Family Memorial e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The printing of this volume was commenced in 1845, and has necessarily progressed slowly, in consequence of the dif ficulties and delays in obtaining authentic materials, occasion ed often by the tardiness of correspondents and the indifference of those who Should have been interested in the matter. The author takes pleasure in commending it to those for whom it is especially designed - the kilbourn Family of America. Though he cannot flatter himself that his work is destitute of errors, he still believes it to be freer from them that the gener ality of books of the kind. He would here express his ac knowledgments to the Hon. James kilbourne, of Worthing ton, Ohio austin kilbourn and geo: goodwin, Esqrs., of Hartford, Conn. Maj. Edward kilbourne, of Fort Madison, Iowa Hon. Ira kilburn, of Lawrenceville, Pa; Rev. Wm. S. Porter, of Farmington, Conn., and others, for their valna ble assistance in collecting genealogical and other facts.
