Yet after all my pains taking, many omissions and errors no doubt will be found in the work, — errors, incidental, mainly, to the nature of the work itself. In justification, however, of my own fidelity and care, I may say, that where I could expect accuracy Ihave frequently found myself deceived. I have been obliged in many instances to correct the dates of birth, which parents have unhesitatingly given of their own child ren, by referring to the family bible or the town register and in some instances per sons have been in error regarding the dates affixed to their own names.
