The most of his important records were already on mv pages. They are, however, of value, as confirming the correctness of the information I had collected, and have aided me in correcting dates &c. The passages in this work, copied from his manuscript are included in brackets, J, and followed by the letters, E. P., his initials. If any one asks why I have been willing, without any pecuniary return, to expend so much labor and money upon this work, I will refer him to the words of another, the President of the Genealogical Society, which very correctly express my own feelings.
