The Early History of Southampton, L. New York (Classic Reprint)
The object of the author of this work is not.to give a completehistory of the town, though the work is necessarily historical. It is rather to present, so far as possible, a picture of the life and struggles of our ancestors in subduing a wilderness and progressing in the arts of civilization. It is so far an episode in the early history of the colonies. Besides this, it has been deemed proper to record any salient facts or occurrences of later date of general interest. The importance of the genealogical portion of the work can scarcely be over estimated. The far greater part of this has been constructed with great care by the author from an almost infinite number of isolated records in wills, deeds, family Bibles, church and town records of all descriptions, tomb-stones, and from whatever source afforded with certainty a name and a date. Since the publication of the first edition in 1866, all this material has been reviewed, and the addition of much genealogical information has made it necessary in most cases to rewrite the whole. Wherever assistance was afforded in this it is duly accredited. While the author has consulted Prime and Thompson, the historical portion has been derived almost wholly from original sources ;that is, from original MSS. documents in the town records and office of Secretary of State at A lbany, and from the earliest historians of the colonial period. Great care has been taken to present perfect copies of the ancient instruments of writing relating to the history of the town ;but it is found by comparison that the orthography of the same document varies considerably, whenever it is more than once recorded.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Book
