Excerpt from The Descendants of John Stubbs of Cappahosic, Gloucester County, Virginia, 1652 To the Members of the Stubbs Family: This little pamphlet is printed for private distribution only. copy will be presented to each member of the family, with the hope that after a close examination a report will be made of all errors, either of omission or commission, to the undersigned for correction in the next edition. The author is painfully aware of its imperfections, but it is the best that he could extort from the various branches of the family after the expenditure of much time and labor. On account of apathy and indifference, his letters of inquiry were frequently unanswered; hence the incompleteness of several lines. His thanks are due, however, and are hereby tendered to several members for the valuable assistance given him. While conscious of the incompleteness of his work, the author is yet emboldened to publish what he has, realizing that the information contained herein is too valuable to be withheld from print. He hopes in the future to publish a revised and more complete edition, and will do so at an early day if every member of family will assist in making the necessary corrections and am ments. Whatever the merits of this little pamphlet may be, it is given to the family with the modest hope that it may stimulate each and every member to nobler deeds and higher aspirations.
