Excerpt from Genealogical Notes, or Contributions to the Family History of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts The following pages contain a selection from the Genealogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which are treated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final corrections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspended, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death.
