Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Genealogical History of the Harwood Families, Descended From Andrew Harwood, Who Was Born in England and Resided in Boston, Mass E\ er since the first edition was published I have continued to collect material for a second, and I think the records herein contained will be found as accurate and complete as it is now possible to make them Nevertheless. It can hardly be expected that no errors will be made in writing such a work; it is even possible that there may be errors in the very arrangement of the eailv generations of the family. \vhen we remember that there are several distinct branches of Harwoods in New England, as well as several in the Southern States, and that the ances tors of these different families immigrated from Eng land to America at about'the same time; when we further take into account that in almost every town here our forefathers dwelt there were also living families of the other branches of our name; and, when, with all this we take into consideration that the early town records, which were often but imper fectlv kept, are now in many places lost, we cannot think it strange that such a work should be incom plete in spite of the most careful painstaking. All that the most faithful genealogist can do is to take the material now obtainable. Study carefully each doubtful record, and give it the place to which it seems most probable to belong. This I have done, and in cases of uncertainty I have used the word probably, or some word of similar import, to maik the uncertainty.
