HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
PART TENTH.
GENEALOGIES.
FOREWORD.
Part ten, to many, will be the most interesting in this book, because it contains the history of the families, which have built up the town. The family is the unit of greatest importance, and nowhere does the family appear to better advantage than in rural New England communities.
The citizens of Jericho have reason to be proud of their an- cestry, and it is high time that permanent record should be made of those preceding generations as well as of the present, ere they become altogether lost and forgotten. There might have been one hundred families occupying this township 130 years ago. One of these families is known to have five or six thousand de- scendants throughout the United States and Canada. Now mul- tiply by one hundred. Possibly this is more than an average family in point of numbers, yet the importance of the matter is beyond comprehension.
The town also has much to its credit in the achievements of those who have gone forth from our limits and have won fame and fortune in other places. This large field of the Jericho in- fluence is just being entered into, and the following genealogies and biographical sketches will tell the reader to what heights of influence the Jericho boys and girls have attained.
In this part Mr. LaFayette Wilbur has spent many months of time and efficient labor and Rev. S. H. Barnum has performed service hardly less valuable. The families are arranged alpha- betically for the convenience of the reader.
