the work more complete, the records of the state, county, towns, and churches have been carefully examined, and the name of every resident, and of landholders not resident therein found, inserted. That the work is so perfect as to contain the names of all such, the names of all their children, with correct dates in all cases, is not pretended, but an honest effort has been made to effect this object. Surnames and names of parents are in many cases enclosed in brackets.
