Excerpt from The History of Union, Conn Some people may feel dissatisfied that they or their families do not receive fuller mention in the genealogies. The writer wishes it under stood that, if in some cases he has traced out some families farther than others, or has given a fuller account of the lives of some persons than of others equally prominent, it has been because he has had the material at hand in one case and not in the other. He has endeavored to make the genealogies as complete as possible. But a little reflection will show that to make them absolutely complete in all their ramifications would be an endless as well as an impossible task. Hence any defects of this kind are due not to partiality but to lack of time and Opportunity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
