Fully conscious of my inability to write and compile an accurate genealogical history of the Colver-Culver family, I am, nevertheless, going to try in this little volume to record a few of the interesting facts about Edward Colver, the Puritan, and founder of the family in the United States, and some of his numerous descendants. Despite the extreme care exercised in the gathering of this material, and the painstaking effort to verify the statements contained in these pages, there will, I fear, be found many inaccuracies, and especially noticeable will be the incompleteness of this family story.
