Excerpt from Ancestors of Rev. Williams Howe Whittemore, Bolton, 1800 Rye, N. 1885, and of His Wife Maria Clark, New York, 1803 Brooklyn, 1886
The facts assembled in this small volume were gathered in part from publications which are not named because they are accessible to any searcher. Whenever these books seemed of doubtful accuracy or did not exist, the original town records were searched for vital statistics, land entries, settlements of estates and court proceedings. In several instances the records had been burned.
The alphabetical arrangement of families used with the two charts renders an index superfluous to those for whom the book is printed.
