John North of Farmington Connecticut and His Descendants 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. Unfortunately, however, the dates in this record fail to give the day and month of events. To the late Mr. Julius Gay of Farmington, who compiled from original sources the vita records of many old families in that vicinity, are due many of the exact dates given in the early generations in this volume. His manuscript, based apparently on the Porter record, and with marginal references for every date, is in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford. In 1893 Mr. John Hollister North of New Haven, undertook the completion of the Porter record, and after much painstaking research, succeeded in completing many of the lines to that date, besides adding much biographical matter.
