INTRODUCTION

The following pages are the printed records and results of years of painstaking and conscientious work on the part of the author and genealogist, Mrs. Clarence E. Verrill.  (See portrait on page 149.)

Few of the readers will appreciate the enormous amount of work required in compiling such information.  It is probable that each entry of a line of descent has required at least one personal letter and often many more.  The answers to these letters have required checking, further correspondence and final compilation to bring all into the completed and correct tabulation.

All this work has been done by Mrs. Verrill without hope of compensation and at great expense of time, money and vital energy.  In fact, a great deal of this work has been done on a sick bed in order to make the publication of the book possible at this time.

Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Verrill by the members of the Maltby family and readers of this book for her untiring efforts to bring to a successful completion the records contained herein and,

In behalf of the Maltby family the undersigned wishes to express to Mrs. Verrill his heart-felt appreciation of these years of labor which, though it has been a labor of love, has been none the less arduous.

We also wish to express our appreciation of the generosity and kindness of Mr. B. L. Maltbie, who undertakes the publication of this volume at his own expense and without the hope of ever receiving more than a partial reimbursement of the cost to him.

He has made available the results of the long years of Mrs. Verrill’s labor.

Our best wishes and many thanks to both of them.

 

F.B. MALTBY, President.

PREFACE

It was not the intention of the compiler to write a preface to this book, but upon going over the proof sheets those things I have don, and those left undone, seem very patent.  But “what is writ is writ, would that it were worthier.”

The records here given to the public are the result of many years of genealogical research work and many of the records are mere fragments which refused to fit in gracefully in any place, but have been included with the hope that they may sometime prove helpful in tracing ancestors.

This work has been carried on far from reference libraries and under adverse conditions, but I have endeavored to give the reference to the source from which every record was taken.  There are undoubtedly mistakes, but every effort has been made to keep these down to as few as possible, and it is to be hoped that where errors are discovered it will be called to my attention.

I am indebted to many people for data furnished and wherever possible I have tried to give credit where it was due for material copied from other publications or kindly contributed by individuals – to all of these I am heartily grateful.

It is the sincere wish of the compiler that the records contained in these pages may prove interesting to those who descend from the Maltbys and also helpful to any who seek further information of their ancestors.

DOROTHY MALTBY VERRILL.
